The Campaign to Delegitimize the Very Idea of Antisemitism
(Los Angeles Jewish Journal) David Suissa - Izabella Tabarovsky, a Senior Program Associate at the Wilson Center in Washington, writes, "Over the last few years there's been a campaign going on to disarm, distort and discredit the very term antisemitism." Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) mobs forced Rutgers to withdraw a statement condemning antisemitism. Rutgers promised to be more "sensitive & balanced" in the future. Why has the term become such a growing threat to progressives? It disrupts their oppressor/oppressed narrative. Jews are stereotyped as white, Western and the ultimate exemplars of oppressive white privilege. Bad guys must never be allowed to be victims.
