The problem with this statement is that what counts as antisemitism has been bastardized to include any and all criticism of a religious apartheid state and not just hatred of Jewish people. It’s like saying someone is Islamophobic if they don’t think a Saudi government that murders journalists should exist.

Isn't pro-palestine pro-semitism? They are a semitic people, after all. I'm just sick of being called a racist by Israel for calling out their genocide.

I agree that anti-semitism is bad and we should not welcome it into our country. I assume the people behind this push don’t conflate ‘anti-semitism’ with ‘anti-IDF’, and that the vague notion of ‘anti-semitism’ used here won’t be used to punish people critical of the genocide that Israel is undertaking on Palestinians.

“Consistent with her past statements erroneously linking antisemitic attacks with Palestine solidarity protests, Segal seems fixated on driving a pro-Israel narrative and repressing legitimate criticism of Israel’s genocide in Gaza,” Kaiser added.

Oh.

I'm afraid they'll pull the same here soon.
