Why Are Some Progressives Excusing Antisemitism? 📱

Anti-Semitism is rising, yet many progressives who would never tolerate racism, Islamophobia, homophobia, or other forms of bigotry seem increasingly willing to excuse anti-Jewish rhetoric when it is wrapped in the language of anti-Zionism or anti-Israel activism.

Tonight we're having a difficult but necessary conversation.

Where is the line between legitimate criticism of the Israeli government and hostility toward Jews? Why are some political figures and activists given a pass for rhetoric, associations, or behavior that would trigger outrage in any other context? And why do so many American Jews feel increasingly alienated from parts of the political coalition they have long called home?

We'll discuss:

• The difference between criticizing Israel and attacking Jews

• Why "Zionist" is increasingly being used as a slur

• Double standards in political discourse

• The Zohran Mamdani controversy and broader questions it raises

• Why many Jewish Americans feel gaslit by the current debate

• How progressives can fight antisemitism without abandoning their values

Join us live for an honest conversation about a subject that too many people would rather avoid.
