Has anybody else encountered fellow Jews who are in just plain denial about the increase in Jew hatred? Most of us seem to recognize what is happening but every so often I'd meet somebody who will be "what are you talking about, there isn't any rise in antisemitism" or some very left leaning Jew who just can't believe that the majority of antizionists aren't acting in good faith.

When nature conservation becomes a colonial crime: how Israel-hate hijacked environmntal sciences,
by Zsuzsanna Ujj, fathom, 2026-10.

Zsuzsanna Ujj maps how in certain segments of academia, Israel’s nature conservation efforts and measures to comply international environmental law are presented as green dispossession. The reintroduction of locally extinct native species is reframed as a hostile act, in which the Persian fallow deer is deployed as an ‘agent of normalization,’ used by the state to advance a ‘colonial conservation project.’

Environmental protection has long operated on a shared, global consensus: that safeguarding endangered habitats and species is an objective scientific good. Yet a quiet shift within Western academic literature is subverting this empirical foundation, turning the hard sciences of ecology, biodiversity conservation, as well as climate change mitigation and adaptation into an ideological weapon.

Academic antizionism has built three pillars that sustain its ideology: settler-colonialism as the main framework to understand environmental problems, denying the indigeneity of Jews in Palestine, and a romanticised picture of Indigenous Peoples.

Reputable scientific journals publish academic articles, where routine ecological management is no longer evaluated through biodiversity metrics, compliance with legal obligations, or resource sustainability; instead, it is systematically recast as an instrument of ‘green dispossession,’ ‘ecocide,’ and ‘colonial violence,’ particularly when taking place in Israel.

Antizionism is racism,
by Adam Louis-Klein, Thoughts from the centre of the universe (reprinted, by the author, from Hub Canada), 2026-10-15.

As the UK Green Party revives the infamous 1975 “Zionism is racism” resolution, [Adam Louis-Klein traces] the long history of Jewish tokenism in antizionist movements, from Soviet Russia to Iraq to the present. [He also examines] the wave of scholarly and advocacy initiatives confronting antizionism as a distinct hate movement.

This modern-day hate movement has deep historical roots

What Daniel Patrick Moynihan in 1975 called an “infamous act” has returned in our day. On Sunday, Oct. 4, as Jews were celebrating Simchat Torah, the same day on the Hebrew calendar that Hamas and other antizionist militias committed a genocide of Israelis three years earlier, the Green Party in the U.K. passed its own resolution declaring “Zionism is Racism.”

It is as if the Green Party wants to place itself in a lineage of antizionist propaganda, explicitly resuscitating the 1975 UN resolution that was pushed by the Soviet Union and the Arab League.

Notably, the Green Party rejected a resolution that would have stated that “This motion shall not be used to pressure, proscribe or discipline members based on affiliation with Jewish community institutions, such as synagogues, community centres or denominational groups, that describe themselves as Zionist…” In other words, the party explicitly rejected an amendment that would specify that the “Zionism is racism” resolution should not be used to discriminate against Jews. Discrimination is the point.
