Here Are All the Democrats Who Voted for the “Anti-Zionism Is Antisemitism” Bill
newrepublic.com

“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.”

That's not how it started at all, the Brits have a lot more to do with this one.

Naturally, but do we expect to be better at it?

I think I may have misunderstood you, I thought you were saying that America was responsible for Israel.

No that's my fault, I see why that's what it sounded like. It was intended as two different points.

  1. The US has a bad record of nation building.

  2. Israel exists because of failed nation building, specifically how the UK controlled Palestine and started encouraging Jewish migration to the holy land, displacing Palestinians.
