Criticism of Israel and Anti-Semitism Debate

I don't think that criticizing the government of Israel makes you an anti-Semite

even though I can

here we go guys

this is going to be the best two minutes

of this interview okay so opening statement

I don't think that criticizing Israel makes you an anti-Semite

let's go to the tape

consider myself a supporter of Israel

I don't think that makes you an anti-Semite

but it sure is interesting to see how this

is so often in American political discourse a distinction without a difference

that's right listen I I often say that it is perfectly possible

to criticize the government of Israel without becoming an anti-Semite

but I you never see it in the wild

right right right it's like the Higgs boson

it's yeah that's a theoretical particle but

look I'm not saying that any criticism of Israel is anti-Semitism

I'm just saying that literally every single person who ever criticizes Israel is an anti-Semite

again like you can't make it within 10 seconds

of declaring I'm not going to say that but

I'm literally going to say that immediately

after there is no he says in the wild it never happens

no one has ever criticized Israel without being a anti-Semite

by the way that means Barry Goldwater is an anti-Semite
