1/ So apparently my representative in Congress, Katherine Clark, thinks that I, a Jew who is also a citizen of Israel, am an antisemite. Can't really express how angry I am right now.
Specifically, I'm an antisemite If I point out that:
- Israel has a segregated school system that massively underfunds Arab citizens, by design.
- Jews can't marry non-Jews in Israel (I couldn't have married my now-wife there!).
- Israel has an apartheid system in the occupied territories.
@stephanie @gemelliz beyond shameful. Politicians should have to resign for outright lies.

2 BILLION DOLLARS
