I'm getting a little tired of being lectured about which types of anti-Semitism I should focus on or care about.
I was a target of the alt-right. I've been attacked by the anti-Semitic left. I've had Jewish family killed by terrorists in the M E, Nazis, and Soviets.

Anti-Semites don’t prioritize left-wing or right-wing, they prioritize their hatred of Jews. I get that for some of you this is partisan, but that's not what this is about for many of us. We've seen what happens when anti-Semitism gets normalized, and we won't sit silently.
I spend time calling out anti-Semitism from Ilhan Omar, Jeremy Corbyn, Linda Sarsour etc. bc that is the only type of anti-Semitism that is still considered acceptable here.
No mainstream figures defend the alt-right idiots who send me oven pics, but plenty defend those people.

You can’t claim to be an ally against bigotry and anti-Semitism when you demand people ignore certain forms of it because calling them out is inconvenient to your political goals.
And that's exactly what far too many have been demanding recently.
