Antisemitism is found everywhere. Throughout history, antisemites of all creeds, colors and political identities associate Jews with what they despise most. This is why far-Right antisemites call Jews "communists"...
1/
... while far-Left antisemites call Jews racists, colonialists and child-killers;,Black antisemites will say Jews try to control their lives by controlling their livelihoods; Muslim antisemites will say Jews are cowards and enemies of Mohammed;...

2/
...Christian antisemites will call Jews Christ-killers; Black Nation of Islam followers will call Jews slave owners.

If there is one hatred that unites the world, it is Jew-hatred.

3/
The more you know about antisemitism, the more you realize that the people who claim that antisemitism is only associated with white supremacists don't know the first thing about antisemitism.

4/
One other point: While every other kind of bigotry is defined by the far-Left as expansively as possible, antisemitism is defined as narrowly as possible.
5/
People who want to throw the Jews into the sea, or who claim that Blacks are the real Jews and Jews are imposters, or that the Jewish state is the most racist state in the world, are not denigrated.
6/
Nazis are bad - but poets of color or Leftist rock stars or Palestinian leaders who echo Nazi literature are celebrated and their antisemitism, when called out, is excused.

To fight antisemitism, you need to understand antisemitism. Don't just align it with your politics.

I'm looking at the Cornel West/Harvard kerfuffle, after his Haaretz interview, and I am stunned at how badly this is being misreported.

1/
He told Haaretz that there were three possible reasons for Harvard’s decision to deny a tenure review: his academic work, his age or his politics. Since the first two don't make sense he figures it must be his stance on Israel.

2/
But West is lying.

He wasn't denied tenure as many articles claim. His position wasn't ever eligible for tenure to begin with, and he knew this when he re-joined Harvard in 2016.

Dear @CNN: In your story by @alaaelassar about the Almadhoun family in Gaza, there are a couple of quotes from Hani Almadahoun that are accepted as fact. Please correct or clarify.
cnn.com/2021/02/17/us/…

1/
@CNN @alaaelassar "Being in Gaza is hard. At times it was hell. You get maybe six or eight hours of electricity a day..."

According to the UN, during the time the family was in Gaza, there was an average of 14 hours of electricity a day. ochaopt.org/page/gaza-stri…

2/
@CNN @alaaelassar "On many nights..., Almadhoun said he could hear the sounds of drones flying overhead and what sounded like missiles striking targets not far from their home in Gaza City."

I count only four nights of airstrikes during that time...: 3/

The lies of @btselem are so egregious.

Jews cannot travel to Area A. Or Area B. Or Gaza. And severe limitations on the Temple Mount. So by B'Tselem's definition, JEWS are the ones under apartheid.
@btselem If nations giving preference to their own national group over others is apartheid, then most European countries are apartheid. Every Arab country is apartheid. B'Tselem of course ignores WHY Israel has a Law of Return. I guess Nazi Germany isn't worth remembering anymore.
@btselem If even B'Tselem admits that Israeli Jews and Arabs have the same freedom of movement - in fact, Israeli Arabs have MORE - then where is the apartheid and "Jewish supremacy"?

Answer: Even @btselem knows this is a sham. And the accusation is nothing short of antisemitic.

Meanwhile, here's the socialist Left attacking the mainstream Democrats who support Israel @DemMaj4Israel. It's interesting to watch, and it exposes the false themes and anti-fact methods of the Israel haters. 1/
@DemMaj4Israel Notice how they cannot argue with DMFI's facts. As always, the facts don't favor the Israel haters, so instead they say that DMFI used information from @RegavimIsrael which they tar as "far right" and "anti-Palestinian" as if their facts therefore don't matter. 2/
@DemMaj4Israel @RegavimIsrael I have spoken to Regavim and they do care about the Palestinians and Arab residents of Israel. But they also care about Jewish and Israeli rights. They properly try to balance both sets of rights within the framework of the law. That is not extremist. That is noble. 3/

The idiocy of the Left in a single tweet (a thread)
Background: Obama said, "“You lost a big audience the minute you say it ["Defund the Police"], which makes it a lot less likely that you’re actually going to get the changes you want done.”

For once, he is 100% right.
2/
I read some of the white papers from the Left on what they call "defunding the police."

I agreed with about 90% of what they said. Nearly all of it was for thoughtful police reform.

And I've spoken to law enforcement professionals who agree.

Antisemitism from "human rights" NGOs:

elderofziyon.blogspot.com/2020/10/are-am…

@HRW once implied that half of Israeli soldiers are religious fanatic who would kill Arabs against IDF orders

@amnestyusa sponsored a US tour of someone who claims Jews steal Palestinian organs

1/
@hrw @amnestyusa HRW's @KenRoth tweeted that European antisemitism is a response to Israeli actions, justifying it.

@Amnesty UK has sponsored BDS groups to rent its HQ in London - but denied Jewish Zionist groups.

@Amnesty'smembers voted AGAINST a resolution condemning antisemitism.

2/
@hrw @amnestyusa @KenRoth @amnesty An @amnesty deputy director still has photos glorifying terrorists on his Facebook page.

Last year @Oxfam sold antisemitic literature on its website, including the Protocols.

When Miftah published its blood libel, Oxfam excused it as a simple mistake .
