Any Jew who thinks that both sides aren't filled with antisemites live in a bubble.

The difference is that the antisemites of the American Right hate Jews and want to send them all to Israel. The antisemites of the American Left hate Jews AND Israel and want them all to "go back to Poland" or some such bullshit.

Neither is optimal, but one is better.

I don't understand either view. I just don't get it.

As a conservative who knows many conservatives I cannot think of one who "hates Jews" or wants to "send them all to Israel.".

"Conservatives" aren't the problem, in the same way that not every pinko lefty wants Hamas to win. But Candace Owens exists, as does Nick Fuentes. And Nashville has some odd people visiting right now. Both parties accept their antisemites under the tent in order to finish first past the post.

Nick Fuentes has recently come out in support of the Squad for their hatred of Israel.

How do you properly address awful people who support your candidacy?

The difference is clear right now. The Republican leadership recognizes our long-standing friendship with Israel. The Republican leadership supports Israel's right to exist. The Democratic leadership recognizes neither.

I don't think it's "back to Poland", I think it's to the hereafter.
