"... a doctor was at the scene and tried to help the woman... ICE agents refused to let the doctor in to help."

Probably the better example is what the IRGC does to Iranian civilians and is currently doing...they intentionally target civilian protestors with alarming regularity....But I wonder if that type of brutality by the handlers and supporters of Hamas concerns you as much, basically because it's not Israel.....to be clear, I am a progressive with decades of labor activism but have become convinced that, especially among my fellow travelers, anti Zionism is just thinly veiled anti-Semitism.

There is not a synagogue in America that doesn't require protective services....a fellow congregant out here in Cali was killed by a pro-Palestinian supporter who hit him in the head with a megaphone. The case is still pending in Ventura County criminal courts....Jews are openly targeted all over the world....there is something terribly wrong, and while Israel and the IDF should not be above reproach, selectively holding them responsible for the murder of an American citizen in Minnesota is demonization without cause.

the argument that anti zionism is not antisemitism doesnt hold up for me anymore....it's basically Jews may exist but they may not have their indigenous land to exist upon...the difference now as opposed to when the Nazis murdered my family in Europe is that Jews fight back....seems to bother quite a few folks...and for the record..I'm onboard for a Palestine living beside Israel in peace..just as it could of been in 1947
