Please do not tell Jews what antisemitism is
Pro-Hamas activists insist that their cause is not antisemitic. Rather it is “anti-Zionist,” “anti-colonialist” and a fight for “human rights.” Certain people, the activists say — three guesses which people — “weaponize” the charge of antisemitism in order to “silence” the activists’ concerns. It is thus the prerogative of those who justify the murder of Jews to tell the rest of us what antisemitism is.
