JVP & PARCEO: On Antisemitism, Anti-Zionism and Dangerous Conflations
According to Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP):
Right now, there’s a lot of pain and fear and grief in our interwoven communities. And as our multiracial, multi-faith movements rise in powerful solidarity with Palestinians, violent rightwing forces are going to try to divide us, attack us, and pit us against each other. Being clear and ready to defend against threats on any one of our communities is essential to staying unified, safe, and powerful as a movement.
We worked with our partners at the PARCEO resource and education center to offer some explainers for ourselves and our beautiful movement, for how to dismantle antisemitism in this moment while also resisting the intentional and dangerous conflations that harm our intersectional movements for justice and put our communities at risk. We keep us safe!
In recent and older discussions on Israeli policies of oppression, occupation and apartheid, we often see a conflation of accusations about antisemitism and criticism towards the Israeli policies, but also how that criticism sometimes indeed results in forms of antisemitism. This brief explainer by JVP and PARCEO is a very useful and important one.
