      Whether or not you think Lewis is a radical, the idea that people accusing him of being a communist are being antisemitic is pretty nonsensical given that Justin Trudeau was regularly accused of being a communist 

      That’s just a common accusation for non-conservatives, and the further left you get the more it gets bandied about, regardless of the religious or ethnic identity of the person in question

      Relatedly, it is a bit funny to watch staunchly pro-Israel people trip over themselves to argue how the party that just soundly elected a Jewish leader and party president is somehow the most anti-Semitic party in the country.

      I disagree with the framing of the article tbh.

      The people (falsely) attacking Lewis as an antisemite for being anti-Zionist are absolutely being antisemitic themselves – whether they acknowledge it or not – but it’s in a *general* sense, rather than directing said antisemitism at Lewis as an individual Jewish person. It would still be antisemitic for them to do that if Avi was a non-Jewish anti-Zionist, for example. And while the Judeo-Bolshevik trope is certainly antisemitic, I disagree that that’s what’s being employed here, really. It’s just generic anti-socialism.

      What is this article even trying to say? It’s all over the place, and the headline is misleading. This comment section isn’t even based on the contents of the article. Oh, and I guess if you take the writers‘ opinions at face value, Wab Kinew uses antisemitic dog whistles.

      The idea that many will espouse that it’s anti semitic to denounce Israel’s actions against Palestine is already absurd. The fact that those same people will do it against someone who is openly Jewish is bordering on comical.

      This whole thing of Jews policing other Jews for not being Jewish enough (whatever that means) or Zionists is absolutely and patently absurd.

      Does the article offer any evidence of discriminatory remarks against him, or does it just think any criticism towards his policies are antisemitic?

      The anti-semitism against Lewis is coming from INSIDE the Jewish community. Avi is open about his disdain (rightfully so) for the genocide being perpetrated against Palestinians. He has openly acknowledged the inhumanity, criminality that is being perpetuated against Palestinians. Avi joins the list of people like Miss Rachel for being some pro-Zionist propaganda material that labels them „anti-semite of the day“.

      Honestly, when you’re anti-genocide and you get called an anti-semite, it means you’re a) having an effect and b) doing the right thing.

      It’s like when MAGA/far-right nationalists accuse you of being Anti-Fascist…yeah…I oppose authoritarianism. Don’t you?

      I think it’s important to note that if you’re using the strict definition of Zionism, then anti Zionism is at least a big „fuck you“ to the Jewish people. Jerusalem/Israel is a central part of their cultural practice that saying they don’t deserve to return there (again, strict definition, „Jewish (late 19th/early 20th) nationalism) isn’t exactly an inclusive thing to say.

      There’s a movement that resists the nationalist idea because it would rather see a Soviet style universal society, and Avi’s parents belonged to that so it’s not surprising he does as well. But as a public figure people are allowed to publicly disagree with him.
