The difference between Antizionism and antisemitism is mostly an academic one. Irl it’s a get-out-of-jail-free card for progressives who want to justify something anyone would plainly understand as antisemitic.
Just the fact that you would suggest “globalize the intifada” means “globalize the non-violent struggle for Palestinian liberation” in any possible case makes me extremely dismissive of much else that you have to say. No self-respecting Palestinian in Gaza or the West Bank (or London or New York) would EVER agree with your interpretation, except in English to gullible westerners.
Thank you for this thoughtful reflection I have always found it wise when people talk about racism, homophobia, and Jew-hatred to defer to those who are actually experiencing them. I have no way of knowing what it is to experience Jew hatred and how that ties into Israel and Zionism.
I do know that Netanyahu is politically dependent on the extreme religious right in Israel who make no bones about their desire for the elimination of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, utterly reject the two state solution and do speak in terms of what is effectively ethnic cleansing.
The moral thing for Netanyahu to do (assuming his will to power can be curbed) would be to reject this extremist support. It means that other coalitions of Israelis would form a different government that might have reasonable policies that might lead to peace. That is not to say that the Palestinians will match that ambition in good faith but it might be worth a try.
Otherwise thank you, again, for giving me some incite into your experience and perspective on the awful and irrational reality of Jew hatred as it is being manifested today.
Thank you for a thoughtful, nuanced, and eloquent take on the thorny issue of antisemitism on the left. Nearly every day I find myself trying to reason with people on both sides: those who conflate anti-Zionism with antisemitism under all circumstances, and those who refuse to recognize that while the two are not synonymous, there is often some overlap (sometimes considerable overlap). It’s hard to maintain a non-binary perspective in a world that insists we go all in on one camp or another. I appreciate thinking like yours that addresses and wrestles with the complexities, and I regard you as a much-needed voice of moral clarity. Todah!
Thank you for this thoughtful piece. It needed to be said. I’m sick and tired of dumbfucks on the left who either can’t or won’t deal with this. That being said, the weaponisation of anti semitism in the cause of support for Israel’s inexcusable conduct also fills me with fury.
2500 years of Christian persecution and still at it - But the only remnants of the ghettos exist where jews (those outside Israel) allow themselves to cower in fear instead of kicking these bullies asses - Never Again is the only way - The Israeli way!
2500 years, eh? Perhaps remedial math would benefit you?
Tell us the WHY of this "Christian persecution." You can start with "Yeshu" being said to be punished "in Hell" with "boiling hot excrement." You can then go on to what Dhu Nuwas and others did.
It is absolutely not "clearly false" that anti-Zionism is antisemitic. What's more accurate is to say that most people who adopt the identity "anti-Zionist" are confused about what that entails and whether it applies to them.
People know who they hate snd who they wish dead. Anti Israel is a polite politically correct cover for dangerous Jew hatred. The knowing blindness. Passivity, and hyper partisan/liberalness of most Jews won’t save us. Trying to reason with modern era Nazis, and parse and rationalize their hate won’t keep us safe. Seeing all these well meaning, non religious elitist/liberal Jews hide, excuse, or rationalize overwhelmingly left/progressive/democrat Jew hatred as a simple honest disagreement with war policy from our indigenous homeland is not just foolish pathology but deadly, We are in danger
Secular Jewish academics were instrumental in formulating critical studies as a golem to protect them against antisemitism by delegitimizing the established norms (nation, tradition, hierarchy, religion, etcetera) which have been historically used as a basis to persecute them. This golem, as the medieval parable warned, wound up turning against them as a contemporary intersectional framework applied to the Israel/Palestine conflict frames the Jews as the "oppressors" which legitimized any action taken against them.
Progressives, now, have become critics of Israel, and some have exhibited antisemitism, because of Israel's persistence in fighting in Gaza after a devastating campaign in Gaza following the October 7th, 2023 Hamas surprise killing attack against southern Israel. Your comprehensive article fails to comment on the underlying moral and ethical principles upon which the Israelis base their continued fighting. The answer lies within the Hamas Charter of 1988 (which was not repudiated in its 2017 revision), in which Hamas advocated its intent to seek out and kill Jews. In addition, it's pertinent to understand the admonishment of Jews not to kill, except when attacked and facing death at the hands of others. In that instance, even when responding to such a threat, the Jews are obliged to provide their enemy an escape route. Finally, Israel has always left open the "escape route" of a Hamas surrender with an accompanying release of all hostages. It is noteworthy that Hamas' attack was against men, women, children, young and old included. Hamas was under no instructions to spare "innocent Jews". In the Torah, the Jews' response similarly did not distinguish between enemy persons on the basis of age, sex or any other criterion. So , it is on the basis of these facts that one can conclude that the conflict in Gaza might not end until there is a surrender of Hamas or Israel and all hostages are exchanged.
