When you so publicly took on the censorious trans activists in 2016, or the neurotic feminists in 2018, despite the fact that those groups labelled you a bigot and even Nazi, you responded to them calmly and rationally.
You didn't call these lefitsts a fraction of the names you now reserve for the online "antisemites", despite how they were actively seeking to get you fired, deplatformed, and have now actually managed to hand you a professional censure.
In fact, in several instances, where they would allow it, you actually sat down to converse with them. To debate their ideas.
But when it comes to critics of Israel, it seems like your go-to is instead ad hominem attacks. And despite your preference for "precise" language (and yes, to the lesser extent there do exist actual trolls), it seems that you like many others are falling into the trap of equating anti-Zionism with antisemitism.
Where are the rational rebuttals to those who question Israel's role in Western politics? You might say they don't warrant your time, but either this "antisemitism" is a worrying, growing trend, or it is beneath you to address. It cannot logically be both, and if it is indeed not worthy of a response, it is strange that you spend so much time online chastising them.

I thought her other comment was good too.
