Talk:Conservative of the Year 2023 (view source)
Revision as of 02:53, January 2, 2024
, 02:53, January 2, 2024Re: Thomas Massie
:::::::Geopolitician, thanks for your links, where Massie does say that "Antisemitism is deplorable, but expanding it to include criticism of Israel is not helpful." Your other link is to a cartoon posted by Massie that I frankly do not understand. Massie's vote was against foreign aid to Israel, which I think he generally opposes. Massie is a courageous conservative and was honored here with [[Conservative of the Year 2022]]. I think saying that he is anti-Zionist would go further than what he's said himself. Thanks for your insights.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] ([[User talk:Aschlafly|talk]]) 01:21, January 1, 2024 (EST)

::::::::The second link is a meme which essentially states that Congress stands for Zionism rather than American patriotism. Many people (both Zionist and anti-Zionist) see this meme as saying that Congress is "Israel first", or even saying that support for Israel is inherently anti-American. Both ideas are commonplace in anti-Zionist circles, which is why Massie is now being accused of being an anti-Zionist.--[[User:Geopolitician|Geopolitician]] ([[User talk:Geopolitician|talk]]) 21:45, January 1, 2024 (EST)

::::::::On a related note, I myself no longer support Israel and even agree with some (but not all) anti-Zionist talking points. And I think it's high time that others here gain the courage to see Israel for what it's become under the leadership of Benjamin Netanyahu. Only once he and Likud are out of power should we even consider supporting Israel again.--[[User:Geopolitician|Geopolitician]] ([[User talk:Geopolitician|talk]]) 21:53, January 1, 2024 (EST)