It would have been useful to provide these facts to enable one to understand how Israel could persist in their effort to find and kill Hamas members.
I appreciate what you have written and your attempt to define antisemitism and zionism or perhaps more accurately remind readers of earlier meanings. While I appreciate, however, I cannot entirely agree. You remark how statements regarding The Israeli Lobby rise to the level of conspiratorial antisemitism. I am reminded of John Mearsheimer and Steven M. Walts seminal "The Israeli Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy" published in 2007. In it, two of the most respected foreign policy and international relations experts of their generation methodically and precisely lay out in scholarly fashion the influence of the Israeli Lobby in U.S. politics. Their arguments were neither conspiratorial nor antisemitic but a careful analysis of real data. Like any publication, their conclusions are certainly up for debate but in no way was the work antisemitic nor they individually antisemites. And yet. Both men received tremendous backlash and were labeled by many as antisemitic. It was only their high stature in their fields and tenured position that saved their careers. Except that 20 years later much of what they wrote has not only proven true but forced out into the open. When there can be no debate, when anything critical of Israel becomes antisemitic, when reality can't be discussed for fear of professional ruin, fuel is only added to the conspiracists, rascist and their ilk. Lastly I'll mention zionism itself which you describe as the rather banal Jewish self determinism. Only this isn't what the founders of zionism describe it as. From its inception zionism was an ethnonational movement. It was born in the roaring furnace of the late 19th century where ethnonationalist ideologies were forged. Theodore Herzl wrote extensively in support of this idea and championed the colonization of Palestine from the outset. Zionism is a product of its time, where nationalism permeated all corners of political thought and where ethnic identity was tantamount to national identity. In an era of empire and colonizers, the idea of one people infiltrating and taking the lands of another was not just de rigueur but non controversial. Zionism is an archaic survivor of an era that brought the worst tragedy to both the Jewish people and the human race. It has no place in a rational, pluralist, liberal society. And even if many Jewish people believe in your soft definition of zionism, it has never been practiced as such. And thus we have the final disconnect. The state of Israel itself has spent a great deal of time and effort conflating Jewish identity and Israeli identity. Netanyahu himself has publicly proclaimed as much in speeches and interviews. It goes far beyond that. Even in its earliest days Israel went to great lengths to drive this home. Efforts by organizations like Cadima, the Mossad backed zionist group pressuring jews to leave Morroco where they had been settled for 2000 years! Israel has taken on the role of speaking for all Jews. Whether this is true or not is no longer relevant as Jews outside of Israel do not push back against this. What we are seeing in Israel now is the endgame of ethnonationalism. It is following the same pattern of every ethno state before it. Its my great hope that all zionists banal or otherwise can recognize what this archaic ideology has done to a storied, proud and wonderful people and reject it before it consumes them.
The ultimate end of super assimilation is self-hatred: I’m one of the good ones! I hate Israel/religious Jews/etc too! It won’t save you from their hate and worse by blindly agreeing w them and begging for their acceptance as they spit on you, beat you, terrorize you in your “no more kings” fashion shirt
"They do not define it as requiring that Palestinian society be eradicated, hospitals in Gaza bombed, or settler thugs allowed to conduct pogroms in the West Bank. Of course, it is the official policy of the current Israeli government to do all of these."
So - Your one sided (completely erroneous) take/editorial on current Israeli politics - Is astonishing!
Israel has never started a war but has been existentially besieged by it's Arab neighbors since it's begiinning! - The only Democracy in the Middle East fighting for it's security based on nothing but Jew hatred!
Netanyahu is way to authoritarian but obeys the Israel Constitution and Supreme Court to the letter!
He knows security is everything and there is , not even remotely, any secure partner for peace from it's next door neighbors!
In October 2,700 innocent men women and children were butcherd like animals and their neighbors danced in the streets!
Think what trump's America would do in response to a terrorist attack of similar circumstances - The world trade tower response was like NOTHING compared to such an event in a country with 382 million vs Israels 9.7 million.
"They do not define it as requiring that Palestinian society be eradicated, hospitals in Gaza bombed, or settler thugs allowed to conduct pogroms in the West Bank. Of course, it is the official policy of the current Israeli government to do all of these. But to many American Jews that is the result of the Netanyahu regime, not “Zionism” itself."
