Her messages challenging the candidates&#8217; support for <a href=\"\/topics\/israel\/\">Israel<\/a> were offensive, ugly, spiteful and borderline anti-Semitic.  Her tweets give fodder to those who buy into the anti-Semitic notions that Jews &#8216;control&#8217; the U.S. government, wield disproportionate power in politics, and are more loyal to <a href=\"\/topics\/israel\/\">Israel<\/a> than to their own country.
