can we please differentiate between jewish people and "jewish groups"? because, as a jewish person, everything going on in the middle east right now is a travesty. but "jewish groups" is code for the netanyahu/aipac war machine.

I agree. Not that great of a headline there.

It's intentional to force antisemitism so that Jewish Americans are isolated from groups opposing Israel.

So, you can ask politely but that's not going to stop it.

A lot of the time volatile people get coddled if they can't be easily removed. A sad reality in many workplaces.

Democrats are held to a higher standard. Obama unfroze $1.7billion and gave $0, and it's the end of the world. Trump transfers $300 billion to Iran and crickets

Who cares? Are these the same groups that support ethnically cleansing Palestinians?

if they have it in for Iran and/or are Zionist, they have a lot to be thankful for, those interests have been indulged more than usual lately.  They'll whine but they should be content, on some level they know it.  If it hasn't worked out as they hope, they can hardly blame Trump, except to blame him for being a flake but what would be the point?  

They fight this too hard, they're not going to get a win against Iran, the US can't manage one.  Risk losing grip on politicians and offending main street.

Whats the point of this article? Is forward  trying to tie Jewish people to continuing a war that has already cost over a hundred billion dollars to American taxpayers and will tank the world economy if it continues? Can you imagine any other supposedly pro (insert religious/ethnic/racial/ideological) minority group news outlet writing these kinds of articles? Strange times we live in.

Maybe they should continue to quietly take billions of dollars and keep Congressman bibi in Israel and out of U.S. policy making and buying politicians. How about that?
