    being framed as an anti-semite

    It’s funny, my parents watch the PBS News Hour religiously. One night last year they ran a piece about how Israel was trying (and succeeding) to frame all criticism of Israel’s actions as “anti-semitism”. My parents were of course all “oh that’s terrible what Israel is doing!” The very next night they ran a piece about how anti-semitism in the US was on the rise. My parents were of course all “oh that’s terrible that anti-semitism is on the rise!” without making any connection at all between the two stories.
