Democratic socialist politicians like Cori Bush and Rashida Tlaib are right about the violence in Israel and Palestine: we should both be mourning civilian deaths and calling for an end to the Israeli occupation.
Yeah, now that you mention it, it’s already happened with me, too. I’ll still make the assumptions if the news is associated with neo-nazis, but in any other context “antisemetism” needs more specifics before I can tell if it’s legit or if it’s just Israel (or their allies) trying to silence critics.
Like there was an article about a study just a few weeks back that said “antisemitism was rising among liberals”, but then you look into what it actually meant and it was really about liberals not supporting Israel. But even before I clicked it to have a look, I was looking to see how ridiculously they defined “antisemetic” rather than having any worry that hatred of Jewish people was on the rise with progressives.
