Anti-anti-Semitism
“Anti-Semitism” was once an unambiguous concept. It was, quite simply, racism directed against Jews. In recent decades, however, the concept has been repurposed to include criticisms of the State of Israel. Once taken for granted, the conflation of Israel-criticism with anti-Semitism is a subject of much controversy, particularly amongst American and Israeli Jewish liberals.
Seeing the invocation of anti-Semitism in these stickers, as part of a larger platform against discrimination, by a radical political organization, albeit an anti-fascist one, cannot help but stir a certain kind of nostalgia amongst Jews. Even among those on the right, who would inevitably bridle at the clichéd leftist rhetoric, but only because its logic still makes some sort of basic sense.

Joel, no Zionist commentator of any consequence says that any criticisms of Israel are antisemitic. I challenge you to name one. (Many do say that advocating the abolition of Israel is).
