Antisemitism and anti-Zionism

dimanche 21 avril 2019 à 02:00

"Antisemites use the language of anti-Zionism. The two are distinct."

The article distinguishes between various forms of opposition to Zionism, saying that some of them include antisemitism, while others are not.

Based on this, one can see how the IHRA definition of antisemitism draws the line at the wrong place in that area.

I am not an anti-Zionist myself. I continue to wish for the outcome Uri Avnery wished for: two states, in a peaceful relationship. However, the time for Israelis to permit that is running out.

Some report that antisemitism in France now has two sources: neo-Nazis and Islamist extremists.
