The poll says 66 percent of Jewish voters in the US believe that Aipac’s campaign spending against candidates who criticise Israel actually increases antisemitism in the country.

In addition, 60 percent believe that Jewish organisations that label harsh criticism of Israel as antisemitic are exploiting concerns about antisemitism to defend unpopular Israeli government policies.

Notably, 80 percent of Jewish voters believe that Israel’s actions in the occupied West Bank and Gaza are increasing antisemitism in the US.

    Their morbid plan had one flaw: unlike Europeans in North America, they didn’t outright exterminate all the natives upon their arrival, they merely decimated and displaced them. The resentment stems from being neighbors with people who stole your land. Even the French were better at conolizing North Africa: they stole the land and decimated the population, but then they employed the natives and let them live there. It allowed them to stay a bit longer than otherwise. In the end they were kicked out after a bloody war of emancipation against apartheid and oppression.
