WASHINGTON -- The Senate's highest-ranking Democrat applauded French
President Emmanuel Macron on Monday for his remarks over the weekend
equating anti-Zionism with antisemitism.
Speaking on the Senate floor, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York said that Macron was "absolutely right" to deny legitimacy to those who question the founding principles of the Jewish state.

"Antisemitism is a word that has been used throughout history when
Jewish people are judged and measured by one standard and the rest by
another," Schumer said. "When everyone else was allowed to farm and Jews
could not; when anyone else could live in Moscow and Jews could not;
when others could become academics or tradesmen and Jews could not. The
word to describe all of these acts is anti-Semitism."
