Yet another brilliant Elder essay — and one, I think, that coheres well with the Movement Against Antizionism and the Institute for the Critical Study of Antizionism’s efforts to “change the framework” and “invert the lens,” and focus not on the targets of hatred and violence (the Jews) but on racists and haters whose ideology is producing the hatred and violence …. @maazaction @InstituteCSA @elderofziyon From Progressiveness to Hate open.substack.com/pub/eldero…

What I find riveting about this clip is not that Sarah Wilkinson doesn't see Israelis as human—it's a given for people whose entire worldview is built around a Manichean spiritual dichotomy in which Palestine/Gaza stands for good and Israel/Jews for evil. What's genuinely worth noting here are the last few seconds of the clip, where she says that she glimpsed Gaza right before the cruel Israeli monsters so abruptly ended her quest. It's that twinkle in her eye and the swelling music that reveal the real meaning of Gaza for her: Gaza as the Holy Grail, an object of longing, a source of redemption for her and for all humanity, the closest thing to a divine revelation she's ever been granted. The sense we get from those last few seconds is that, simply by glimpsing Gaza, she reached a level of spiritual transcendence that she will cherish for the rest of her life. And it's the sweetness of that moment, of redemption so tantalizingly within one’s grasp, that is going to bring her back, for one doesn’t abandon the holy quest simply because agents of Satan stand in one's way. Indeed, the greater the obstacles to redemption, the more resolutely one must persevere. @RachelMoiselle has written about Palestinianism as a replacement faith for post-Catholic Irish. @HusseinAboubakr has a tour de force of a piece out now on Palestine as a symbol whose meaning changes depending on which groups and causes attach themselves to it. This clip is an illustration of what both of them are talking about. I hope there are people out there studying Palestinianism as a psycho-spiritual phenomenon. It has to be one of the most fascinating subjects of inquiry today.

An Incredible Essay from MAAZ

The special issue of American Psychologist on antisemitism (a flagship APA journal) is out. I think some of its editors quit due to the an American Psychologist special issue on "decolonial and liberation psychologies" that contained vitriolic rhetoric against so-called "Zionist psychologies". Three papers reports several interesting findings that should inform public discussions on the relation between Antizionism and Antisemitism.

Interesting how academic institutions suddenly discover “process” and “review” when Jews organize a conference on antisemitism. Where is this careful oversight when campuses platform antizionist propaganda, Marxist grievance politics, “resistance” rhetoric, and ideologies that glorify violence against Israel and Jews? Apparently, antisemitism can be normalized freely. But examining antisemitism honestly requires supervision. The rot in academia is not just in the classroom. It is in the leadership.

In the trend, an organization would create a “street interview” skit. In the skit, a member would ask a participant if they would come to the organization’s event. When the participant says “no,” they are grabbed and taken away by other organization members. The “interviewer” then moves on to other individuals who enthusiastically share that they will attend the event and are not forcibly removed from the scene. cair.com/press_releases/brea… Canada: U of Guelph Chabad hit with antisemitic graffiti: “Death to israhell” cbc.ca/news/canada/kitchener… ===== Thurs June 4 UCLA Court Grants UCLA Jewish Faculty’s Motion to Join DOJ Title VII Case Against the University of California.

This very same week, according to @MikaHackner, Qatar sent notices that it's shutting down Qatar Foundation International, its US-based arm. This isn't a coincidence. QFI has been the subject of scrutiny lately over its influence on K-12 schools, garnering comparisons to the Chinese Confucius Institutes. Now, it seems, Qatar is opting instead for direct partnerships with HBCUs signed out of Doha. I doubt Qatar will actually end its efforts to influence K-12 — it'll just use another mechanism to do so. x.com/EFischberger/status/20… U of Toronto Massey College: complicated story, but what appears to be an attempt by leadership at Massey College to censor a major conference on antisemitism, leading to the resignation of one of its senior fellows: I received a note from Peter Biro, a Toronto lawyer and longtime senior fellow at the University of Toronto’s Massey College, that provided a tangible example of the harm. Biro, facing what appears to have been an attempt by Massey College leadership to censor a major antisemitism conference planned for this fall, resigned his fellowship rather than succumb to it. Biro proposed, organized, and committed to personally fund a one-day conference, “Antisemitism in Our ‘Free and Democratic Society’: A Canary’s Song,” co-presented with the Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights and featuring Deborah Lipstadt, Deborah Lyons, and Irwin Cotler, among others. According to his resignation letter, which I am sharing here with his permission, the College told him it had never approved the event and insisted on appointing an advisory committee to review, curate, and approve a version of the program that fit the College’s “mission and approach.” When he asked who had raised concerns and whether such a committee had any precedent, he says he received no answer. Biro calls the stated objection false and a pretext. The real concern, he argues, is the substance: how antisemitism would be examined, by whom, and whether a human rights centre founded by a Jewish and Zionist lawyer was an acceptable partner. An academic institution responded to a conference on antisemitism, organized by one of its own fellows and featuring some of the world’s most notable antisemitism scholars, by insisting that an oversight committee was needed to decide whether the subject was being handled appropriately. x.com/mgeist/status/20622477… UK: one in four British undergrads say ‘Oct 7 is defensible’ thejc.com/news/uk/british-un… Spain K-12: Spanish Authorities Probe Madrid School Over Anti-Israel Play Featuring Children Dressed as Hamas-Like Gunmen algemeiner.com/2026/06/03/sp… x.com/kikas6652/status/20624…
