Thanks to @TimesofIsrael for publishing my latest piece, on how Holocaust denial isn’t the only negative product of the anti-#CRT movement, and why this was predictable.

blogs.timesofisrael.com/are-you-racist… The recent absurdity of teaching ‘both sides’ in a Holocaust curriculum in Texas cuts through all the conservative gaslighting and ‘outs’ the perverse premise that hate deserves equal time. 1/25

Why are Reps @Ilhan Omar & @RashidaTlaib making it so difficult for moderates & bridge-builders to foster a coalition against hate? They WANT everyone to CHOOSE SIDES, and they see Jews—including peacemakers—as being on the ‘other side’, unless we stand with them against Israel. The Jew-baiting in Omar’s comments isn’t some slip of the tongue—it’s daring humanrights advocates to criticize her so SHE becomes the victim. The racists attacking her just for being a Muslim are helping her make that case, so she can paint Jews and Democrats as oppressors.
