They say that Anti-semitism isn't systemic. Jews are white supremacists. Jews have dual loyalty and pledge allegiance to Israel. That is the new nexus of anti-Jewish rhetoric percolating up in the US among activists and even in Congress.

It began innocently enough with criticism of Israel and attempts to connect that criticism to other social justice priorities. But over time, the whispering campaign has grown to a crescendo that legitimizes a worldview that is rapidly becoming more toxic. We need to understand this growing discussion as part of a puzzle. Each piece forms its part, and together the parts become a milieu that fosters hatred against Jews in the US.

1. This is an excellent piece.

When Sanders ran in 2016 and the Clinton supporters tried to paint him as racist, they did (and still do) call him "another white man".

My grandmother's extended family, was wiped out in Auschwitz, dozens and dozens of them, by people who certainly did not see them as "white" and calling Sanders that -as people like Sarsour are doing- is an insidious way of framing anti-semitism.

It makes my blood boil as a Jew whose family could not join certain private clubs growing up, and as a Jew who wouldn't be allowed to date certain people...
