To Combat Antisemitism, We Must Oppose Anti-Zionism—at Home and Abroad | Opinion

Last month, two Orthodox Jewish men were attacked with a smashed glass bottle as they closed up a shop they work at in north London. This vicious attack, which left both men in hospital, did not grab nearly as many international headlines as the Beth Israel synagogue siege in Colleyville, Texas, last month. But it, too, is a symptom of the growing wave of antisemitism which threatens Jews across the globe.

This is, of course, a law-enforcement issue. But it is also, and more importantly, an ideological battle, one that like climate change, terrorism or COVID-19, we have to fight across international boundaries.

To me, it's also deeply personal.
