Excellent article. The problem as I see it, is the hierarchy of racism that prioritises Judeaphobia over all other prejudices. Two point can be made here:firstly, much of this can be attributed to European guilt for the many pogroms, culminating in the nazi holocaust ; secondly, Jews in Europe and the zionist colonisers are white. Thus ironically , in the action of prioritising white zionist Jews, liberal commentators and politicians are revealing their own racism

What needs to happen is to ditch the term antisemitism. It's not only heavily loaded but also inaccurate. Jews are not a race. Judeaphobia is a more accurate term for such bigotry.

In the global south, no such guilt is apparent and, therefore, they see straight through all the zionist can't. In South Africa, for example, Isreal is seen as a rogue, apartheid state.

Corbyn and his supporters mistake was to respond to the witch hunt by trying to prove negative.

We need to cut the collective guilt trip.
