Wake me up when Biden criticizes *any* example of leftist antisemitism.

It’s not like Biden would have to look too hard. The examples of leftist antisemitism are pretty non-stop — on college campuses, among activists, and even among members of Congress.

But if Biden can never find a single, solitary person or organization to criticize among radical lefties, he’s proving that he will never call out antisemitism on his own political side.

Blasting the far-right for antisemitism is a gimme, especially if you’re liberal. Real courage would mean Biden’s staring down those to his left. Biden hasn’t, and I don’t believe he will.

In healthy societies, antisemitism is a fringey, wackadoodle belief. In unhealthy societies, antisemitism goes mainstream, and soon enough, everybody suffers — not only Jews.
