Here's just a sample
"The answer they would no doubt give themselves — that it is Israel’s occupation of the Palestinians that drives their actions — can’t possibly account for things like the a-historical nature of their critiques, the tolerance and excuses for violent resistance against civilians, and the sheer vitriol unleashed on Jewish students. For this reason, the mystery of the social justice movement’s embrace of radical pro-Palestinian groups and their corresponding rejection of Israel is usually explained as nothing more complicated than anti-Semitism, albeit cloaked in the new language of anti-Zionism.
It’s certainly true that some of the more nefarious groups operating on college campuses are anti-Semitic. But there’s another historical explanation for how the feminists, the LGBTQ activists, the racial justice activists and the Palestinians ended up in bed together, one that is in some ways even more disturbing than the simple charge of anti-Semitism."
