Kansas Antisemitism Law Almost Explained

This topic is above our paygrade BUT we think prog bloggers in the Sunflower State have an interesting take on the topic . . . Here's a peek at the Democratic Party destroying themselves over an issue that shouldn't be this difficult . . . Check the soul searching . . . 

To be clear: People are criticizing Israel because it is committing significant human rights violations against Palestinians in the West Bank and especially Gaza, and not out of Jew-hatred. Jews are involved in every level of the Palestinian solidarity movement, including encampments.

Claiming otherwise has real consequences for real people, including dividing Jews between “good Jews” who support Israel’s actions (and Trump) and “bad Jews” who don’t and should be suppressed.

Where antisemitism exists on the left and in the pro-Palestine movement, it should be criticized and condemned, but we shouldn’t deploy state power to slay dragons that aren’t really there.
