Racism should not go unchallenged and neither should anti-Semitism go unchallenged. There is a line past which otherwise legitimate criticism of Israeli policies becomes anti-Semitic bile, and the Congresswoman crossed it. I hope she will retract and restate.

I’m not trying to “read my base;” I’m stating what I believe to be true. Otherwise I have neither heart nor spine. Hatred for anyone is bad for everyone, and we should all be able to agree on that.

I respect that you feel that way. I simply feel differently. We don’t always have to agree about everything as long as we disagree with honor and respect.

The fact that you're unable to distinguish between actual anti-Semitism and an orchestrated smear campaign is exactly why I won't ever consider you as a candidate.

On this issue, one will make or break any genuine candidacy. Specialness & mis-identity are cause of both 'racism' & 'anti-Semitism' - not hate. Hate is the effect. An authentic spiritually grounded leader will not compromise on this, nor deny it to gain support or finance.
