64. To use your vernacular, it is mass dickishness, not individual dickishness I am talking about

And it is not both sides that I am concerned with: while antisemitism is well known, well covered and not denied by the right, this is not the case on the left. So it is the left in particular, where antisemitism is alarmingly evident but rarely acknowledged by the perpetrators that I am, not as much singularly as emphatically, focused on. I am calling out the bigots who deny being bigots.

Frankly, I don't give a rat's ass whether it comes from the right or the left. The consequences are identical to me. And your notion of the left somehow being immune from antisemitism by definition doesn't stand the test of the reality that I live in. You are essentially telling me that the antisemitism my sorry Semitic ass experiences on a regular basis does not exist. My sorry Semitic ass knows better.

To quote Chico Marx, who am I gonna believe, you or my lying eyes?
