If Peston is speaking as a Jew makes his opinions beyond criticism, then the Jewish nature of those who disagree should too. Problem is that this creates a contradiction, which shows it’s flawed logic. We can listen to the majority voice and think about how such actions affect Jews, and there have been many prominent examples of things like this:
This is blatant antisemitism as unfounded claims that Jews harvest organs is a variation of the blood libel used to slam Jews. It’s not ‘legitimate criticism of Israel’, it’s just demonising Jews. Criticising it is not trying to silence critique of Israel, yet when I speak of this, many of the left make this kind of rubbish which has increased is somehow silencing critique of Israel. This is what many are finding objectionable about Peston’s tweet, and his Jewish status doesn’t make it any less disagreeable. Other Jews would say differently. He’s of course welcome to his opinion, but I am welcome to disagree.
