In light of the judge quashing the antisemitism case against Reginald D Hunter and police dropping the case against Bob Vylan, as well as the PA situation, I am re-posting my @opendemocracy.net article on the conflation of anti-zionism and antisemitism.

OPINION: The far right is exploiting fears of antisemitism
Antisemitism and other racisms are on the rise. A focus on pro-Palestine activism undermines the fight against these

It may pain him to hear it, but the social justice movements he wrote a book railing against were designed to protect against the very kinds of bigotry he belated realizes might be bad (again, because they are now coming for him and his people).

The woke social justice warriors were correct.

Bari Weiss has, obviously, been working assiduously over the years to meet this moment in exactly the way she did last night with the #60Minutes debacle. Shame on every idiot, useful and not, who tried to push this obvious charlatan as some free speech warrior on those of us who always knew.
