Machover readmitted

vendredi 10 novembre 2017 à 01:00

The Labour Party grudgingly readmitted Moshé Machover, after many members protested that his support for Palestinians' rights is not antisemitism.

My mother told me about the antisemitism she experienced as a girl. After Easter, her fellows students, some of them normally her friends, would run after her as a mob shouting "Christ-killer."

In the 1930s, antisemitism in the US was not hidden. There were clubs that did not allow Jews in, and places Jews were not allowed to live. (This partially resembled the way blacks were treated.) After the holocaust, antisemitism became socially unacceptable, so I have hardly ever encountered it. Maybe the bully and his friends have brought it back.

Supporting the rights of Palestinians is not antisemitism.
