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.
People see the (true) statement that antizionism is not antisemitism and take it to mean that they can say any old shit and it won't be antisemitic as long as it's antizionist.
I'm gonna be real, and this may expose my naivete, but I was shocked to see some of the shit people were saying.
it's not anti-Semitic. she has the same criticism of the Saudi lobby amongst others. she's against money in politics, not Jews, stop conflating the 2
It's not possible to think these two things because they are dissonant, inconsistent positions. Saying it's antisemitic to criticize Israel, an institution of borders, an entirely political project, is itself born from Islamophobia. Corporations are not people, Israel isn't a Jew
I think you can be against the Israeli state without being anti-Semitic, am I reading this correctly?
