Decades of 24/7 African American support wasn’t sufficient for many Jewish organizations and leaders. Now, to be authentic, if you are a Black leader, your support in the Black-Jewish coalition is only “acceptable” if you also support the actions of Israel, right or wrong. Criticism of Israel the state is tantamount to promoting antisemitism. This is a false equivalency at best. I would suggest that loyalty to the country and the preservation and protection of religion are apples and oranges. Regrettably, they seem to be saying to us, “We no longer are prepared to fight racism in America without your public support for the state of Israel against its war with Hamas.” By Clarence B.
