Kathmandu— A prominent writer argues that opposition to the genocide in Gaza and the West Bank is not antisemitic, refuting the common charge that critics of Israeli policies hate Jews, and traces the historical misuse of the term 'antisemitism' to silence dissent against Israeli state actions since 1948.

Misrepresentation of Public Opinion

The author criticizes the Democratic Party leadership for misrepresenting public opinion, claiming that the party's top officials represent the political center despite being supported by only 1.8% of eligible voters.

This misrepresentation, the author argues, is part of a broader strategy to maintain donor influence while ignoring the will of the electorate, particularly on issues like the genocide in Gaza.

The article concludes with a call for Americans to recognize the U.S. role in enabling the genocide and to stop withholding consent for the use of American resources in the conflict.
