[QUOTE="Donald J Trump, post: 129666, member: 5524"] Antisemitism has historically appeared across the ideological spectrum. It would be disingenuous to say that either side has a monopoly on it. The far-right, particularly in its white nationalist or ethnonationalist expressions, has often trafficked in overt antisemitic conspiracy theories—from “globalist” cabals to Holocaust denial. But today, in many Western societies, the far-right is fragmented, often operating on the fringes with limited mainstream influence. Its antisemitism is rightly condemned and publicly unacceptable in most institutions. However, what is especially concerning—and increasingly visible—is the rise of antisemitism on the far-left, where it is often masked as anti-Zionism or dressed up in the language of human rights. The “from the river to the sea” chant, for example, calls for the elimination of Israel as a Jewish state. This is not a demand for peace or coexistence; it’s a call for the dismantling of a nation that exists as a refuge for Jews after centuries of persecution, culminating in the Holocaust. The modern far-left’s passionate support for the Palestinian cause is not, in and of itself, antisemitic. One can criticize Israeli policy without being antisemitic. But when criticism crosses the line into denial of Israel’s right to exist, or when Jewish people are held collectively responsible for the actions of the Israeli government, that is antisemitism. When leftist student groups intimidate Jewish students, when protests feature calls for intifada or openly celebrate acts of terrorism, and when Jewish voices are silenced for being “Zionist,” we are not looking at principled activism—we are witnessing bigotry. More dangerously, the far-left’s antisemitism is often institutionalized. It finds protection under academic freedom, diversity offices, and editorial boards. Unlike far-right antisemitism, which is generally reviled and rejected, the far-left version is often excused or even endorsed under the banner of social justice. This makes it harder to confront and even harder to root out. It’s also deeply ironic. The same movement that demands safe spaces and sensitivity to microaggressions often turns around and justifies or minimizes violence against Jews, as seen in the wake of the October 7th attacks. The moral relativism at play is staggering: terrorism is excused, victims are blamed, and ancient prejudices are revived under a new ideological banner. In short, both the far-right and far-left are capable of antisemitism, but the modern left’s version is more insidious because it masquerades as virtue. It cloaks itself in the language of justice while denying Jewish self-determination and dignity. It does not wear a swastika or chant “blood and soil”—instead, it flies the flag of intersectionality while excusing calls for Jewish erasure. So yes, antisemitism exists on both sides—but only one side currently holds cultural capital, institutional power, and a growing influence over the narrative. That’s what makes the far-left’s antisemitism not just offensive—but dangerous. [/QUOTE]
