That final sentence is key. I’ve often said the same thing. I used to think it was a very persuasive argument — on the assumption that ardent Zionists were, like me, opponents of antisemitism. But I came to see that very few of them really are. Or at least, I realized that the prospect Ezra is concerned about (that people who merely object to Israeli apartheid or Israeli war crimes will become antisemites) is not at all a concern for Israel’s apologists. On the contrary. They deeply prefer for everyone who disagrees with Israel to hate the Jews. (If you ask them in the right way, they will admit to this.)

I was arrested for protesting during spring '24. Two of my fellow protestors were only acquitted last week, nearly two years after. Protesters at my campus had wrists broken by cops and had their civil rights violated in jail. Others were indefinitely suspended. Under Biden(1/3)

The crackdown at universities included expulsions, criminal charges, the actual jailing of students for as little as an oped, new campus rules that made criticizing Israel a punishable offense, the banning even of megaphones at demonstrations…and then Neera “wonders” where the protests went. Such a mystery!

Gotta say, I have also been wondering why there are no shame chants at Trump staff.

The schools that had the most prevalent protests - including Columbia where I work - either suspended or expelled most of the students protesting Israel's genocide of Gaza. One of my former students has a 3 year (!!!) suspension. Then, the schools enacted rules making protest nearly impossible. And the very people who pressured the schools to do this are now saying "Where are all the protests?". Idiots.
The Bulwark@BulwarkOnline

As President Donald Trump’s unauthorized war on Iran with Israel entered into its second month, some Democratic officials were looking around and wondering: Where are the anti-war protests this time around? And why are college campuses so quiet? @Lauren_V_Egan takes a look.

Jewish Voice for Peace@jvplive·
Trump is threatening to eliminate the people of Iran overnight. Years of normalizing genocidal rhetoric and mass violence has brought us to this cataclysmic moment. Our condemnation of this shameless endorsement of mass murder is as strong as our rage at the elected officials and media whose endless appeasement of genocide led us to this existential crisis.

Mahmoud Khalil sat down with @jdforward for an extended interview because he wanted to talk to Jews, including those who see his Free Palestine movement as an existential threat. His message, take it or leave it: "I want to liberate everyone." forward.com/news/817276/ma…

German police arrested Udi Raz in 2024 for holding a sign that read “Jews against genocide.” He said, “Would it have been alright with you if it said “Jews in Favor of Genocide?” The police reportedly “manhandled him even more fiercely” as a result. According to Iris Hefets, herself arrested for holding a similar sign in 2023, Jews have been specifically targeted for arrest because they “get in the way of the narrative.” bostonreview.net/articles/antis… x.com/redstreamnet/s…
