many leftists to take antisemitism seriously as an independent force, woven into the fabric of our world, cannot be blamed solely on Zionism; it is often evidence of pure callousness, and of some funky, half-baked ideas about Jewish power. In other words, of antisemitism.

‘Antisemitism isn’t systemic’ is the Left’s version of ‘the world’s oldest hatred’. An easy slogan that is in fact a sign of impoverished thought, a stubborn unwillingness to think critically & rigorously. One hyperbolizes, the other minimizes;

The context of *this* wave of visceral rage at rapists is that in the past decade we've seen them take complete control of the government, turn the entire economy into their ponzi scheme, gain trillions of dollars of exploited wealth. We've seen an opposition party abjectly fail at stopping them
