The blinding rage directed at AOC & Bowman for daring to utter the word ‘antisemitism’ in relation to the pogromist mobs outside the Nova exhibit is something to behold. 

I don’t take condemnations of antisemitism from these two as a sign of serious intention or allyship. They themselves are complicit in creating the current climate, & their condemnations are cynical & politically-driven. But responses they are getting from their progressive-Islamist friends tell us something important about this moment. 

Over the last few years there’s been a campaign going on to disarm, distort & discredit the very term ‘antisemitism.’
