...author later argues that calling anti-Zionism "anti-Semitism" is a dangerously false parallel that creates anti-Semitism. By Matory’s logic, anti-Zionists will be "required" to hate Jews if "Israel??s defenders convince the world that...Jewish people are uniform in their opinions about Israel and its policies." Of course, no such effort among "Israel??s defenders" exists, and, if it did, there would surely be plenty of Jews—self-professed anti-Zionists among them—to undermine it.

...Israel and Censorship at Harvard,” op-ed, Sept. 14), as any review of what I have written will demonstrate.

One result: Israel has now withdrawn from Gaza, an action that Summers slammed Harvard and MIT professors as anti-Semitic for even contemplating...
...Thus, my concerns about Zionism are motivated by neither pro-Arab nor anti-Jewish bias, but by the fear that those who dismiss all anti-Zionism as anti-Semitism—or, equally often, as Jewish self-hatred—risk creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. If Israel??s defenders convince the world that all legitimately Jewish people are Zionists and that Jewish people are uniform in their opinions about Israel and its policies, then the convinced will conclude that condemning Israel or its policies requires them to hate Jewish people...
