But that's exactly the point - you remember something you don't like about a person (pro-Israel's self-determination in this case) and you assume racism or some similar -ism. That you don't even see the problem with that assumption is a problem with many on the left these days.
Why in the world would I dislike a family simply because they are or aren't Islamic? I know I've posted in other political threads that Islamophobia is bad because the overwhelming percentage of Muslims do not support terrorism. And I know I've been fairly negative about Trump since the beginning of his candidacy. Why doesn't that count, too, when you're preparing that knee-jerk response? You flat out accused me of being a racist - and you were so anxious to jump in with that nasty accusation that didn't even get the religion right.
