This anti-Semitism, on both the left and the right is evident not only in the political arena, but on campus, as well. Rabbi Buchdahl continues:
Opposition to Israel
has increasingly become a necessary preconditionfor all other progressive commitments.
Some groups will only allow Jewish students to participate
if they take a ‘disloyalty oath’
and affirm they are opposed to “Israeli racism.”
This singling out of Israel, as THE litmus test
for Jewish involvement in any social justice cause
is antisemitism,
plain and simple.
And I beg of you students to call that out when you see it.