The record shows that that has been the official policy of Zionism, even before the creation of Israel. American Jews are mostly responsible for the creation of Israel and supported its oppressive policies until recently. Unfair to the present generation, they are intimately identified with the development of genocidal Israel.
If you have nothing to say, use an insulting worn out cliche.
The help we need is from people like you, whose undying support for apartheid Israel has caused mass hatred of Jews and placed innocent Jews in jeopardy. Israel and its supporters are responsible for the genocide of the Palestinian people and attacks on the Jewish people.
Ah! The deadly refrain that the Jews are causing their own abuse and hatred!
It is like some elitist pre World War Two German Jews surprised as they are forced to join the death trains, shouting “We are we are the good ones! We hate Israel/thejews/bibi too!” Hyper partisan self righteous blindness. Your ahistorical, deliberate misuse of the horrifying words genocide and apartheid is abusive and demeans the actual unprecedented terror and horror and suffering horrors of the Jews
i don't need disparaging remarks from you, who uses the deaths of my close relatives who were killed in the camps of World War II, to play victim and lecture me. I did I not write that Jews were "causing their own abuse and hatred." I wrote that "Israel and its supporters are responsible." We Jews had great lives in America until people like you came along.
That’s funny! “Came along” My family is one of the oldest American Jewish families and you obviously know nothing about how we were forced to survive and adapt here. Scratch an Israel/Bibi/IDF hater and you will find a Nazi or a blind, self-hating Kapo. We are in great danger and primarily from those who hate us the most-demonstrably from the Liberal/Left/Democrat/Progressive side. As my teen patients say: Own it, boomer
Good for yourancestors, what does it have to do with anything? All immigrants, including my parents, have to work hard to adapt everywhere, including the Mizrahim in Israel. Be glad you are Jewish and not Oriental, Black, Native American, Latino, Irish or Catholic, and that you belong to the best educated, healthiest, and wealthiest contingent in America. Keep up this diatribe and show others the ignorance and danger of Israel's supporters.
Considering the Left truly enjoys cozying up to Muslim and Islamic organizations and politics, which have ABSOLUTELY NO PLACE in Western society, is it any wonder that Jews are distressed by Antisemitism?
As someone who has studied Islam DECADES before it became politicized and weaponized, a more disturbing popular world religion does not exist.
The top 20 terrorist organizations recognized by the CIA and the top 20 terrorists recognized by the FBI are ALL ISLAMIC. Just a co-incidence, right? Maybe we need a study to prove whether they're all terrorists or not?
But let's keep banging the drum of suicidal empathy and "diversity is our strength" as all the while, diversity continues to fracture and weaken the West and it's alliances.
At this point the Left is utterly clueless to the damage they are wreaking on Western society. Is it any wonder that there are protests in every country of the world to stop it and their catastrophic Globalist agenda?
Jews have successfully lived peacefully and prosperously in hundreds of societies across history. How did they do so? They followed that "anti-Semite," Jesus Christ's teaching, "love thy neighbor as they self." "Anti-Semitism" does not occur "for no reason."
The overwhelming problem for Jews today was and remains "Israel," which looks a lot like Nazi Germany in so many ways to Gentiles and many Jews alike.
Are you implying that because "Israel" has beautiful places and advanced urban areas it "can't be Nazi"? That's amusing, when you compare the color photography of the Third Reich's society. A "very orderly society," in both cases.
What a ridiculous comment. I’m implying nothing; I’m stating as a categorical fact that anyone who has ever been to Israel would realize that as a society it looks nothing like Nazi Germany. The only people who believe that are consumers of propaganda or people with an ideological axe to grind
Tell me, what DID the Third Reich "look like"? Do you think there was an Auschwitz on the corner of the intersection, and a Dachau on the other? No, it looked a lot like any other advanced society to the vast majority. Except for the militarism and ethnic supremacy underlying its "public policy."
The difference between Antizionism and antisemitism is mostly an academic one. Irl it’s a get-out-of-jail-free card for progressives who want to justify something anyone would plainly understand as antisemitic.

Cool story bro but the Yeshu in the Talmud rebelled against a king 100 years before Jesus was born. It’s a common name
And yet, Peter Schäfer has demonstrated in his work, Jesus in the Talmud, that Jesus of Nazareth is exactly who "Yeshu" is intended to be.
you need some serious mental assistance -lol
I accept your UNCONDITIONAL surrender.
Pro-Tip: when you disagree with someone's assertions, SHOW how they are "wrong," if applicable.

I agree with general gist of that, so I'm not sure what part of what I said you felt was naive.
They are not confused. They are irrationally hateful like Nazis
Those people sound like actual anti-Zionists, which was clearly not the cohort I was talking about.
