Antisemitism and Islamophobia suppression is asymmetric in practice [contrarian]
[C]ontrary to the pervasive “both sides” framing of rising antisemitism and Islamophobia, this repressive wave is plainly asymmetric: there is no comparable institutional effort to suppress endorsements of the current Israeli state, despite its commitments to “Jewish supremacy” (as Israeli human rights organization B’Tselem and others describe it) and ongoing commission of war crimes like collective punishment of Gazans (even setting aside the “genocide” question). The ubiquitous justification offered for this stark asymmetry is that calls for Palestinian freedom constitute threats of antisemitic violence against Jews in Israel and the U.S. alike.
