The total whitewashing and tone-policing here of even Jewish Dems' legit concerns about AES is why so many Jews and their allies feel unheard and politically alienated.

In my experience, many people do not know what the "blood libel" is, which is true of most antisemitic myths! But it leads to the term being colloquially misused. That's why I wrote this short piece in 2024 that explains the libel clearly and why it still matters today. Gift link:

Gloria Steinem was a fierce force for not just equality but dignity. Misogyny is the bedrock of every hate movement, and cynics turned "feminism" into a four-letter word, but she never wavered in her cause and commitment.
