His original post , titled I can’t sleep, is some brilliant writing. When we talk about the chilling effect that criticism of Israel creates in industries everywhere (including ours) this is what that looks like.

    It was a statement. Why do you find it so upsetting that something antisemitic might also be called anti-Zionist?

      Anti-Semitism is used for people who dislike Jews, anti-Zionism is opposition to a political ideology. One of these is deplorable, the other is vital to any non-totalitarian society, whether you agree with it or not.

      By blurring the line between the two you are at best either legitimizing anti-Semitism or pushing towards a totalitarian mindset where political ideologies cannot be challenged. In reality you’re doing both. And even worse, I think you know what you’re doing.

        How am I blurring the line?
        What did I say that made it more difficult for you or anyone else to determine what is anti-Zionism and what is antisemitism?
        Did I suggest some change to the definition of what constitutes something being labeled one or the other?
        Did I suggest a method for determining what is antisemitic or anti-Zionist?
        Did I make a false statement?
