Alan Dershowitz, the liberal that "progressives" love to hate, is experiencing the modern day method of how the woke crowd silences those with whom they disagree. AD was falsely accused of having been involved with Epstein. He is to go to the U of Miami and speak about supporting Israel, a position which the anti-Semites, nearly all of which are associated with the dem party, cannot countenance, so they have brought up an assortment of false accusations to try and intimidate him. Even the campus newspaper, wanting to be unhindered by any responsibility to exercise true journalism, has repeated the claims. AD refuses to be intimidated and will speak, but you can be sure that other venues across the country will have second thoughts about inviting him since cowardice is now the order of the day.

We must not back down under any circumstances.

I refuse to be cancelled based on a false accusation that I have conclusively disproved factually and that has been withdrawn legally.
The problem is that other universities, fearing protests, will not invite me to defend Israel.
Already several invitations have been rescinded and others have not been extended.
If that continues to happen, then the mendacious anti-Israel accusers like Canes for Palestine, will have won — and truth and the open marketplace of ideas will have lost.

This wave of Jewish-hatred has caught me completely off guard. I certainly did not see it coming at all.

A leopard never changes it's spots . The problem is the left has successfully been able to make distinctions between forms of socialism . The truth of the matter is there is not a dime's worth of difference between international or universal socialism (communism) and national socialism(Nazi) . The left has always harbored antisemitism

('Antisemitism and the left: On the return of the Jewish question.' by Robert Fine and Phillip Spencer)

"Universalism has always shown two faces to the world: one emancipatory and inclusionary, the other repressive and exclusionary. Jewish experience of universalism has been correspondingly equivocal. Antisemitism and the left provides an original and stimulating study of modern antisemitism, tracing the intellectual and political struggles between these two opposed perspectives. At times, universalism has acted as a stimulus for Jewish emancipation, for civil, political and social inclusion. But it has also been used to justify hatred of Jews, depicting them as hostile to the entire human race, in ways even more sinister than those found in pre-modern and largely Christian traditions of anti-Judaism. A key feature of this repressive and exclusionary universalism and the distinctly modern form of antisemitism it has generated has been the construction of a putative 'Jewish question', which somehow needs to be 'solved'.
Antisemitism and the left (oapen.org)

Zionism and Israel(a so called modern imperial colonial state ) has just given them an excuse to brush off their hatreds .

The left forgets that it was Lenin and Stalin who claimed Jewish was not a national identity ;and that Jews did not deserve their own state.

"The question of national autonomy for the Russian Jews consequently assumes a somewhat curious character: autonomy is being proposed for a nation whose future is denied and whose existence has still to be proved!”

(Lenin )
It makes sense . Jewish as a national identity is completely at odds with the left's vision of abolishment of the national state .

The hypocrisy of this issue is amazing. The very crowd who loves to advocate for DEI issues when it comes to men who claim to be women have turned out to be capable of a breath-taking hatred of Jewish people. Even more amazing is the fact that many American Jews will continue to support the dem party despite the fact that it is the home base of most anti-Semites.
