> is also totally antisemitic to say Israel has a stronghold over the US.

Sure. Ignore AIPAC.

Sure, build a false dichotomy that we either support Israel unconditionally or we hate Jews and support every antidemocratic nation in the eastern hemisphere.

Sure, further propagate antisemitism by intentionally conflating any criticism of Israel the government with the religion of Judaism.

I can be critical of Qatar and Saudia Arabia and China and Russia and Israel, for all the necessary reasons.

I think the Cuban exiled community in Florida have too much of a hold on US politics as they leverage their local power a lot given FL is a swing state.

Weirdly, making this kind of criticism never warranted me a label of anti-Hispanic or anti-Cuban.

		I would say it is borderline when you focus on the group rather than individuals. Also the Cubans haven't had the same history of racism as the Jewish people.

AIPAC and CAIR do not have the same influence over US policy or politicians. Come on.

Ah, now it's actually jealousy. Just moments ago you called making such an observation antisemitism.

Hilarious stuff.

		If you were Jewish you would not find this so funny. Yes, antisemitism is partly fueled by jealousy. The observation above that "Jews have a hold on the US" is antisemitism. Saying Jews are very successful because they work hard and they get stuff done despite all the hate is not antisemitism.
