Writing's a fight and this boy needs a battle
I agree with Dawn Foster in Jacobin that the “British media have turned the Labour Party’s alleged antisemitism problem into a national crusade. Meanwhile, leading Tories this week openly associated themselves with the Ku Klux Klan and the ideas of Anders Breivik — and the media shrugged”. It’s more than just a double standard, it’s an attempt to undermine any opposition.
Peter Beinart’s long read in The Guardian is a beautifully nuanced explanation, debunking the myth that anti-Zionism is antisemitic.
An illuminating insight into the way Anti-Zionism and Anti-Semitism are conflated. As Noam Chomsky says Anti-Zionism is “not a form of anti-semitism, it’s simply criticism of the criminal actions of a state (Israel), period”.
