Antisemitism 'Wave' Is Only a Drip | ||
May 17, 2024 Dear Editor Nor is there a wave across the nation. If you look into it, the Anti-Defamation League, the establishment source of determining the levels of antisemitism in the U.S., tallies falsely phrases used for support of Palestinian independence as antisemitic. They are aimed at the Zionists settler colonizers, and Zionism in no way represents all Jews. It's just a belief system that happens to be predominant in Israel at this time. There are many, many Jews involved with the free Palestine movement. Many Jews have been arrested on campuses and across the country for this cause and any antisemitism is incidental in the movement, even at UCLA, where it's been written about recently in the LA Times.In my opinion, sweeping unproven generalizations like the one I mentioned above unnecessarily help deceive the reader. It might not have been your intent, but that's how I see it as playing out. Sincerely, Andrew Liberman |
