Possibly because the Isreali lobby is real.
It's real, vast, and unbelievably well funded.
I was watching the Nightly News with Lester Holt last night and the last ad in a commercial break was one about anti-semitism being up 388% in the United States. That ended the break and Lester came back on...to show Israeli Settlers in the West Bank playing militia, pointing automatic weapons at US Journalists and ordering them to leave, then cut to an interview with an Old Jewish Woman who plainly said that all the Palestinians need to flee the illegal Israeli settlements or die...no other options allowed.
Last week that same news program was showing me, an American, dead Palestinian children in Gaza.
Gee, I freaking wonder why "anti-semitism" may be up nearly 400%. It's a mystery, truly a conundrum for the ages!
Why does disapproval of what Isreal is doing translate to antisemitism.
