“The resolution suggests that all anti-Zionism—it states—is antisemitism. That’s either intellectually disingenuous or just factually wrong,” said New York Representative Jerry Nadler, who voted present. “The authors if they were at all familiar with Jewish history & culture should know about Jewish anti-Zionism that was and is expressly not antisemitic. This resolution ignores the fact that even today, certain Orthodox Hasidic Jewish communities … have held views that are at odds with the modern Zionist conception.”
The claim that hating the Israeli government is anti-Semitic is deeply anti-Semitic. Trump leveled the same core idea at Col. Alexander Vindman, that as a jew, his true loyalty must be to Israel. It’s an all too common anti-Semitic trope.
Zionism = Nazism.
