ANTISEMITISM IN AMERICA - Fault Lines

As I've said before, the UNCONDITIONAL support of Israel is NOT warranted, considering that their over-retaliation policies are 50% of the problem in the Middle East's 'Never Ending War.'  Yes, the Palestinians are the other 50% of the problem, but it IS the retaliations by both sides that is the problem.  So Israel SHOULD be criticized for their part.

Also, no outside entity (including the U.S.) can solve this problem.  Only the people (Palestinian and Israeli) can solve the problem by telling their governments to just stop.

"What the firestorm over Rep. Omar’s remarks says about anti-Semitism in America" PBS NewsHour 3/7/2019

Excerpt

SUMMARY:  Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn) faced a firestorm recently after suggesting political support for Israel might entail "allegiance to a foreign country."  After critics slammed her remarks as anti-Semitic, the freshman congresswoman apologized, and House Democrats wrote a resolution condemning bigotry.  Nick Schifrin talks to The Israel Project’s Josh Block, and J Street’s Jeremy Ben-Ami.
