I wish this was true. Obviously, there are many instances where this is what is operating. And certainly on a unconscious level it is operating in some. But this doesn't speak to what I am seeing up close: Jews who are convinced of the lies and propaganda about Israel, who are unaware of the true level of antisemitism they are supporting, and who are more religious about their progressivism than their Judaism and believing themselves to be on the 'right side' of history by throwing in with those who vilify Israel. They do not think they are somehow saving themselves; they really believe what they are saying, and they really believe that Israel is 'causing antisemitism'. They are profoundly self-righteous and immune to hearing anything that questions their beliefs on this. I wish this could be addressed.. unfortunately, this article is a misunderstanding of what is going on in a large number of progressive Jews who this does not describe.

There is extensive and deep brainwashing and misinformation that we need to find a way of unraveling so that people can see what it is they are supporting when they condemn Israel in the way they do it now

When J Street publicly calls out fellow jews (HEADLINE: “Silence is complicity”) for refusing to “demand” an immediate ceasefire, I see them as JUDENRAT.
