Wrt Kamala query of Shapiro if he is Israel agent:
1. Prosecutors don't ask Qs that they don't know the answer to (hint: she's a prosecutor).
2. He didn't say "no." He said it was "ridiculous."
3. She walked into the meet uncomfortable.
She had to meet with him to avoid 'anti-semitism' charges.

The origin of Shapiro’s umbrage is, I suspect, this. Now, he has a perfect right to feel however he feels. But that second definition of anti-Semitism is not universally shared, and certain recent Israeli government actions have thrown it into serious disrepute with younger American particularly.

The Israeli government itself is adamant that the latter must at least be a component of how anti-Semitism is defined (no doubt it cares deeply about the former. It’s just pretty quiet about it). Some Americans believe it too. But many others don’t, viewing Israel as just another country.

A cagey reference in @isaacdovere.bsky.social’s reporting to “blurred lines” in defining anti-Semitism hints at what I suspect is the real problem here. Is anti-Semitism prejudice, aggression against or abuse of Jews? Or is it criticism of the Israeli government (or the Israeli PM personally)?

Anti-semitism is real
It can also be used as a cudgel
Racism is also real
Islamophobia is also real
The genocide in Gaza is also real

the thing about charges being thrown baselessly for decades (and conflating criticism of Israel with de facto anti-semitism) is that when the AEI and Greenblatt/ADL fail to call out Trump and literally mansplain Elon Musk's heil Hitler salutes, these accusations have lost all meaning and efficacy
Obviously candidates’ positions on Palestine and Israel are fair game for vetting. But if Harris only asked this question of the sole Jewish person they considered for VP, even though all their VP choices were pro-Israel, that is antisemitic. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/18/u...

Lmao called it.
My next prediction:
Josh Shapiro is going to claim it was anti-semitism that he failed miserably in his presidential campaign (he only has one move) & start working directly for either the Israeli government or one of the Israeli propaganda orgs operating in the US like the ADL

The Australian Parliament is set to pass anti-Semitism legislation after Opposition Leader Susan Lee agreed to a deal, with families of the Bondi terror attack present during proceedings. A separate gun control bill is expected to pass with Greens support, while Queensland has withdrawn from a national gun buyback scheme, joining the Northern Territory and Tasmania in opposing the joint funding arrangement.

Shapiro was asked if he was an "agent" of a foreign country. That's textbook anti-Semitism.
We all recognized it when Cuomo tried to do a similar smear with Mamdani.

The proper solution by the Democrat party would be to demolish the institutions supporting Trump.
Punish universities that gave in to “anti-semitism” pressure.
Deny airtime and support to complicit media.
Cut the military down significantly.
Wealth tax on the billionaires.
We’ll see none of that.
