Here's the Left of Lansing "Friday Short" for March 13, 2026.

Pat Johnston uses a column by Nolan Finley of The Detroit News to highlight how Pro-Iran War and Pro-Extremist Israeli government types are using the recent synagogue attack in West Bloomfield, MI to try to shut-down dissenting voices.

Those supporting the Israeli-U.S. War on Iran argue that those opposing Israel's right-wing genocidal government, and also the War on Iran, are responsible for antisemitism, including the antisemitic attack on that West Bloomfield synagogue by a U.S. citizen who was originally from Lebanon.

But as Pat argues, criticizing the corrupt and genocidal right-wing Israeli government is not antisemitism.

It's the right thing to do because it's standing-up for the American working class that's tired of funding overseas wars.
