“The resolution suggests that all anti-Zionism—it states—is antisemitism. That’s either intellectually disingenuous or just factually wrong,” said New York Representative Jerry Nadler, who voted present. “The authors if they were at all familiar with Jewish history & culture should know about Jewish anti-Zionism that was and is expressly not antisemitic. This resolution ignores the fact that even today, certain Orthodox Hasidic Jewish communities … have held views that are at odds with the modern Zionist conception.”

    Checked the vote roster and only 13 democrats voted nay, while 92 voted present which is dissapointing.

      They are putting on a show of being opposed while not doing everything in their power to oppose it. It’s similar energy to when Justin Trudeau joined a BLM protest instead of using his position as prime minister of Canada to take a real stand against police brutality.
