"There is no debate possible when people think anti-Semitism is not only acceptable, but commendable." forward.com/opinion/433082…
"There is no debate possible when people think that your very humanity is up for debate."
"In 2019, no Jew should be forced to debate their humanity, their right to exist independent of anti-Semitism."
Read @bungarsargon, and please stop telling me that antisemitism doesn't exist on the left.

How bad is anti-Semitism in Europe? So bad that even with everything you've heard, 80% of anti-Semitic crimes aren't even being reported. bit.ly/2ZiZFeN
Why aren't those crimes being reported? Because as one person rhetorically asked @MichaelCJT, “Why would I report anti-Semitism to an anti-Semite?”
The Labour party -- formerly known as the UK's mainstream, center left party -- is currently being investigated for *institutional* anti-Semitism.

Yet ANOTHER Title VI complaint has been lodged by a Jewish student alleging anti-Semitism due to anti-Israel/anti-Zionist speech. One more example of why adopting the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism is a problem for free speech on campus.

standwithus.com/ucla-titlevi-c…
You can read the complaint here. A UCLA student says that she was verbally attacked in class by a guest lecturer for her Zionism, which she insists is a core component of her Jewish identity. To attack Zionism, she argues, is inherently anti-Semitic.

standwithus.com/ucla-titlevi-c…
This is the flip side of what Batya Ungar-Sargon says she experienced at Bard last week. As much as Ungar-Sargon insists (correctly) that being Jewish does not necessitate being a Zionist, many supporters of Israel insist otherwise. And it's infuriating.

New post: "Nancy Pelosi's disgusting excuses for Ilhan Omar have thrown Jews under the bus" washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/nancy-…
Pelosi is using the excuse that Omar didn't realize the effect of her words. Bullshit.Omar has had multiple interventions dating back to last year explaining anti-Semitic stereotypes to her, and she keeps uttering them. washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/nancy-…
Pelosi, also insultingly, claims that Omar's anti-Semitism is due to her "enthusiasm" as an activist transitioning to being a member of Congress washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/nancy-…

New post: "New York Times whitewashes anti-Semitism of incoming House Democrat Ilhan Omar" washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/new-yo…
NYT profile on Ilhan Omar is an attempt to lump critics of her anti-Semitism along with the racists and conspiracy mongers who "fear" somebody different so as to delegitimize opposition washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/new-yo…
NYT sandwiches a reference to Jewish leaders' criticism of her BDS position in between a reference to a pastor's opposition to her hijab and a conspiracy theory abt her being part of a secret plot so as to conflate them washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/new-yo…

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.

New post: "Making Pittsburgh shooting about Trump diminishes problem of anti-Semitism" washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/making…
By all means, criticize Trump's rhetoric, as I have been doing for years. But by narrowly seeing anti-Semitism through the lens of Trump, it conveys the idea that once he's gone, we can go back to ignoring the problem. washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/making…
I mostly kept myself away from Twitter this weekend, but as somebody who has written about festering anti-Semitism for years, I find it frustrating that some only care about the issue if they can weaponize it against Trump washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/making…

Anti-Defamation League: In a speech Sunday, notorious anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan claimed that Jews control the government and FBI, and use marijuana to feminize black men—with one @womensmarch organizer in attendance and another applauding from afar. adl.org/blog/farrakhan…
There is a persistent unwillingness to acknowledge that two of the organizers of the @womensmarch are groupies of Louis Farrakhan, whose anti-Semitism and homophobia rivals Richard Spencer's. They're very open about it!
For reference, here is just a small sampling of the horrific things Farrakhan has said about Jews:
