My latest for The Daily Beast:
"Many on the far-left clearly don’t yet realize just how much damage their unapologetic antisemitism (like supporting Hamas’ barbaric crimes) has already done to the movement..."

@charlotteclymer Who on the left is actually doing that, other than a few kids in colleges?
@kevin @LouisIngenthron @charlotteclymer kind of super weird that they posted a substack article 3 days ago where they say they are accused of supporting hamas. I can’t read the daily beast article because that site is hostile to non-subscribers, so I can’t tell if they are bringing actual examples or doing the exact thing complained about in the substack article
@LouisIngenthron
I just read the article. She cites a small handful of examples of various quality (eg, citing “river to the sea” as “well-known to be a call for the destruction of Israel” is typical hasbara bs). In same paragraph assuming “glory to the martyrs” refers to Hamas rather than the thousands of civilians slaughtered by Israel. I’m horrified by Hamas violence and Israel’s.
And no definition of “far left” other than ascribing that label to Bernie Sanders.
Shoddy journalism.
@LouisIngenthron @charlotteclymer Exactly. All I see are people saying the left is antisemetic. From the left I see calls for a cease fire. What's going on here actually?
