“My critique of Rob Eshman’s recent column, ‘When Did Zionists Become Snowflakes?’ comes from a probably unexpected place. I am a Workers Circle leftist and am entirely at odds with the current Israeli government. Our perspectives are not opposite. But I believe that the reality is far more challenging, complicated, and informing than anything suggested by the ‘snowflake’ rhetoric Eshman utilizes.”

“The first question Mr. Biden’s working group should answer is whether it supports the IHRA definition. With clear guidance about what anti-Semitism means, federal agencies, as well as other jurisdictions and organizations such as colleges and universities, would then know what they should be looking out for. The public would also have a better understanding of how, when and where anti-Semitism is arising.”
