20. So, it isn't anti-Semitic.

"Some of his family is Jewish!"

So, it's not anti-Semitic.

"He's just clarifying what a Jew's position should be about Israel."

So, it's not anti-Semitic.

"He's only talking about a specific group of Jews, not all Jews."

So, it's not anti-Semitic.

" (insert Jew) has said this isn't anti-Semitic."

So, it's not anti-Semitic.

"People are only calling this anti-Semitic, because they don't agree with his position and dislike him."

So, it's not anti-Semitic.

"Just because a number of Jews, who have pointed out the historical significance of this canard, say it is anti-Semitic, doesn't make it so."

So, it is not anti-Semitic.

"Why is it when he discusses Israel and Jews' relations to Israel, he is accused of anti-Semitism? Conflation!"

So, it is not anti-Semitic.

"Look at what the other side has said in the past. How is this any worse? It isn't! Where were the protests then?"

So, it is not anti-Semitic.


I, and many Jews, have heard this song before. We know all the lyrics (excuses). They aren't new to us. Attacking the loyalty of Jews for simply being Jews or using Israel as a measurement of Jewish loyalty, is anti-Semitic!

This song will get played again!
