I have watched that grow on the left since that time. It's a positional good. It hasn't nothing to do with sorting out justice, it's motive is to be seen as supporting the really really really oppressed. Not that imitation model oppression those others are touting.<br /><br />That antisemitism from the right must still be out there, because I see their comments on some sites. But I have literally only met one anti-semite who was not liberal, and that was an elderly Pole I met around 1980, who still remembered the "Jewish Communists" who had come in and wiped out his village in 1939.
