“On May 3, 2022 the ADL website referred to the slogan as, ‘a slogan commonly featured in pro-Palestinian campaigns and chanted at demonstrations.'” he writes. “Nowhere in the 2022 description is there a mention of antisemitism…On October 26, 2023, the position on the website was changed to include, ‘is an antisemitic slogan’.”

Note the date. The slogan wasn't considered antisemitic before October. Don't fall for their bs. Pro-palestine does not mean antisemitic regardless of what these people want you to think.

Don't fall... For the Antidefamation Leagues bullshit regarding what qualifies as hate speech?

They're the defacto people who describe it in America lol.

Nah sorry I meant "their bs" in a more general sense. "They" as in anyone equating Israel criticism to antisemitism.
