5. and it is the one common thread that some on the left and right share. When a candidate

refuses to label a fire bombing attack against a Jewish group as antisemitic, or not so subtly refuse to condemn the October 7 attack, and actually tried to justify it, that speaks volumes.

I notice a commonality by those who were critical with the Black Lives Matter movement, especially after the George Floyd killing, by saying it should be "All LIves Matter" instead.

It is no different than refusing to call blatant attacks against Jews as antisemitic, with fancy words such as "I don't know what was in the heart of the perpetrator(s)".

It is just an example of bigotry by removing identity of the victim(s) from the equation.
