The US-Israel relationship is finally facing a reckoning. It doesn’t need to slide into antisemitism

Too many Jewish organizations, such as the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and American Jewish Committee (AJC) have suggested that this is the time to get behind the war effort and not to ask questions. But to say that Americans should not ask questions about the relationship between Israel and the #US because it might raise #antisemitic conspiracy theories means handing over the tools of democratic accountability. That is too high a price.

The questions are not being asked only by foreign policy analysts. They are being asked, in far cruder form, by people who have never needed a pretext to believe that Jewish power secretly governs American foreign policy.
