Redefining antisemitism in the law was never about Jewish safety. It is about consolidating authoritarian power under the veneer of minority protection
Is this a joke? Trump gave Israel a blank check to invade and annex Gaza, and any pro Palestine protesters are threatened with imprisonment or expulsion from their university.
It’s bafflingly contradictory - like, it only works if you’re clearly in the realm of cognitive dissonance. But I assure you it’s very much a real thing.
And remember Trump is doing this in support of some murderous asshole named Netanyahu.
Its antisemetic to suggest that antizionism is antisemitism.
The Israeli government is not the voice of Jews. That spreads a antisemetic trope. Zionism is not Judaism.
The current right wing definition of antisemitism as anything other than fullthroated support for Netanyahu and his policies serves two purposes. It’s a tool for shouting down all opposition to a fellow authoritarian, and it makes it harder to call out actual antisemitism, which they are fine with.
