[Peace-discuss] Academic Freedom Conference ... speakers flying/ driving / Skypeing in from around the country/world.

[David Gehrig]

I'm removing Occupy from the reply list, as it's not a discussion group.

Wrapping antisemitic ideology, up to and including Holocaust denial, in the language of anti-zionism does not magically erase its antisemitism. When Steve Francis does exactly that, as he has done on these lists, then "I'm not an antisemite, only an anti-Zionist" excuse falls apart, and his being on the left, rather than the right, doesn't change that.

So which part do you dispute, that Francis is an antisemite, or that he is on the left?

By now, it oughta be clearer than clear that I wasn't "crying wolf" or "trying to change the subject." The time to discuss antisemitism is when there is antisemitism, even when that antisemitism is on the left and the Counterpunch crowd are too ideologically paralyzed to address it.
