I'm Jewish and a few people are weaponizing it. It's not exactly a new phenomenon. Haha

I have talked to some elder activists, and people who were politically active on the left back in the 1960s. They recounted leftist antisemitism then too. It's unfortunately a very old problem.

Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, truly a modern sage, marched with MLK, bearing the Torah scroll as he walked. He said it felt like his legs were praying. I aspire to be like him.

I didn't think a modern civil rights issue would mean yelling at people online. But I've been around long enough to know the language of the bully is the push, and anytime you want to get through to someone, you have to speak the language.
