It pretty much focused on the UK, so there were a few times I was a bit out of my element. but most of the presentation I understood. Probably his best point was in his closing statement: The right wing can easily point out anti-Semitism on the left, and the left can easily point out anti-Semitism on the right, but when it comes to their own political camps, "they can't see it." I also like how it was incorporated into the rising tides of xenophobia and racism. He also points out the damage done by Jewish enablers and excuse makers of anti-Semitism, giving examples of Norman Finkelstein (left) and Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu (right). Recently, the ZOA (right-wing) did the same by having that shitstain, Hagee come and speak. Of course, being a gay man, I see the same fucking thing in regards to LGBT issues, with gays ignoring homophobia when it is a "leftie" and the Log Cabin Republicans giving cover to the likes of the squatter-in-chief and his disgusting, homophobic VP.
