I get an iteration of this ask like once a month, and it’s always some form of “why do you care so much about leftist antisemitism when neo nazis exist”
And there are two main reasons.
1. Antisemitism is still antisemitism regardless of who does it. The left isn’t less harmful in their antisemitism simply because it’s coming from the left.
2. I am a leftist myself and care deeply about the left. Ignoring the harm to jews it causes, it is genuinely scary seeing people on the left abandon leftist values for right wing rhetoric wrapped in a thin cover of leftism.
3. The leftist antisemitism largely consists of the uncritical wholesale adoption of the same genocidal reactionary right wing antisemitism.
4. Leftists have achieved in two years what the most hardcore 8chan groypers could only dream of (a Charlottesville every other day, legitimizing the harassment isolation marginalization and even killing of jews as justice rather than bigotry, successfully subjecting jewish communities’ ability to exist in public and participate in society unmolested to their litmus tests, mainstreaming across our cultural institutions that jews are ontologically inauthentic eternal foreigners conveniently placed at the root of our major societal ills, etc)
