“I think it’s important to distinguish between hatred against Israel and hatred against the Jewish people and not to conflate these two things.” @DovWaxman defends a CUNY Law School graduate who criticized Israel in her commencement speech, prompting backlash from NY politicians.

Rain bullets on all Zionists…Zionists are people, not a country .
I respectfully disagree. IMHO it is important to distinguish between dislike of current Israel govt policies and disagreement with Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state. The former is not antisemitic, the latter is antisemitic.

@sharon_nazarian - it is frightening this man has substantial influence over UCLA Jewish students. Even more frightening what he turns them into after 4 years.

Perhaps @DovWaxman is unfamiliar with @canarymission: Nope, no anti-Semitism in that @CUNYLaw speech, or the festering Petri dish of hatred & incitement from which it blossomed. Perish the thought. “May every Zionist burn in the hottest pit of hell.” canarymission.org/individual…

The issue is this, hatred against a Jewish state simply because it’s a Jewish state is antisemitism. It’s that simple.

Sorry, but that's sophistry, nothing less. And this defense is disgusting to listen to. If you want to debase your show with it, I'm going to have to consider putting it in the CNN-banned list as moving into the far-left anti-semitic group. It is anti-semitism. Period.

You are the epitome of self loathing Jew. She blatantly lies about the only predominantly Jewish country in the world and you defend IT. She literally calls for the genocide of 7 million Jews. Despicable

“prompting backlash from NY politicians” Did you not hear the backlash from Jewish NYers? Mohammed didn’t criticize Israel She engaged in slander, distortion & incitement At another gathering, she demanded a purge of professors who support Israel & excluding pro Israel students

@JNS, @jonathans_tobin, @DanielGordis @JeffreyHerf @AmmiHirsch For many professors of Jewish Studies, those who support or actually kill Israeli Jews aren't antisemitic; that label is reserved solely for those who kill America Jews -who are indisputably antisemitic.) 1
