  • I could potentially imagine a world in which the document is a good faith attempt at having an extremely nuanced discussion about the ways that antisemitic tropes might seep into otherwise legitimate pro-palestinian discourse. And that would have been a very useful document indeed. I could bring myself to imagine such a world if the BfV had a similar document that does an equally thorough job at uncovering all the ways anti-Palestinian racism, islamophobia and jewish-supremacist and genocidal language enters the pro-Zionist discourse. But instead, what this document does do, is to always put Palestinian resistance in scare quotes, to always frame pro-Palestinian advocacy as suspect and illegitimate. There is no context in which Palestinian grievances are taken seriously, at face value. Instead we get this document, a monument of BfV’s actually extremist anti-Palestinian frame-setting.
