Just listened to, and recorded, an amazingly fanatical speech from Bari Weiss in which she managed to accuse Tulsi Gabbard of abetting worldwide anti-semitism Will be making a podcast out of this (with a special guest) once I reach my initial Patreon goalhttps://www.patreon.com/mtracey

Bari roused a roaring condemnation of Omar from the well-to-do Upper East Side crowd she was addressing. She also suggested Omar was an ally of David Duke. Really. I’m not making this up

The speech was ostensibly on “how to fight anti-semitism,” which Bari argues is now a surging worldwide threat. She proudly and stridently declared that anti-Zionism is no different from anti-semitism and should be treated as an existential danger by all Jews

Maybe what’s most amazing is that Bari weaved all this into her standard critique of “identity politics,” despite emotionally and passionately proclaiming how centrally foundational her Jewish identity was to her political outlook. Like, she was literally on the verge of tears

She could not have been a more forceful proponent of the essential, eternal necessity of Jewish identity politics. If that’s your thing, fine. But then don’t turn around and pretend to be this big critic of everyone else’s “identity politics.” It’s totally incoherent

I'm not sure how
@EricRWeinstein is going to feel about this. He's not on one team or the other, so he will have to process all of this.4 replies 0 retweets 4 likes
I have not heard from Eric since our initial discussion. Still ready and willing to delve into the topic of the IDW and Israel.
