Do you happen to have any links to Postone’s criticisms/analysis of Left-wing Anti-semitism? Particularly fascinated by your brief mentioning of his work but am not sure where to read it
Great article. I notice a mention of Maté-- Are you referring to Aron Maté? If so, I wonder if anyone has responded to the recent al-Jazeera documentary attempting to disprove Hamas' crimes against humanity on October 7? I read an article positing that Hamas hadn't committed the worst excesses reported by Israel, and though I have my own criticisms of this piece (while trying to localise Hamas' terrorist attack to being a 'military operation' to help the world remember the suffering of the Palestinians, the author made no mention of Hamas' planned massacres of Jews in synagogues abroad, which were foiled by intelligence agencies), I wondered if any on the pro-Israel side had examined these claims?
Sorry, Elena... I know the left sucks, but if you're unironically citing Jeffrey Fucking Goldberg as some sort of moral authority, you've lost the plot, as the kids say
I appreciate your writing, but a couple (American) objections:
1) I can't imagine any of the woke pro-Palestine Ivy leaguers (i.e., "US keffiye-wearing students of Gender and Colonialisazion") chanting "Jews to the gas." I don't know what they're doing in Berlin, but as an objective fact, no groups of Ivy league rich kids are chanting that.
I am sure global Intifadistas will spare this Good Jew.

I used to read some Greenwald articles about the lack of freedom of speech due to Dem pressure since 2016.
I did not realize he hates Israel so much, and still can't understand why.
Thank you for making this public as well as comments. I’m sorry I missed it back when you wrote it in December though I probably needed it more today.

There is no way in which a human being can defend or justify what Israel is doing.
Wow he’s always hated Israel he’s utter human garbage

Wrong.

2) Hate speech is a constitutionally protected civil right in the USA, and that includes "calling for genocide": https://www.thefire.org/news/why-most-calls-genocide-are-protected-speech
