What makes you think I’m okay with Palestinian civilians being killed? But let’s not pretend anti-semitism doesn’t have a long heritage on the far left (it’s one of the things the far left and far right have in common). As I noted earlier, a recent investigation into the UK’s Labour Party uncovered systemic antisemitism.

Which doesn’t mean all or even most criticism of Israel from the left is rooted in anti-semitism. However, when that criticism is so one-sided and out of proportion to other global conflicts, you have to be pretty naive to discount it.
