Why Is It So Hard to Talk About Antisemitism?
Q: You mentioned that anti-Zionism can be anti-Semitic. Can you give us examples?
Anti-Zionism that claims Jews in Israel should be expelled or characterized as controlling the world can cross into anti-Semitism.
Why Is It So Hard to Talk About Antisemitism?
Q: If someone says that Israel does not have the right to exist as the state for the Jews, is that anti-Semitic?
It's complex, as the statement could be an argument against nationalism rather than outright anti-Semitism, depending on context.

Q: Elad, how would you define anti-Semitism?
Anti-Semitism can be viewed as a mythos that people use to understand the world, often blaming Jews for societal problems through conspiracy theories.
