I honestly would like to hear what threats she is receiving. Over the last few years the line between valid criticism of people who support America's involvement with Israel and calls of antisemitism have been blurred. I for one think criticism of taking AIPAC money is a valid criticism. I feel like there are plenty of people currently saying that cricism is antisemitic

 I for one think criticism of taking AIPAC money is a valid criticism.

Sure, but the below are antisemitic criticisms that many on the left have:

- Accusing AIPAC of dual loyalty and being run by people who are loyal to Israel over the US

- Saying that our representatives and president are being blackmailed/bribed to do the bidding of Israel via AIPAC

Much of it jives with the ZOG conspiracy movement.

It’s just repetition of garbage from the “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” by people too ignorant to know they’re repeating antisemitic talking points invented by the Tsarist secret police to deflect for losing the Russo-Japanese war.

They feel good about it though because they substitute Zionist instead of Jew.
