re: #46 Brother Holy Cruise Missile of Mild Acceptance

I agree that it could be “seen” that way and people like David Duke say it out right. I don’t think she “meant” it that way but people did take it that way. It is unfortunate that being critical of Israel and Israeli policy is seen as anti-semitic but I also believe that the leadership of Israel (Netanyahu) and the right wing in Israel like it that way. Criticize their bombing campaigns? Anti-semitic. Criticize civilian killings? Anti-Semitic. And yeah I would be just as critical of Palestinians trying to say I was anti-palestinian if I criticized their suicide bombers etc.

The problems is all she posted in the tweet that got her in trouble was a reference to money that also contained the word “Benjamins” and the Israeli Prime Minister is named Benjamin.

It left very little room for interpretations other than what occurred.
