It doesn't help that a lot of US leftists talk about AIPAC controlling US foreign policy, which is the *same* shit I hear from Nazis, instead of talking about how the US' imperial foreign policy dovetails with the Israeli right. And yes, the former is an antisemitic analysis.
And yes, that will be weaponized by the right against the left if we continue to ignore antisemitism in our ranks. It already has been, in the case of Ilhan Omar.
It is possible to think that yes, talking about Israeli lobbying interests controlling US foreign policy is antisemitic *and* that we should not let the right turn that into a vicious Islamophobic weapon. But that starts with leftists actually confronting left antisemitism.
oh, look, it's one of the fucking Chapo guys whining that he can't casually engage in casual antisemitism without getting called an antisemitehttps://twitter.com/beccalew/status/1205384645409304576 …
This is *exactly* what I'm talking about. When our Jewish comrades complain about left antisemitism, we need to listen to them and confront that hatred. Not only does it alienate good comrades, but it leaves us open to an attack from the right, like we just saw in Britain.
Hey dude, I respected you a lot and I cannot believe you just threw Ilhan Omar under the bus. This is not what comrades do. You're legitimizing far right smears now.
I feel like I've taken some bad drugs right now. This take from Gordon is fucking ridiculous.
What "anti-Semitism in our ranks"? Please cite specific examples if you're going to make a claim like this because it's politically damaging to the left when you vaguely advance the idea the left is rife with anti-Semitism. Justify that with examples or don't say it
Just to be clear are you calling her an Anti Semite? If so pls provide some examples.
No, I think she was the victim of an Islamophobic smear campaign. But I also think that spreading an antisemitic analysis like "Israel controls US foreign policy with lobbying money" (not at all unique to her) by tweeting "It's all about the benjamins" was a mistake.
