His original post , titled I can’t sleep, is some brilliant writing. When we talk about the chilling effect that criticism of Israel creates in industries everywhere (including ours) this is what that looks like.

        The US ““free market”” - Where if you choose not to do business with somebody they make it illegal not to.

          Anti-fascism and anti-semitims are also not mutually exclusive. Anti-communism and anti-consumerism are not mutually exclusive. Anti-war and anti-liberalism are not mutually exclusive. Anti-abortion and anti-gay rights are not mutually exclusive.

          Hell, few things are mutually exclusive. You had a handful of god-damn Jewish Nazis and one fucking honorary aryan during the war. So not even Semitism and anti-Semitism are mutually fucking exclusive.

          Things not being mutually exclusive is a pretty fucking moot argument.

                It was a statement. Why do you find it so upsetting that something antisemitic might also be called anti-Zionist?

                  Anti-Semitism is used for people who dislike Jews, anti-Zionism is opposition to a political ideology. One of these is deplorable, the other is vital to any non-totalitarian society, whether you agree with it or not.

                  By blurring the line between the two you are at best either legitimizing anti-Semitism or pushing towards a totalitarian mindset where political ideologies cannot be challenged. In reality you’re doing both. And even worse, I think you know what you’re doing.

                    How am I blurring the line?
                    What did I say that made it more difficult for you or anyone else to determine what is anti-Zionism and what is antisemitism?
                    Did I suggest some change to the definition of what constitutes something being labeled one or the other?
                    Did I suggest a method for determining what is antisemitic or anti-Zionist?
                    Did I make a false statement?
