A Democratic congressman called out his progressive colleagues for provoking anti- Semitism by referring to Israel as "a terrorist or apartheid state." The Democratic congressman said it was "time to stand up" and called on his progressive colleagues "to recognize what is at stake here." "But these are the signs and signals that are very disconcerting for the community and I feel an obligation to point that out and not condemn, but invite my progressive colleagues to help us," he added. The two-term congressman called out his progressive colleagues on social media for not showing the same amount of "vigor" in pushing back against anti-Semitic attacks as they do other "areas of activism." "Over the past several weeks a growing number of House Democrats wrongly blamed the violence in the Middle East on Israel," McCarthy told Fox News.
