Great post. I’m going to defend Chuck a bit here for two reasons


First, he has such a great name. And second, the ADL, the original poster who linked their report, and good old Tuck all accepted calls for disinvestment as anti-Semitic.
The point you so well-made in this post that I’m responding to is one that I am highly sensitive to and not just in this context. Being critical of what somebody says or does is completely different than hating someone for who he or she is. One is either a difference of opinion, or a fact based argument against, and the other is bigotry, whether racism, anti-Semitism, homophobia, misogyny, etc
