Dearest Readers and Supporters:
Oy, have I been writing All About This for too many years. But such work remains important, even transcendent. I DO think that too many newcomers (Melanie is not among them) are posting in a fine frenzy, definitely once, often twice a day. I admit it: Even my eyes glaze over. Please forgive me. And allow me to give another shoutout on behalf of a real resistance movement. I am talking about Feminists Against Antisemitism. Founded by both Christians and Jews, they have taken on evil with clarity and persistence. They are based in the UK. While all else is foundering in the Land of my Language–they are Brits who Give a Damn. Carry on, beloved Sisters.
When progressives are anything but
Fighting the hate with Feminists Against Antisemitism
Jun 09, 2026
I was very pleased to take part in a webinar with a great group of women, Feminists Against Antisemitism, to discuss my new book, Fighting the Hate: A Handbook for Jews Under Siege. Members of this group — who include non-Jews as well as Jews — have been targeted by vicious, twisted attacks on them over their support for the truth and justice of Israel’s cause.
They have been particularly shocked and distressed to find that feminists they had assumed were on their side as open-minded and enlightened were anything but. I know the feeling.
We discussed that as well as other questions about Israel and colonialism, anti-Zionism, and the importance of forming alliances between Jews and non-Jews in fighting this great evil of our time.
