Video Description

While right-wing antisemitism can be easy to spot, there is a growing phenomenon among some left-wing activists who are promoting antisemitic tropes and stereotypes in the name of social justice. Armed with the assumption that the historically persecuted Jewish minority constitutes a “privileged” group, some social justice movements have begun to institute litmus tests for Jews in left-wing spaces, demanding that they denounce Israel before they can join the fight for other progressive causes.
