This article in @HuffPost by @letsgomathias is problematic because of how uncritical it is. It claims that groups are fighting antisemitism but many of those groups are also attacking the @ADL, which has done important work in fighting antisemitism. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/movement-for-black-lives-jewish-groups-united-against-anti-semitism_n_5f401454c5b697824f98622a

Indeed, it leads to the issue of non Jewish organizations defining anitsemitism for us, only calling out antisemitism when it is on the right. But it does have an important question: Do we focus on antisemitism on the left more than the right and, if so, why?

They point to this article from Media Matters. I would argue that part of the issue on the left is that Jews would like to be working toward the same goals as the left, but also be able to do so without having to sacrifice their Jewish identity. https://www.mediamatters.org/broadcast-networks/trump-and-gop-weaponize-charges-anti-semitism-media-has-covered-anti-semitic#paragraph--section-heading--3262206

What that means, for me, is being able to be a part of liberal groups while still supporting Israel. It means not being told what I can and cannot wear to show my Jewish pride at events. It means not having a litmus test for Jewish people that they don't for others and excludes

95% of Jewish people. Most importantly, it means not holding Jews to a higher standard. For both the left and the right, if they want to fight antisemitism, both should look inward, not outward. Both should really examine what antisemitism looks like in their groups.

For the left, that would mean engagement instead of boycott. Instead of fighting the ADL, learn why the ADL is so important to Jewish people and the fight against antisemitism. Talk to diverse groups of Jews to learn what antisemitism means to them and how the left can be

a welcoming place for Jewish people. Antisemitism is on the left and the right. It is a problem which leads to Jewish people being used as props instead of people with agency. Fighting it is important, so is looking inward into how your org can be more welcoming to Jewish people
