As Israel's genocidal war against Palestinians rages on with full backing of the US government, we are also witnessing a terrifying rise in anti-Palestinian, anti-Arab, anti-Muslim, and antisemitic bigotry and violence here at home.

Jewish communal spaces have been graffitied with swastikas; neo-Nazis have marched through Madison; Palestinian college students are experiencing mass censorship; three Palestinian college students were shot; a six-year-old Palestinian child was murdered; and rightwing white supremacists are gaining wide audiences. In this moment, the only answer is solidarity among our communities and a true commitment to collective liberation.

But a coordinated campaign from the Israeli and US governments and organizations like the
Anti Defamation League (ADL) is aiming to misstate and even legally redefine antisemitism in order to buffer the Israeli government from accountability for its war crimes.

We see this from the House of Representatives regularly pushing forward dangerous and harmful conflations between antisemitism with criticism of Israel, to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer delivering a speech on the Senate floor that misstates what antisemitism is and largely ignores the central threat of white nationalism in the fight against antisemitism.

We need to understand what antisemitism is (and what it is not) so that we can fight it effectively, along with all forms of injustice.
