In-depth analysis, commentary, and news about antisemitism on the left and efforts to combat it.

Why we are returning to action

We are returning because the volume and intensity of antisemitic rhetoric, and the willingness to excuse it, has risen sharply again, including in spaces that describe themselves as anti racist.
