Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat, ripped Donald Trump for his military attack against Iran on Saturday, saying the move is "absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment."

Ocasio-Cortez ripped the president's action on X, formerly Twitter, and wrote, "The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers. He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment."

On the other hand, Senator John Fetterman, a Pennsylvania Democrat, came to Trump's side and wrote on X, "As I've long maintained, this was the correct move by @POTUS. Iran is the world's leading sponsor of terrorism and cannot have nuclear capabilities. I'm grateful for and salute the finest military in the world."

AIPAC is a group of American Jews that support Israel. So when you're rambling on about AIPAC conspiracy theories you're claiming both American Jews and Israeli Jews are evil puppet masters.

Antisemitism has in the past made subsets of Jews acceptable to hate. Look up the term Cosmopolitan Jew. Zionist Jew follows that pattern.

You're being told by many people on the internet that it's part of the Jewish conspiracy to accuse people of being antisemitic for criticizing Israel. I'm not Jewish, I've never been to Israel, I'm not being paid by anyone. I'm not a part of some conspiracy against you. Just someone who has learned how antisemitism worked in the past since I felt like I owed it to my grandfather who was damaged while fighting against some antisemitic assholes.

You're following a pattern that has happened before.

It's wrong to hate Jews because they are Jewish. That's antisemitism. But it's the right thing to do to unequivocally condemn the Israeli government and their enablers because of their right wing genocidal policies towards their neighbours. The pattern you are following is that of claiming Israel cannot be criticised without it being antisemitic, which is the same bullshit Netanyahu is trying to pull.

Better not to engage with these account. I think their Zionist nature, as many of them, like to change the facts, create new one, then accuse people of being antisemitic.

If you're criticizing actions of the Israeli government that's not antisemitism.

If you're promoting conspiracy theories about globalist Jews being the secret puppet masters of the government, that is antisemitism.
