This is from the brilliant blog Mystical Politics: More antisemitism at rallies against the Gaza war. This photo is from a rally in Stuttart, Germany, on July 25, 2014. Source: http://emafrie.de/category/texte-von-emafrie. The poster in the center has an image on it by the French artist Zeon. Here are a couple more photos of the same demonstration: […]

Anti-Zionist antisemites
Of course anti-Zionism is not the same as antisemitism. But some anti-Zionists are antisemites. Here’s three examples. 1. Parisian anti-Israel protestors besiege Jews in synagogues. At the weekend, it is reported that “three Paris synagogues sustained anti-Semitic attacks over the weekend with rioters sending three Jews to the hospital.” Note well: not the Israeli embassy, […]

Further to this: the blog Exposing Antisemitism has been carefully detailing the depth of antisemitism within the British Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC). To me, this evidence confirms my belief that “Palestine Solidarity”, as a political movement, has very little to do with solidarity with the (very real and terrible) suffering of actual Palestinians, and everything to […]

Tariq Ali and Islam
From an excellent review of Tariq Ali’s The Obama Syndrome by Andrew Coates: The East is Green. The rise of Islamism remains, though not described in these terms, Ali’s impassable horizon.

Keffiyeh politics
Following, for reasons too complicated to explain, a series of links, I ended up at a fairly unsavoury Canadian website, Blazing Catfur, which has a hyperbolic post on a liberal Canadian anti-racist campaign.

Antisemitism today
Legacy of Hope: Anti-Semitism, the Holocaust and Resistance Yesterday and Today. An important piece of writing, by Robert Fine. Also useful, although I think some of the formulations are wrong: Jewish Agency says world anti-Semitism surges: truth or propaganda? By WW4’s Bill Weinberg. Fantastic post by Terry Glavin, which made me proud: Weekend Readings: The […]
