Did anyone call Sanders anti-semitic?

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 4 points 9 months ago

Yes, a number of users on Lemmy have made that claim, and this article shows references of it being done by various media outlets and other political pundits.

Sanders is Jewish.... I guess that wouldn't stop people from throwing baseless accusations around.

Wait till you get a load of this:

David Friedman, the conservative former US ambassador to Israel during Donald Trump’s presidency, went further, tweeting before Monday’s protest: “Any American Jew attending this rally is not a Jew – yes I said it!”

That's par for the course for the GOP. Toe the line or you're not whatever we say you're not (republican/American/and apparently now Jewish too).
