I find it funny that you think you are some arbiter. For myself, I have been making points against it elsewhere and, frankly, didn’t see the need to post it on here. Partly because I don’t think I have anything to add, have called out anti-Muslim crap before and because debate on here is absolutely pointless. You’re one of those who are just not interested in anything to the contrary, just twisting words and point scoring. No different to bpg’s wind ups, little is any kind of good faith. The ‘gotcha’ and satisfaction of that is all you’re interested in. It’s pointless engaging, and maybe it’s pointless responding here.

There’s also the matter that anyone who dismissed antisemitism has little credibility when playing the self-righteous card too, so I don’t really pay attention to such moral grandstanding from those with selective caring. A whole year of people chanting anti-Jewish hate, vandalising cinemas showing Oct 7th atrocities, vandalising synagogues, barring Jews from campuses and more, yet this gets made out to be “legitimate criticism of Israel” and smears of the most moral people. Outside the bubble of those who call themselves ‘anti-racists’ on the left, more are not caring about their self-proclamations when it’s a load of rubbish.

One thing I did say was that such lack of care towards antisemitism will have others think they can get away with their own bigotries and it’s perhaps unsurprising that the anti-Muslim elements are now becoming vocal ever since. They will justify it in their own heads by pointing to the hypocrisies on the left over Jews. That seems to be happening.
