One Thing Is Not Like the Other Thing, Reprise 0

At AL.com, Jared Margulies, Emily Wittman, Janek Wasserman, and Luke Herrine, Jewish faculty members at the University of Alabama, argue that conflating opposing Israel’s actions in Gaza with antisemitism, as Alabama senator Katie Britt recently did, is a misdirection play. Given dis coarse discourse, methinks it a timely and worthwhile read. Here’s a tiny bit from early in the article:

We cannot help but feel Senator Britt’s Op-Ed is an act of misdirection. On the one hand, she ignores by far the most important source of antisemitism in the United States: the ever-growing support for open Jew hatred in her own Republican party. On the other hand, the Senator consistently conflates criticism of Israel and solidarity with Palestinian resistance with antisemitism. Taken together, the Op-Ed uses legitimate concern about antisemitism in America to argue for policies that will enable more antisemitic violence here in the United States while violently cracking down on righteous opposition to Israel’s ongoing genocide, including opposition expressed by Jews like us.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
