An informative and insightful conversation for someone like me who is trying to understand criticism of Israel and Zionism without anti-Semitism.

David Remnick speaks with Omer Bartov, a professor of Holocaust and genocide studies at Brown University and author of “Israel: What Went Wrong?” Bartov, who grew up in a Zionist home in Israel and served in the Israel Defense Forces, believes Zionism has morphed into an ideology of extremism that led to genocide in Gaza following the Hamas attacks of October 7th.

2. permit criticism of zionism ?
3. make clear (2) is not anti-semitism ?

Some of us are looking at alternatives to mastodon-soscial, mstdn-social etc who have shown themselves to be biased in the censoring and moderation decisions.

Thanks

@Geri
Unfair that the URL indicates the article has been categorized as being about #antisemitism. It is NOT #antisemitic for #Spain to boycott #Eurovision because #Israel is involved. It is a POLITICAL protest against Israel's #genocidal aggression in #Gaza, #Lebanon, and #Iran.

The fact that the Israeli government ranks Greta Thunberg as second on a list of the most influental antisemites is understandable, because the Swedish acitivist is very efficient in demanding to take a stance for Palestine. The accusation is obviously void, it's just her showing solidarity with Gaza and naming a genocide a genocide.

What is interesting though is that the far-right government of Israel accuses rightwing influencers like Nick Fuentes, Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens of the same hate crime
thus moving Greta intentfully into an ideological corner that gives a totally wrong impression of her political convictions and makes her even more vulnerable as she already is.

Giving out a list of the most vicious enemies of the state Israel by itself is a move worthy of any authoritarian regime. Mingling together totally different actors to fight the hate crime of antisemitism isn't helping any Jewish people who are confronted with racism directed against their religious heritage and national identity.
