"In an era of conflicting identities and the rise of identity politics, it is not surprising that the ancient scourge of antisemitism would find new expression. In recent months we have seen it flourish on the secular left and the nationalist right, as well as the usual corners of Islamism. Christians have a duty to see that it does not spread in our own communities."
The author doesn't identify any actual examples of antisemitism coming from the "secular left." The real dangers are from the right. Christian allies of Jews should focus on reality.
@Nochem @keithzg The article isn't about antisemitism in the Right or the Left or among Muslims [0] -- it's about how Christians should reject antisemitism as such, and among fellow Christians. It claims that antisemitism is contrary to what Christianity teaches, citing St. Paul and others to that effect.
[0] Maybe the quote I pulled out misleads regarding the thesis of the article...
@mpjgregoire It's simple, I see someone use the deliberately very loaded term "Islamism", especially still using it in the year of your lord 2024, and it tells me a LOT about that someone. And if "Islamism" exists, certainly "Christianism" does — and that side of the past decades has a demonstrably higher body count.
@keithzg Ah, so you think Fr. De Souza would have been more accurate if he had written about anitsemitism recently flourishing also in "the usual corners of Muslim groups." Is that right?
