The top 1% of earners pay almost 35% of income taxes
The top 10% pay almost 70% of the taxes. The bottom 50% pay 2%.
Fair to whom exactly?

Criticizing Israel does not make one an antisemite.
However.
ONLY criticizing Israel, over and over like it's your single purpose in life, and NEVER mentioning any of the bad things so many other nations routinely engage in does, in fact, make you an antisemite.
If that's you, deal with it.

Karl Popper argued that groups preaching intolerance are not interested in rational debate. They forbid their followers from listening to rational arguments and teach them to respond with force. By tolerating this, a society risks destruction of tolerance for everyone.
We are at that point.
