As the rhetorical battle over Israel and Palestine wages, some progressives find ourselves caught in the middle. Too many leftist groups have taken a Palestine-by-any-means-necessary approach that can veer into anti-Semitism. The right-wing in the U.S. is gleefully pointing to the anti-Semitism as a reason to blame critical race theory for all manner of evils. Critical race theory is not anti-Semitic, and it’s not anti-Palestinian either.
A key reason for liberals to recognize nuance in the Middle East is that some on the right in the U.S. are trying to twist the anti-Israel rhetoric of the few into a reason for all Jews to support conservative politics. This may entice some to support any and all of the current Israeli government’s policies over recognition of the many problems with Trumpian authoritarian politics. Indeed, The Wall Street Journal recently published a claim that progressives' use of critical race theory fosters anti-Semitism. When people on the left act as if Hamas’s attacks on Israel are unproblematic and take issue with Israel’s right to exist, however, we play into the right’s recruitment of U.S. Jews.
Yeah, CRT isn't anti-Semitic. Neither was Communism in the Soviet Union. They openly said so. We're not anti-Semitic. We'll close your synagogues and yeshivos, forbid the practice of your religion, treat you like pariahs but it's says right here in our laws that anti-Semitism is forbidden!
ReplyDeleteIt's the same with CRT. Jews are "White adjacent" - we're not actually Whites but we're just as bad as them. This is published stuff! They proudly announce it!
