The debate around the murders of #WashingtonDC (among other things) have given me a somewhat frightening look into how people politically identifying as "left" are using argumentation patterns which I have so far mostly seen on the right.

Take the "being anti-Israel is not #antisemitsm" argument as an example. Of course it's not wrong per se, but the way it is used says a lot.

I'm happy to announce the publication of the collection

From Centre to Periphery and Beyond

that resulted from the 24th Workshop on NS camps and killing sites.

Today I decided to spend the day working on something unrelated to antisemtism, or the Fediverse.

A friend and I met in person to work on an completely different project, and for a few hours I didn't think about the existential threat to my life, discrimination, or anything else other than the technical work.

That is, until we went outside to get lunch, where I saw this poster, and several others like it.

It's not "pro" anything. It doesn't say anything about Palestinian rights, or a fight for freedom.

Instead, it's purely anti-"Israel".

I couldn't help but in that moment think about the kind of antisemitic posters that existed in 1930s Germany that my own family must have seen in the lead up to the Holocaust.

But I don't live in Germany. I live in Vancouver, Canada, and here they were.

No one was shocked. No one was offended. No one was angry. No one cared.

This i how the Holocaust happened, through demonization and apathy.
