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.

Harvard’s damning new antisemitism report is 311-pages long. And it doesn’t even include insight into 8 of Harvard’s 12 graduate and professional schools. What did they omit? My latest — Image

There are things in this report that didn’t quite make sense. For starters, they date the BDS movement to 2005, but it’s typically dated to the Durban Conference in 2001.

Congress has invited 3 school districts to testify on antisemitism in K-12 schools today. It’s the same committee that’s heard testimony from university presidents. Currently streaming on YouTube.
Emerson Sykes of the ACLU is currently testifying about the First Amendment.

I’m unclear why the ACLU is here, except to possibly push back on evidence of left-wing antisemitism as protected speech.
Sykes is talking about teachers having their 1A rights outside of school. Fair. But in many cases, teachers are saying antisemitic things in class — where K-12 teachers, unlike professors, do not have a legal right to say whatever they want.

Shafik says she condemns antisemitism and is committed to confronting it.

Experience since 10/7 says otherwise. #Columbia
Shafik mentions Hamas — which an Israeli student told me she hadn’t on campus for a long time.
Shafik says she’s spent most of her time as president on these issues. So why have Jewish and Israeli students described being ignored by Shafik and other administrators?

That is correct. Colleges don’t care.
Jews and other Zionists have been stigmatized on college campuses and elsewhere. washingtonexaminer.com/politics/the-n…

Except it's not “extremely rude and disrespectful" to question an elected official's commitment to fighting antisemitism when they vote against a (largely symbolic) bill opposing antisemitism in a city where it's a big problem. forward.com/fast-forward/5…
"A council member who abstained accused Jewish community leaders of failing to call out hatred against Palestinians and supporting apartheid in Israel."
Ah, injecting antisemitism into a discussion about why it's important to oppose antisemitism.
“'In this city, how could anyone deny that antisemitism has become a real problem?' said Kalman Yeger."
The only people who could deny it are those who don't pay attention or think the bad news is actually a positive.
