    So you’re saying that had she not supported genocide, that she wouldn’t have got enough funding to run her campaign? How is that any better? Are you suggesting that Israel has so much money that a candidate can’t win unless they support whatever they do? Hasn’t the left been alleging that Israel having massive influence in American politics and media due to money was an antisemtic trope? How does Bernie win while still trying to stop weapon shipments to Israel?

      Its not antisemetic to point out a foreign nation is lobbying our government. Theyre far from the only country influencing it, and half our own people are down with it for their own religious reasons. This isnt blood libel. Not least of which for the fact that Israel does not represent all Jews, who- if I recall correctly- are among the only demographics to lean majority-Democrat this last cycle
