"Anti-Semitism on left is about policy, it’s not racial. The far-right thinks we are a different race. In Israel, they are not treating Palestinians equally. They are second-class citizens. I’ve been there many times and it’s like South Africa under Apartheid. People who feel the Israeli government is treating people ...
"Historically, I was far more concerned about white nationalism on the right. Trump’s part of it—he's a reflection of it. He's brought it out into the open. But I've been doing reading about the divestment movement on campuses and it just doesn't make sense to me that Israel is the ...
"We need a decent person, someone with integrity, who ends up in the presidency and then has the moral standing to be able to start addressing some of these issues. For me, anyone on the Democratic side would be able to accomplish that, whether they're my favorite candidate or not. ...
"I think Democrats need to do a better job of not getting on the Republican bandwagon that characterizes Representatives Omar and Pressley as anti-Semites, which they are not. It’s dangerous when this rhetoric refers to them as anti-Semitic simply because they critique Israel." ...

"I’m very concerned; the number of incidents that we've seen across the country is alarming. Anti-Semitism is something that many people thought was in the past or was less of an issue today. It's been a real wake-up call. We had a community meeting at the temple after one of ...
In the weeks leading up to their annual policy conference, AIPAC made headlines with its controversial ad attacking “radical” Democrats
