All they’re achieving with this is that from now on, whenever I see someone accused of anti-Semitism, I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt, something that used to make me distrust that person, but no longer does.
This is a tad reductive. Like someone else said, the goal is fear and intimidation. They are hoping that the harassment she receives affects her kids and forces here to leave the public eye and subsequently silence another voice of opposition.
That’s not true and you know it. They’re achieving exactly what they set out to achieve: violence and hate against this woman and her family to bully her, and others, into shuttering support for Palestine.
Why do you assume it’s not true? I’m speaking from my own experience and no one else’s. Four or five years ago, when a public figure was called anti-Semitic, I assumed they were a Nazi; now I either investigate the matter further or ignore the accusation.
