[quote=Anonymous]As someone who has a Jewish father most of my peers don't realize is Jewish, I have encountered chillingly casual antisemitism where I least expected it. Of course there are degrees. But when millions of people globally truly, gleefully want all Jews dead, it's understandable to develop a defensive posture even in your dorm room, workplace or on dcum.

Right now I have a few personal litmus tests: 
1. Do you believe Israel has a right to exist in a two-state solution or federation (ideally without settlements and led by someone more like Rabin than Bibi)? 
2. Do you acknowledge Hamas's barbarity—not as an afterthought but as an essential piece of the puzzle? 
3. Do you validate Jewish fears of mainstreaming anti-Semitism?

Most leftists in my orbit do not currently meet this minimum so I don't engage, even to discuss a ceasefire, which I support. They may not be antisemitic, but I believe their perspective is ultimately dangerous to the survival and safety of the Jewish people—especially when so much of the world is salivating for some kind of grand Jewish comeuppance, to put it mildly.
