I have the concentration of a hummingbird so forgive me if I misinterpreted your article.
Immediately before reading your article I read an Algemeiner article about anti-Semitism at Harvard. A more leftist institution would be hard to find. Yet it appears you devote a lot of your attention towards right-wing anti-Semitism. It is my opinion the far bigger problem is anti-Semitism from the Left. Be it from Obama and his administration, Biden and his, the MSM, the liberal NGOs, Europe, universities, you name it, it is the Left that has set the stage, that lies about us and Israel, that creates the false memes and the narratives. The right is a pittance by comparison.
I entirely agree that overall there is more antisemitism that is coming from the Left than the Right at the moment, though usually in more insidious ways. In fact I started this substack by writing about the NYT’s obsession with destroying yeshivot. The focus changed due to the Chappelle/Kyrie/Ye of it all, though I wouldn’t necessarily call their antisemitism right-wing, only that they allied with it. That’s what the whole marriage between NoI/BHI with the far-right is about. My last piece on this was directly about the intersection of mental illness and bigotry, and how to deal with them according to Torah, not something that has to do either with the left or the right. The part I wrote about how we have the clearest example that when people say Zionist they usually mean Jews is most definitely a reference to LW antisemitism, since that’s the most common tactic to couch their hatred.
I don’t plan on touching this particular quadruplet much longer, I feel like I’ve covered all angles of this and don’t see the need to revisit this for the time being. Overall, I feel like the winds have turned because of this and that we will see far more good than the opposite, and it’s time to concentrate on other subjects…
Very glad we found each others here! Taking care of your mental health is 1000% more important than the bird app and it’s great you took a step like that...

Apologies if I misunderstood your message.

I used to follow you on Twitter but I uninstalled it as it wasn't good for my mental health. Looking forward to following you on substack. 🤓
