"That is literally all I have been doing." I suppose it would be helpful if you could provide us with one example of a post where you protested the Left for tolerating a form of racism that's not anti-Semitism. "Sheldon Ranz thinks Tony Greenstein is anti-Semitic for using the prefix "Zio" which means "Zionist". No it does not mean Zionist. It means 'evil Jew' and it was first popularized by Klansman David Duke long before Tony Greenstein. Greenstein has been made aware of this. The fact that you can't even come to grips with that basic fact makes you the troll. "Sheldon's entire worldview about Zionism in that he attempts to make it compatible with liberalism and democracy." Israel's Declaration of Independence is compatible with liberalism and democracy. As for "Zionism"'s compatibility with those two, who the hells knows what you mean by Zionism? Needless to say, I can't speak for Jeff. Sheldon Ranz On Thu, Mar 29, 2018 at 1:28 PM, A.R.
