The Left turns on the only member who admits Roger Waters is an antisemite

As I write this on Monday night, I have seen only one anti-Zionist Leftist explicitly call out Roger Waters’ blatant antisemitism and lies, Mairav Zonszein.     Leftist Jewish groups mostly retweeted a very generic tweet that sort of implied distaste at his words without mentioning Waters’ name, so their readers could easily have thought that they were talking...

CJR article by a leftist attacking The Forward ends up damning the Left more than its target

Mairav Zonszein, the far left writer who I have shown on numerous occasions to be intellectually dishonest, does it again - but this time for what most people consider a prestigious journal, the Columbia Journalism Review. In short, her piece attacks The Forward for not being leftist enough. (The subtitle is "How America's Jewish newspaper lost the left.") Now, I have...

Leftists say philo-semitism is antisemitism. That means Judaism itself is antisemitic, and the circle is complete.

Mairav Zonszein at +972Mag, criticizes a Tel Aviv speech by Elan Carr. Elan Carr, the State Department’s special envoy for monitoring and combating anti-Semitism,  told a group of Israelis and Americans Tuesday night that in order to combat anti-Semitism, teaching the Holocaust is not enough. The U.S., he believes, needs to “educate on philo-Semitism.” This is too much for Zonszein, who then articulates a still new concept of the Left...

Trump's IAC speech is a Rorschach test of the Jewish left

Here is just one of many reactions to President Trump's speech at the IAC National Summit last night: He so perfectly exposes how the pro-Israel industry is rooted in commodifiying, tokenizing and instrumentalizing Jews and how the JudeoChrsitian Zionist ethos is essentially antiSemitic https://t.co/LOP0YRbFfW — Mairav Zonszein מרב זונשיין (@MairavZ) December 8, 2019 Let's...

No, @MairavZ, neo-Nazis and white supremacists love BDS

A tweet from far left Mairav Zonszein: Anti-Semitic crime and hate crime rose by 20% last year in Germany. The report found that nine in 10 anti-Semitic offenses were committed by people on the far-right - the same ones that support the anti-BDS resolution.https://t.co/BSYbHsbeZM — Mairav Zonszein מרב זונשיין (@MairavZ) May 20, 2019 First of all, she gives incomplete...

So-called "journalists" don't like to be held to their own standards

An interesting Twitter discussion yesterday started off with this Jeffrey Goldberg tweet about a Haaretz article on how the Times of Israel co-founder has given lots of money to CAMERA, which is highly critical of Haaretz. Here is some of the discussion: A subthread opened up from Mairav Zonszein, who styles herself as a journalist and has published in The Guardian,...

Sure abortions are easy in Israel, but they aren't liberal enough in NYT op-ed

+972 writer Mairav Zonszein scores an NYT op-ed by coming up with a brand new way to bash Israel: I KNEW Israeli law required that all abortions be approved by a committee. I also knew that the procedure was widely accessible. I’d never heard of an Israeli woman being denied an abortion (as opposed to say, a divorce, which must be granted by the husband in a religious court). So I never really gave it much thought, until I found myself sitting...

Mairav Zonszein's hate for Israel

During Rosh Hashanah, the New York Times published an op-ed  by Mairav Zonszein called "How Israel Silences Dissent." The op-ed goes through various alleged examples of how "Israel" - which may be the government, but mostly Israeli society- have "silenced" Israel's radical Left during the summer war. One example that Zonszein uses illustrates the problem with this essay...
