2. Actually, it is a good thing.

It is refreshing to see people inhabiting the same political space not making excuses for anti-Semitism and to be willing to stand up to it. The Biden administration's refusal to let anti-Semites off the hook because they are on the left. It is nauseating how many on the left seem to think anti-Semitism is OK, as long as it comes from the left and is disguised, usually loosely, as "criticism" of Israel.

It is disgusting and discouraging how many on the left will rail on and on about racism, sexism, transphobia on the left and how we need to "be better", but when it comes to anti-Semitism, they have a HUGE blind spot to and love to "'splain' anti-Semitism to Jews and in general. When it comes to most minorities, it is important to be "woke", but when it is Jews, then they become comatose.

And, because it ALWAYS has to be said in these discussions, because any disagreement always leads to false accusations; no, not all criticism of Israel is anti-Semitic, most isn't. Some is simply regionalism, a form of bigotry often overlooked, but some is anti-Semitism, and it is just as bad when some on the left does it as it is when it comes from the right.

BTW, did you actually read the article or just react to the title of the article in the Jewish group?
