Jews should unburden themselves of both the faith in a general agreement of what “antisemitism” is and that it is bad along with the broader anti-discrimination framework within which that faith is embedded. Once that is done it would be possible to reconstruct what has come

to be called “antisemitism” as an incoherent archive of libels and slanders, incitements, and frauds drawn upon to position oneself as as opposed to power. This would move the politics away from being anti-anti (semitism, Judaism, Zionism) with its attempts to persuade, to

Plead, to shame, to actionable framings of events and operations. And the unity replacing the anti-antis relies upon a positioning of the Jewish as an insistence on coherent power chains and a robust judicial structure—interests all Jews share (and share with most non-Jews)

and to which they can testify. Rather than playing defense you can go on the offensive and gather real allies—so, rather than anti-antizionism, for example, work to criminalize “Palestine,” as a model for countering a wide range of criminal conspiracies.
