And, as Klein discusses with great nuance and power, the antisemitism discussion is eroded from both sides: both by antisemites, and by doctrinaire #Zionists who insist that any criticism of Israel is always and ever antisemetic.
As a Jew in solidarity with Palestinians, I found this section of the book especially good - thoughtful *and* vigorous, pulling no punches and still capturing the discomfort aroused by this deliberately poisoned debate.

The #Overton window of acceptable debate in respect of #ApartheidIsrael is moving fast!
“Liberal #Zionists hit rock bottom on faith that #Israel will redeem itself” by Philip #Weiss in @mondoweiss
“For years the liberal Zionist position was, We stand with the better angels of Israel’s nature, Israel will redeem itself. And all they’ve gotten for that good faith is militant #JewishSupremacy.
Now that’s changing. American liberal Zionists are turning on Israel, thanks to the arrogance and extremism of the #Netanyahu government. They are denouncing #Israeli “#apartheid” and calling for boycotts and sanctions against Israel for its human rights abuses.”
[Rhetorical question: If even liberal Zionists are starting to acknowledge that Israel is an #Apartheid state & to call for Boycott Disinvestment & Sanctions (#BDS) to be enforced by the #US against #Netanyahu’s #NeoFascist regime, will the #IHRA definition of #AntiSemitism now quickly be revised to remove ‘criticism of the state of Israel’ from that definition?]

"The use of the term 'apartheid' for #Palestine is complicated. It's been used by 'liberal #zionists' and 'left-wing zionists' to try and make the issue of the #occupation of Palestine as solely a #racism one and not a #genocidal settler #colony #occupying land that is ours. However, the system in place within that occupation is factually one of #apartheid. South #Africans lived through the same thing and preferred the term apartheid. It's not like the white #people weren't occupying land that wasn't theirs either. Either way, considering countless South African #activisits including Nelson Mandela's grandson decided to go ahead and call the occupation of Palestine a system of apartheid, while calling it an occupation and declaring that ALL of Palestine should be free, it becomes silly to even try to argue with that, you just don't have a foothold."

"#Israel may be completely converting #Palestine into a desert, by uprooting its #families, and stripping it of #vegetation and #water It was not until after 1948 that 90% of #Israeli forests were grown, but non-Indigenous species constitute 89% of them. The majority of trees JNF boasts having planted, since nearly its inception, were non-Native evergreens, which devastated both local #communities and #ecosystems. For instance, #animals belonging to #Palestinian shepherds could not feed on greenery, after it was acidified by the shedding of Israeli pine needles. Besides, as evidenced by the most critical wildfire Israel experienced, in 2010, these are highly flammable trees. Israeli planted forests have even been termed ‘pine deserts’, by environmentalists, due to the ‘biological paucity’ they have caused. Furthermore, as Nathan notes, Indigenous carob and fruit trees, including more than 800,000 olive trees, since only 1967, were uprooted by Israel. In Israeli-occupied Palestine, 80% of the responsibility for a staggering 23% reduction in its forests, which occurred from 1971 to 1999, fell on Israeli colonialism and militarism. Only in 2001, the Israeli state uprooted 670,000 fruit and forestry trees there. In addition, research has shown that an-Naqab possibly began to experience desertification due to JNF afforestation. Yet, the ahistorical trope of ‘making the desert bloom’ continues to be widely proliferated by #Zionists, assisted by green colonies, to stifle Palestinian memory and erase the #Nakba."
