If the American camps are concentration camps then the following statement is also “true”: Arab states have kept Palestinian refugees in concentration camps for 71 years.
Antizionism as an ideology is rooted in rage. It is predicated on one concept: the negation of another people, a concept as alien to modern discourse as white supremacy. It requires a willful denial of even a superficial history of Judaism & the vast history of the Jewish people.
