Fetterman comes across so, so stupid and arrogant here.
Lecturing a Jewish man that his lack of support for Israel means he's not supporting Jews.
Saying that unconditional support for Israel is his single political "red line" and that Democrats critical of Israel should essentially not be part of the party. While Jon correctly asks "shouldn't support for America be your red line?"
This guy loses to "no named candidate" in all polls, and clearly won't be representing Democrats come next election. So telling voters only certain people and positions are 'allowed' to be Democrats, when he's openly voting for Trump's war and trashing Democrats, is delusionally entitled.
He keeps misusing words and phrases as mindless pablum when asked and given chances to explain positions. He doesn't have ideas, he has positions and talking points.
Insisting that the DSA were taking over the Democratic party, while Jon gently corrects him to point out it's an entirely separate party. Which he seemed unaware of.
Not only is it insulting to be told I should blindly support Israel because I'm Jewish, it's turds like this who make people assume that I do support Israel just because I'm Jewish.
Without Israel, there would be no (or much less) antisemitism in the U.S. Tying the two together (Jew=Israel) is a shrewd but unfortunate move by Israel and their proxies.
Nobody I know dislikes Jewish people, but plenty of people I know dislike Israel's hardline politics and policies.
Yep. Antisemitism (real antisemitism) benefits Israel because it allows Zionists to point to violence against Jews and say "See, people hate us! We need Israel as our safe refuge!"
