Noura Erakat (https://twitter.com/4noura), a Palestinian Human Rights Lawyer and Assistant Professor at Rutgers University, New Brunswick in the Department of Africana Studies and the Program in Criminal Justice lays out how pretending that anti-zionism is antisemitism obscures the way that antisemitism was created by White Supremacy. She also lays out what makes Palestine Unique and what it shares with other anti-colonial struggles and what makes Israel so anachronistic.
