General Discussion

As seen in this thread.

People get comfortable with contradictions when they're ok with both.

You state that you've lived and worked in east Dearborn, MI where the Arab population is dominant and you report "The hatred of Jews is astonishing."

I'm inclined to believe you, anonymous poster on the internet, because a lot of people in Dearborn have made no secret of their hatred of Jews. This is where the group that bragged they'd hand the election to Trump lives. "We want you to know it was us." I believed them, too.

Yet, I see most Democrats heatedly denying that any Democrat could ever feel that way. Meanwhile, many of those deniers keep saying things that sound like hatred of Jews to me.

I think it's pretty deeply embedded now. A fair number of Democrats are fine with hatred of Jews. They either openly proclaim it or bluster and deny but shrug when they see it and sooner or later they'll say something like "Well, isn't it true that Jews have a lot of power.."

Or they'll just screech "AIPAC!!"
