""When I think about my future in the country, my family's future in this country, I am so much more threatened by people who are opposed to pluralism,""
""Our traditions of liberal pluralism are why Jews have thrived in the United States.""
""They can't reconcile the Jewish state with their commitments to pluralism," Goldberg said. "They basically say every state should be a state for all of its citizens. You can argue with that. You can say it's naïve. But I fundamentally do not find it threatening.""
Anti-Zionism does not necessarily equal antisemitism. Forcing Jewish Americans to disavow the movement for a Jewish nation is antisemitic. Opposition to pluralism poses a significant threat to Jewish life and future in the United States. Some critics of Israel have been unfairly labeled as antisemites. Certain critics argue that every state should be for all its citizens, a position described as potentially naïve but not inherently threatening. Antisemitic activity and hostility appear more pronounced on the political right, including extremist online chats. Tensions over free speech, hate speech, social conservatism, and immigration shape contemporary political and social risks.
