Antisemitism

It is a mistake to focus exclusively on antisemitism without defending liberty and justice for all. Here’s why.

It is a struggle to separate our inherited fears from our assessment of present threats.

What is unprecedented is that today’s pursuers of alleged “enemies” of democracy claim dubiously to be acting to protect Jews.

The definition of antisemitism should work to keep Jews safe as Jews in school, while not curtailing free speech or the cultural and religious safety of others, including Muslims and Palestinians.

Reactions in the United States post-Oct. 7 mimicked the mid-1960s’ political moment more than it innovated anything new.

Is antisemitism eternal and inevitable?
