Unfortunately Josh Shapiro has also spoken in very disparaging and dehumanizing ways about Palestinians. His stance on Israel, it seems to me, may not, in fact, be sufficiently critical. Not for me anyway. The term “genocide” has also been used about non Jews, certainly in relation to Joe Biden, by the left. I tend to be wary of certain critiques of Jews, for obvious reasons. Nevertheless, at this point I do happen to think what Israel is doing comes seriously close to genocide and every day I become more convinced it is. I have little patience for those who still want to apologize for Israel, even given the crimes against Jews, for the state of Israel has been a disaster for the people who lived in that land for hundreds of years. I can attest to that.
Thanks for that, Marsha. It sickens me that Shapiro’s choice of religion is of interest in anything political. What ever happened to separation of ‘church’ and state? I think Harris made the right decision as Walz will be more deferential, but who knows if his Jewishness was of concern. In any case, the scrutiny he’s gotten over Gaza is clearly antisemitic. And the GOP will continue to tell lies about democrats and Judaism because it serves them…
