if you can't, even after it is pointed to you that this is a well trodden antisemitic slur, well then.

And whenever this is used with ANY Jew in government it will bring the same things from people who know the meaning of the words. FYI, there are CHRISTIANS who also vote the same way, and none says they are more loyal to Israel than the United States. NOR is AIPAC the only group lobbying for other countries. We have people doing it for the King of Saudi Arabia for example.. Japan has a nice operation, Hell, almost any friendly government has them.

It probably should not be done, but governments lobby each other regularly, and spy on each other regularly. It is kind of the way it is.

Myself, I am indeed exiting stage whatever, because I am tired of racism, antisemitism, and a few other things, And quite honestly, I am not surprised that any of this is rearing it's ugly head. It will get far worst. So time to check my passport. I might have to leave in a jiffy.
