On 10 October 2006 I gave a talk in Madison, Wisconsin. I talked about the Livingstone Formulation and I talked about contemporary antisemitism. One woman who was there declared that she regularly gets accused of antisemitism when all she really does is criticize Israel. I asked her what exactly it was that she said for which she was accused of antisemitism. She became a bit less specific. She said it was only that she had supported a campaign in Madison to divest from Israel. That woman was Jennifer Loewenstein, who is the Associate Director of the Middle East Studies Program at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. She is a member of the board of the Israeli Coalition against House Demolitions-USA branch, founder of the Madison-Rafah Sister City Project and a freelance journalist. She has just written a piece in Counterpunch, a publication which often includes antisemitic rhetoric. Loewenstein's piece includes the following passage:

Let us not reflect too much on what all this means. How, for example, would the 47-year-old Sapir College student like to know that his death has been far more useful to his State than his life? For in death he provided another pretext to carry out mass murder of the Arab Untermenschen blocking the otherwise pleasant view to the sea in the southeastern Promised Land. His death challenged the Israeli rules of combat: the "We kill and You Die" warfare, the only type allowed by the Neo-Jewish Masters and their allies in the United States who have no intention of making a just peace with the lower forms of life in their midst.The sanctimonious demand that the Qassams must be stopped is a deliberate lie intended to make you forget that the Qassams provide a near fool-proof pretext for grabbing more of Gaza and setting more of it to ruin; and that the Qassams are the result of systematic national torture and evisceration, borne themselves of occupation, caused by it, improved upon by periods of siege, sadism and mass killing.

Peace would require relinquishing regional hegemony. Peace would demand sharing the land and the resources equally. Peace might, heaven forbid, require democratic decision making in a region where the Israelis are not better, more entitled, more deserving of Their Way than everyone else in the neighborhood. Well, sorry, but these are not on Israel's agenda. The leaders of the hapless Sderot student's racially pure dreamland are grateful for his dying: Now the angry flames of intolerance can burn on feverishly. Into those flames the bodies of each dead Gazan man, woman or child should be flung, like books, to consecrate the ritual, the burnt offering, of those who owe the latter-day Israelites their Modern Day Zion. In Holy Victimhood shall We Reign Supreme.

In all honesty, I wasn't really convinced in 2006 that she was accused of antisemitism only for criticizing Israel.
