Wow. Bravenak (DU member) going at it with Sarandon!

98. She made a single unfortunate statement, probably in anger. But that commenter is exaggerating

To say that "her antisemitism is well documented" is stretching the truth past the breaking point.

As George II indicated above, accusations of antisemitism were flying without any regard to reality. I am Jewish (and the son of a holocaust survivor) and I was accused of antisemitism for not supporting Bernie and for characterizing him as a snake oil salesman with a post of a video from one of my favorite movies "The Inspector General". The video is Yakov's elixer.

As I laughingly indicated to people at the time, besides the fact that I am Jewish, the Yakov in Yakov's elixer is not Jewish, they are Roma. And the film stars and is centered around one of my favorite actors of all time, Danny Kaye, who is Jewish and would not have participated in a film with any antisemitic depictions. In fact his role in Skokie was pretty groundbreaking, you should Google what that movie was about to see what I mean.

In any case, you have to take any antisemitism accusations by Bernie supporters against Hillary supporters with, if not a grain of salt, with at least deep suspicion.

One unfortunate statement is not "her antisemitism is well documented". I would have preferred if Bravenak had not said it, and it was right that she apologized, but many here who never have spoken up for Jews in any context other than this have used the issue as a political weapon rather than a fight against religiocentrism and bigotry.
