@RepThomasMassie
I agree with the title “Reaffirming the State of Israel’s Right to Exist” and much of the language, but I’m voting No on the resolution because it equates anti-Zionism with antisemitism. Antisemitism is deplorable, but expanding it to include criticism of Israel is not helpful.

And his explanation is sound. No true friend of Jews or of Israel or of rational argument could, in good conscience, surrender his sacred vote to the notion that to oppose or criticize Zionism is antisemitism. Is opposition to or criticism of BLM or the NAACP racism?
Some here don’t really want a representative with actual integrity, and that’s a sad thing.
Massie ,votes on the wrong side most of the time. He is a Democrat at heart.
I fully support Thomas Massie and Israel at the same time.
Both the USA and Israel have Establishment Politicians who spend money wildly and are Globalists unlike Mr. Massie.
False comparison.
No, this has nothing to do with free speech, and equating anti-Zionism and antisemitism does not attack free speech.
I think the people who claim to be Conservative and support the Constitution and celebrate boycotting Bud Light which is their right turn around and vote for laws in the various states to ban people from boycotting Israel like they have repeatedly done.
The Neocon wars are wars where the USA supports jihadists AL Qaeda followers-groups the kind of folks who perped 9/11.
The discussion needs to start on that matter.
“ Anti-Zionism is NOT criticism of Israel, CongressIdiot!!”
He knows that. He’s too spineless to state clearly he does not believe Israel has a right to exist.
Nothing could be more globalist than what he did here.
“ I support Israeli 100% in their right to exist”
That’s what this guy won’t say.
Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.The word “neocon” is a misnomer anyway. They’re all leftists, given Irving Kristol’s definition of “neoconservative” (“a liberal who has been mugged by reality”—note he does not state what reality he meant).

Oh? Being against the Jews having their homeland is not antisemitism? It’s the most antisemitic one can be. Saying one is “anti-Zionist” means one intends to go to war to expel the Jews from Israel.
By asking that the wasteful spending ends in this country he challenges the Globalists financial policy head on and its money and the economy of the USA that should be first not some money spending game outside this nation’s borders Ukraine being a prime example.
Mr. Massie also noting that most military aid to Israel is ‘money laundering” for the Military Industrial Complex Nikki Haley’s friends at Boeing.
Our politicians so far away from the Founders it ain’t even funny.
That has nothing to do with removal of the part concerning equating antisemitism with anti-Zionism.
Equating opposition to Zionism with Anti-Semitism is something enables prohibitions on speech in the name of banning Hate Speech.
Yeah, it looks like that's true. To heck with him.
Jews are not above criticism. Yes, we know that since we sane Jews criticize our leftist and dumbassed liberals all the time.
Massive doesn’t understand what Zionism meant as a movement back to one’s original country.
That is the difference.
Let Massie talk to those Jews who were denied asylum by FDR’s State Department and were later executed by the Nazis like my friend’s sister was when captured by the Nazis on a ship in Yugoslavia. She was trying to get to America or perhaps British Palestine.
My relatives were executed en masse in a sandpit in old Lemberg/Lvov. They never got out to any place. An Israel existing back then could have given them a home, not a mass burial (2500) in a hole in the ground.
This is what Massie doesn’t understand and never will.
No; that’s a globalist lie. Since Israel is the Jews’ homeland, being against them possessing their homeland is indeed antisemitism, and suppressing that fact is what is in opposition to free speech. Nobody proposes banning the false claims in opposition to that fact, as the globaliats falsely imply. Massie acted against free speech here.
