🧵Over the last few weeks I’ve watched some of my worst predictions come true about the destructive effects of conspiracist antizionism and the fear & loathing of Israel that have taken over portions of the left in recent years. It didn’t start in recent years of course - it’s simply when it all finally exploded to the surface.
I know about it personally because I was born & raised in the USSR, where these ideas were born & propagated. I’ve been researching it since 2019.
Here’s a 🧵 of everything I’ve written about it, in chronological order: How & why these ideas were developed, what effect they had on the lives of Soviet Jews, how they got pushed out to the global left & the developing world—and how it all relates to us today. Some of these pieces are now taught at universities. Several are part of book collections.
We can’t understand the explosion of anti-Jewish hate & support of Hamas that we are seeing in the US today unless we understand this history.
