49. People are trying to divide us. But if we just remember

our values we can get past it. A true liberal or progressive is not going to look at what BB is doing in Gaza / the Middle East and use that as a basis to attack Jewish Americans or even Israeli citizens. That is disgusting and not something anyone here should support, condone or tolerate.

At the same time, in my opinion, a true liberal or progressive is not going to support what bb and trump are doing in the Middle East right now. It's not about gatekeeping, it's just a common collection of values. Most of us do not support pointless wars and we definitely don't support (or try to justify) the mass elimination of innocent men, women and children.

From my understanding, most Jewish Americans do NOT support what bb is doing. I also heard that most Israelis do not support him either. He's making all of us less safe.
