I think the events of Oct 7th have proved beyond any doubt the two state solution is dead and genocidal Palestinians cannot be allowed to live anywhere near Israelis or jews

EXTRAORDINARY! I LOVE this article! It does a great job in giving a detailed explanation of one of the IHRA definitions of antiSemitism, except how to NOT do it [The one being holding Israel to a double standard & blaming Jews for the world's problems]

There is no reason to help antisemites, or critics of Israel. Israel has enough healthy self-criticism without the entire world’s meddling. I’d republish as a guide for spotting antisemitism.

Hi Yehuda, it's a very fair point. I almost wrote it that way actually. The problem with these sorts of stories is that they tend to be overly read by people who know all this, and not enough by people who need to know it. Those of us on the right side of this spend a lot time preaching to the converted. Hence, I framed the way I did to capture the attention of people who don't like Israel but also know nothing about it, because they are the ones that need to hear it. I may republish in the future as guide as you suggest with a few additions. Thanks for commenting.
