Ignoring Antisemitism May Now Be Amnesty International Policy
The group Amnesty’s behavior is typical of how a large number of people in the anti-racism world turn a blind eye to antisemitism. In the last year, the group has issued two reports on misogyny, racism and social media none of which mentions antisemitism.
Excerpt:
In these circles, the request that British Jews must condemn Israel as a trade for concern about antisemitism is seldom explicitly made, because such language would obviously stink of racism: but the stench of the demand is always lingering.
Ultimately, the strength of anti-Israel feeling simply overwhelms any desire to stand alongside mainstream Jewish communities and to meaningfully oppose contemporary antisemitism, a position that is encouraged by a noisy handful of anti-Zionist Jews who hold nothing but contempt for the concerns of their co-religionists.
