The cancer of anti-Semitism must be excised from the Left

The cancer of anti-Semitism must be excised from the Left
The reality of supporting Palestinian rights, including and especially among those of us with Jewish ancestry, is the the charge of anti-semitism. My Friend, Joel Kovel, lost his position at Bard College for expressing the view that Israel should be a secular state. Many on the left share this view. There was a similar charge for whites in the South who supported civil rights. The polite term is race traitor, though many were given a name that is not memtiomable in polite society. Indeed, it was often applied to Jews in the movement. 

Being Jewish has certain rules as well. Those of us whose ancestors were forced to become Catholic are not considered Jews. Especially those us who have a mother who is a sikxa.

Neoconservatives are Jews who moved from Marxism in mid-century to Zionism who equate support of a secular Israel in keeping with it being the American democracy it claims to be as antisemitism.

They have allies, among them Catholics like MSW and Evangelicals who seek the conversion of the Jews in apocalyptic terms. They both need to butt out of our family quarrels. They resist the title neoconservative, though that is the origin of the term. They are supporting hypocrisy, especially when they support the stranger in this country but not in Zion, as Torah directs.
