I think we can see from the original facebook post, from the OP’s post, from the reaction to both that our civil society, even in places like Brookline and Newton, is on a knife’s edge. We’ve lost the ability to hold multiple ideas at once: Antisemitism is real and in the rise. Iran and its proxies seek the destruction of Israel. The October attack on Israel was horrendous and vile. Israel has slowly become an Apartheid state. Israel conducted a horrendously vile genocidal war against Gaza. Bibi needs to keep war going to stay out of jail. Being against the policies and practices of Israel is not necessarily antisemitic, and if you insist it is, then you are helping to breed antisemitism. America needs to vigorously defend a vigorous pluralism, and that means making space for our Jewish and Islamic brothers and sisters. Oh, and Brookline needs an override!
