Jew-hatred is never rational, has metamorphosed over the centuries and your attempt to explain or rationalize bigotry fails. The problem with defining these anti-Zionists as not antisemitic is that these leftists are in fact bigots. You choose to define their bigotry as something other than Jew-hatred, though their hatred is entirely directed towards Jews. Antisemites always have had their reasons for hating Jews: they killed Christ, they reject Christ, they are capitalists, they are communists, they are rich, they are poor, they are unassimilated or they are posing as Germans. These leftists hate Jews because they are white, because they are rich, they are settlers and because they are Zionists, even those such as Chen who are not Zionists.
So following the logic of anti-Colonialism vs anti-Semitism, as you seem to be suggesting it, the people who dislike Jews for kidnapping Christian children to kill and make Matzah are not really anti-Semitic, they just dislike people who kidnap Christian children in general, some of whom happen to be Jews. Or am I missing something?
There is no intellectual take-down of this writing. If the author refuses to see the reality, when that reality smacks him in the face, then he is simply lost. He lives in a nether world, or he dies. Trump a liar and a con man? Prove it, don't just say it MF. But, he cast aspirations as though they were prayer beads. I am sick of so-called "intellectuals" like this. Look, Jews are under attack, largely by the Islamists and the Left troglodytes of a bygone era. Nothing "Future" about any of this. These trogs are Nazis, straight out of Goebbels casting department. They have to kill your fkg Mother to get you to pay attention? Fk you. Wise up, or die. Like Bob Dylan's song, help, or get out of the way. Harsh? Yes. Stop helping the enemy kill Jews.

Thank you for illustrating mr. Michaelson's point.
What is his point?

Frightening variant of “bothsideism”

What a wise and heart wrenching piece this is. Thank you.
