    Definitely. Criticize away. You disagree, you should say so. And if someone says something offensive, they should deal with the consequences.

    Where’s the criticism? Where’s the debate? All I’ve seen is accusations of anti-semitism.

      If you defend Palestinians, you should expect to be accused of anti-semitism. It’s inevitable.

      And it doesn’t even matter whether those accusations are fair. Because if you make a public statement, you should not expect all public criticism to be fair.

      So if you can’t handle unfair public criticism, then don’t make public statements.

        Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t. It’s certainly not being debated, which is my point. I don’t know her personally, and I am not familiar with all of her public statements, but as I understand it, this is in response to her support of thr Palestinian Artists Against Apartheid letter from 2021. Is thatthe part you’re calling antisemitic?
