Ecuador’s election wasn’t free — and its people will pay the price under President Noboa

THE government of Israel and its supporters make increasingly wild allegations of anti-semitism against anyone who thinks Israeli troops killing thousands of civilians is bad. By recklessly hitting the “anti-semitism” button, supporters of Israel’s war on Gazan civilians risk making the charge meaningless.
I think the stupidity of this pro-war propaganda actually puts an extra duty on anti-war protesters to make efforts to stop any drift into anti-semitic attitudes at the fringes of our movements.
Enthusiasts for the war on Gaza aren’t worried about “crying wolf” because they aren’t so interested in suppressing prejudice in the West — they just want to increase the bombing in the Middle East. But the struggle against racist prejudice of all kinds is vital to the left and anti-war movements, it’s something we have to keep up.
