I am mixed on what I think of this...Below is, what I found, a reasonable response to the meme I liked.
She may not intended it to be anti Semitic, but her comments were couched in the terms of ancient anti semitic slur... that of accusing Jews of having a greater loyalty to “worldwide Jewry”... not to be trusted.. I don’t like that crook Netanyahu, and don’t approve of a lot that Israel does, but accusing American Jews of having more loyalty to Israel harks of Nazi Germany and much earlier. I wish she had not used a stereotypic slur..

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I don't care for religions generally but Islam is special in that they (most of them) don't accept the US Constitution as being predominant over their religious laws. I think there should be a legally binding question or provision that foreigners should agree to/sign before being allowed into the USA. Could also be applied to persons seeking political office.

Islam, like Christianity has multiple sects. You should get your facts straight. Jehovah's witnesses won't take any country's allegiance. Any one who flies a flag of the Army of Northern Virginia is claiming a traitorous opinion. Get rid of them all?
That isn't true Bill. Oh and please don't forget there are 1000s of home grown Muslims in USA same as here. Sharia law has many interpretations too. It is virtually identical but not as strict as fundamentalist Jewish law. Most of it pertains to dietary and dress codes.

Our combined western guilt as to how the Jewish brothers and sisters were treated coupled with some mad ideas that evangelicals have about the second coming does not excuse how the Palestinians have been treated. Both my sons identify as ethinically Jewish (coz of their Dad) , I am not anti-semetic but Isreal treats the Palestinians poorly.
