While it's very important for progressives to monitor their own antisemitism when speaking for Palestinian rights, it's also very true that a lot of the discussion about antisemitism that shows up in the mainstream press is calculated to erase the fact that a lot of American Jews have been standing up in opposition to Israel's wholesale massacre of the Gaza Palestinians — and in some cases, Zionism as a whole.

In a statement responding to those recent antisemitic incidents, Columbia University Apartheid Divest Coalition, the student group coalition behind the campus encampments, condemned any form of hate or bigotry and “stand[s] vigilant against non-students attempting to disrupt the solidarity being forged among students — Palestinian, Muslim, Arab, Jewish, Black, and pro-Palestinian classmates and colleagues who represent the full diversity of our country.”

Shabbat for Ceasefire organizers like Sabrina Ellis, a junior at the University of Los Angeles, say they feel like they’ve found that solidarity with their fellow anti-Zionist Jewish peers. She and the other Jewish young people that spoke to Teen Vogue for this story say that, even in instances when there was no explicit hostility, anti-Zionist students feel alienated in mainstream Jewish spaces, which they say are mostly Zionist. “You can't agree to disagree on genocide,” Ellis says. 33-ee62b9db7d06.webp)___
