Since my op-ed in the Forward on has been well-received, I thought I’d throw together a list of my writings that specifically address issues of  antisemitism and left-wing movements. (A list of all of my recent work is here).

My most comprehensive, and possibly final, statement on the matter of Left Antisemitism is here:
“Looking Left at Antisemitism,” Journal of Social Justice, vol. 9, June 2020

Other articles and videos of mine that address antisemitism in various ways on both the Left and Right include:

“Is It Antisemitic to Call Landlords ‘Parasites’?” Patreon, April 2020
I was asked if it was antisemitic to call landlords “parasites.” I said you’re not going to get in trouble for this, but you should understand the reason that this might happen: because the role that producerism, personification, and the critique of finance capital plays in antisemitic discourse.
