Fantastic work from @JonahPlatt
"Full comprehension and command of these three concepts will safeguard moral clarity in an impregnable fortress — one that no amount of propaganda, social pressure, or institutional authority can breach.
The Three Pillars — A Summary
1. Palestinianism. When the Palestinian leadership decides they want a state more than they want Jews not to have one, the conflict will end. Everything else is noise.
2. Antizionism is not a rational intellectual position. It is the Othering of Jews from the Left — a racist anti-Jew hate movement. Set it. Forget it. Slam that door closed.
3. The Jeremiah Effect. The confusion, the isolation, the sense that reality has inverted — these are not signs of error. They are symptoms of rectitude. You are not lost. You are early.
Armed with a Mental Iron Dome, the work becomes clear: get out there and reclaim the truth from those who seek to deny it."

You're Not Lost. You're Early.
Read my new issue on the moral clarity in 2026, the Jeremiah Effect, and why the confusion, the isolation, and the sense that reality has inverted are not signs of error, but are symptoms of rectitude.👇
Learn about how antizionism racializes Jews in ways that are distinct from classical antisemitism.
These new and distinct, antizionist tropes pass under the radar of existing anti-discrimination frameworks, explaining the widespread failure to stem the tide of contemporary anti-Jewish hate.
Antizionism is a specific form of bigotry with a documented history.
The Movement Against Antizionism (MAAZ) exists to raise awareness about antizionist bigotry and confront it in the public sphere.
We encourage all those who oppose racism and discrimination to join us in this fight for truth and equal dignity.
Antizionism carries predictable social consequences wherever it rears its ugly head: the destruction and purging of Jewish communities.
Speak out now and encourage others to do so as well.
@IzaTabaro@ShMMor Andrew Pessin (@AndrewPessin) has been developing the Institute for the Critical Study of Antizionism (@InstituteCSA), something which legacy organizations could be supporting and amplifying.
I appreciate that Jonathan here is calling out antizionism. But the @ADL's understanding of the phenomenon and messaging remain confused and primitive, and not in line with contemporary scholarship.
Antizionism is not criticism of Israel and it doesn't "cross the line" into antisemitism. It is a parallel form of Jew-hatred distinct from classical antisemitism. It's a coherent and holistic ideology that can be directly named and condemned as such.
It's also unclear why the ADL has not removed the hyphen in antizionism when this has been standard in the field of contemporary antisemitism studies for a decade or longer.
