Criticism of Zionism is not anti-Semitism, says art critic Ranjit Hoskote
Ranjit Hoskote resigns from Documenta 16 selection committee after being accused of anti-Semitism for supporting a 2019 BDS India letter. He argued that criticism of Zionism does not equate to anti-Semitism and that Documenta's "toxic atmosphere" does not allow for a nuanced discussion of the issues. He cited intellectuals who have rejected the equation between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism and said a system that insists on such a definition has lost its moral compass.
