The left must stop delegitimizing Netanyahu, and his wife

David Weinberg wrote at the Jerusalem Post that the leftists must cease their long tiresome campaigns to delegitimize Benjamin Netanyahu, and even his wife Sara:
Almost 20 years ago, Natan Sharansky developed the “3D” test to distinguish legitimate criticism of Israel from antisemitism. Reproach of Israel crosses the line into dark antisemitism, he explained, when it devolves into demonization, delegitimization and double standards against Israel.You know, whenever leftists compare a politician they disagree with to Islamofascists, that's a most peculiar double-standard, considering how pro-Islam they actually are. Indeed, what do they expect to gain from momentarily abandoning their pro-Islam positions just so they can smear an opponent who may not share their view?
Similarly, I sense that reasonable disagreements with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are dangerously degenerating into demonization, delegitimization and double standards applied against him. With Netanyahu just reelected for a fifth time, fair and square, such brutish attacks must stop, or else Israel itself will be roundly delegitimized.
In the recent election campaign, opposition leaders and left-wing journalists regularly compared Netanyahu to dictators like Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey, Nicolae Ceausescu of Romania and Benito Mussolini of Italy – parallels that are outrageously false and defamatory in the extreme. The hideous comparisons were extended to the entire Likud Party, as if all Likud members and voters bow down obsequiously in blind obedience to Netanyahu.
The demonizing and double standards against Netanyahu continue in so many other ways. It begins with accusing him of divisive rhetoric, which when coming from Gantz & gang is akin to the pot calling the kettle black. It continues with criticism of Netanyahu for hosting right-wing European leaders like Prime Minister Victor Orban of Hungary, or for courting the fabulously pro-Israel US President Donald Trump.As the article also notes, his wife Sara's also suffered from much of this demonization. And it has to cease. It only damages society, and makes the left look absolutely bad. In the end, it will hurt the left very seriously.
But when Rabin courted a known terrorist enemy like Yasser Arafat, it was deemed understandable and unimpeachable. And when Rabin vituperatively belittled opponents of Oslo as “propellers,” “crybabies” and “cancers,” and said that settlers were expendable to the point “where even Saddam Hussein wouldn’t waste a Scud missile on them” – it was somehow acceptable and statesmanlike.
Moreover, unlike Rabin or Ariel Sharon, Netanyahu hasn’t misled his voters. He hasn’t gotten elected on one political platform but then turned 180 degrees in the other direction and launched a totally different policy. With Netanyahu, what you see is what you get. He has been consistent and honest with Israeli voters on defense and diplomatic matters.

Keith Ellison, an anti-Israel Muslim,
became Deputy Chair of the Democratic
National Committee by a UNANIMOUS
VOICE VOTE of DNC members, according to Wikipedia.
==================================
“…leading members of the Democratic Party
like Keith Ellison and luminaries like
Linda Sarsour openly espouse anti-Jewish
sentiments and propagate anti-Semitic
conspiracy theories, Democrats ignore,
whitewash, deny and minimize the
significance of the swelling chorus
of anti-Semitism within their ranks.”

“Rising stars in the Democratic Party,
including Rep. Ellison and Women’s March
leaders Tamika Mallory and Linda Sarsour
along with the Congressional Black Caucus
embrace Louis Farrakhan, and defend
his notorious, virulent hatred of Jews.
They demonize Israel and its Jewish supporters.”

What Do Democrats Want?

“But when Trump recognized deceased
Navy Seal William "Ryan" Owens, who
lost his life fighting for his country,
the audience gave his widow, Carryn Owens,
a two-minute standing ovation.
That is, all except for some of the
Democrats, who refused to stand or applaud.
These included disgraced former DNC chair
Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, and incoming
deputy chair Keith Ellison.”

QUESTION:
Why does the Democratic Party love immigrants?
ANSWER:
The reason why the USA’s Democratic Party
favors immigrants, even illegal immigrants,
is because they believe that immigrants
will vote for the Democratic Party.
If the leaders of the Democratic Party
believed that immigrants would vote for
the Republican Party, then they would
do everything possible to prevent
immigrants from entering the USA,
even legal immigrants.

A person who hates blacks is a racist.
A person who hates Jews is an anti-Semite.
A person who hates America is a Democrat.
