    “No true leftist is antisemitic.”

    A strawman inventing a no true Scotsman? That’s impressively fallacious 😄

    I didn’t and indeed have never claimed that there are any antisemites on the Left. Unfortunately, a lot of people on the Left are starting from the point of “the country (incorrectly) claiming to be representative of all Jewdom has been committing unspeakable atrocities for a century” and being misled from there down rabbit holes that sometimes go all the way to ACTUALLY antisemitic conspiracy theory nonsense.

    That being said, those people are a tiny minority, and your two examples from the days of disco and earlier don’t prove otherwise.
