Good article, and I sort of guess that maybe the author is trying to make people of their own political stripe that they can care about this issue without being "antisemites", which I get. But the whole thing rings a little of "it's not enough to agree with me on an issue, you must do so for the right reasons". Which is a bit counterproductive. A lot of our current political issues are precisely because we've lost the ability to cooperate on shared interests that emerge from differing perspectives. Ironically, exactly the problem the author is facing.
