" Ethnic Jews " were prominent in the Communist Party USA during the Depression and during the McCarthy era.
There is nothing anti-Semitic about stating FACTS .
The tragedy is that many Jewish intellectuals began to betray " socialist internationalism " for reactionary Zionism . From Stalinism to Zionism is nothing to sing about . Read the political biography of prominent neo-con, ex-communist David Horowitz .
Democratic socialists like the late Professor Howard Zinn , author of " The People's History of the United States ", would defend me . A still living " controversial " Professor Finkelstein - an outspoken anti-Zionist - would do the same.
But the mainstream news media is pickled ( Kosher ? ) with views of the Greater Israel Lobby : " ANTI-ZIONISM = ANTI-SEMITISM " - end of discussion .
