Here is the recently released Columbia University report on antisemitism on campus.
If you are short on time, read just the sections that document the experiences of Jewish students.
In the context of hating Jewish people, the American left is very nearly indistinguishable from the far right.
Most democrats are not leftists… but at least a few of the people reading these words would happily describe themselves as such.
If you think of yourself as “leftist”, read this report, and then engage in a great deal of soul searching.
There is a saying to the effect “if you are at an event with 12 people, and one of them is openly a Nazi and goes unchallenged, then you are at an event with 12 Nazis”.
That standard applies to leftists as well. Don’t allow your peers to hide behind the paper thin veil of “well, we hate Zionists, not Jews”. Don’t tolerate the kind of behavior described in this report. When your peers and allies engage in that oldest of hatreds, do not allow them the complicity of your silence.
