@sarahtweets8t @NomoreBDS @JasonJPaul @30Crowned @marclamonthill @ian_pudding @YoniMichanie Basically, true. Except @marclamonthill is not "anti-Israel", as in: critical of this or that policy. He goes far beyond mere criticism when:

1. He openly calls for taking away from Jews their sovereigny and freedom as in "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" /1

@sarahtweets8t @NomoreBDS @JasonJPaul @30Crowned @marclamonthill @ian_pudding @YoniMichanie 2. He decides to recategorize certain Jewish ethnicities in ways that are strange, a-historical and flatly rejected by the very Jews he seeks to disappear into some other identity that better serves whatever theories he has about Jews. /2

@sarahtweets8t @NomoreBDS @JasonJPaul @30Crowned @marclamonthill @ian_pudding @YoniMichanie It's textbook antisemitism: 1. remove rights from Jews 2. categorize Jews to make them disappear from their own history and world's history.

Both these aims are not academic but have some very definite political goals, th elikes of which we have seen in history. /3

@sarahtweets8t @NomoreBDS @JasonJPaul @30Crowned @marclamonthill @ian_pudding @YoniMichanie The Nazis categorized Roma and Sinti, some were deemed racially pure enough to be allowed to survive, others were sent to Auschwitz to be liquidated.
@marclamonthill as one who speaks for racial justice, shdn't be seen anywhere near such theories. /4

@sarahtweets8t @NomoreBDS @JasonJPaul @30Crowned @marclamonthill @ian_pudding @YoniMichanie It remains for him to provide a cogent explanation why he deems methods and standards he wd never apply to his own people are OK to apply to Jews. These are potentialy violent theories that, if successful, cd actually inflict terrible harm on Jews, in Israel and elsewhere./5

@sarahtweets8t @NomoreBDS @JasonJPaul @30Crowned @marclamonthill @ian_pudding @YoniMichanie But I expect this is exactly what he aims at, and what all those who rally to his defense with such ignominious arguments fully aspire to. "Antisemitic" doesn't even begin to contain the quality of his hatred of Israel. /6

@sarahtweets8t @NomoreBDS @JasonJPaul @30Crowned @marclamonthill @ian_pudding @YoniMichanie There's a bitter irony that @marclamonthill features James Baldwin's picture in his Twitter page. Baldwin, who was ruthlessly candid and insightful about the total immorality of antisemitism, in whatever form it emerges, shd have been his moral model./7

@sarahtweets8t @NomoreBDS @JasonJPaul @30Crowned @marclamonthill @ian_pudding @YoniMichanie @marclamonthill Have you the necessary courage to face this question as it pertains to your theories about Israel?
"if ... Jewish people are, by definition, to be despised, is one willing to murder a .... Jewish baby: for that is where the position leads."*
