In a moment where pro-Israel watchdogs are weaponizing antisemitism to attack organizers, students, educators, public schools, and the broader infrastructure of the left, this interactive workshop will explore the historical roots of how antisemitism began to be weaponized against the left, how antisemitism was redefined as criticism of Israel, and why the collapse of the Zionist consensus has accelerated its use as a tool of repression.

This workshop is a collaboration between Philly DSA and Rethinking Schools and will be facilitated by Adam Sanchez, managing editor of Rethinking Schools and co-editor of Teaching Palestine: Lessons, Stories, Voices.
