From Occupation to Occupy: Antisemitism and the Contemporary American Left.

The article, titled "From Occupation to Occupy: Antisemitism and the Contemporary American Left," by Sina Arnold, examines the attitudes of left-wing activists towards antisemitism and Israel between 2001 and 2011. The author draws on interviews with activists from groups such as Occupy Wall Street, Jewish Voice for Peace, and Students for Justice in Palestine. The article highlights the historical roots of antisemitism on the left, including the influence of Christian theological stereotypes. It also discusses the similarities between the antisemitism of the contemporary American far-left and the far-right, as well as the far-left's alliance with Islamists. The article concludes by questioning the denial of antisemitism by the far-left and its focus on demonizing Israel while ignoring other human rights violations. [Extracted from the article]
