LR: 5 CP: 3 - George Soros and his son Alex sent maximum contributions to liberal Washington congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, who has faced intense criticism from fellow Democrats in recent days for slandering Israel as a “racist state.”

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.), one of Jayapal’s fellow “Squad” members, on July 18 went on to denounce Israel as an “apartheid state” moments before she and other “Squad” members voted against a resolution that said Israel “is not a racist or apartheid state.” One day later, Israeli president Isaac Herzog in an address to Congress blasted U.S. lawmakers who oppose “the state of Israel’s right to exist.” Herzog also called Iran’s pursuit of a nuclear weapon “the greatest challenge Israel and the United States face at this time.”
“Vilifying and attacking Jews, whether in Israel, in the United States, or anywhere else in the world, is anti-Semitism,” Herzog said to wide applause. “Anti-Semitism is a disgrace in every form.”
What kind of coward hides behind accusations of racism to defend racism?
She never attacked Jews, she called out the country of Israel for it’s racist, colonial policies of stealing land from people who have been there for generations.
The conflation of criticism of Israel with anti-Semitism is frankly ridiculous, given how many Jews here in the US also (correctly) think that the Israeli government is an apartheid state where the population gets different rights depending on which ethnic group they belong to. George Soros himself is Jewish.
