Blood libel doesn't mean "heinous libel," and I wish people would stop using it that way. It refers specifically to the libel that Jews make matzah, the unleavened bread we eat on Passover, with the blood of gentile children. If it's gonna be generic, at least make it about killing children.

I agree nominating Shapiro will undo some of the papering etc. But I believe the other candidates share his views on I/P or maybe are even to his right on this; have the others been as vocal re: getting Netanyahu out?) but he’s the only one being blamed. And that’s bc he’s a Jew.

When we say “tech guys need the humanities too” we’re not talking about diluting the pool of Linus Torvalds with underwater basket weavers, we’re talking about arming them with enough literacy to comprehend Sci-Fi in a way that doesn’t get them sued by Scarlett Johansson

Again, this does not make your cause look not antisemitic.

Jewish activists are best positioned not only to reject unfair accusations of antisemitism but also point out real instances of antisemitism. They should receive support and trust in these efforts, not denigrated and cut out. It sometimes works like this, but should happen much more.
