Without wanting to enter the debate about Campbell's putative anti-semitism, whether one "should" care about it, and so on, I do want to ask, Ben, that you reconsider your use of the word "racism" in your phrase about "being an antisemite or any other form of racist." Hitler defined Jews as members of a race. I don't. To me, a Yemenite Jew is just as much a Jew as a Canadian Jew. Not all invidious "isms" are racisms, and the notion that being Jewish is congenital and ineradicable speaks from the position of the bigots. (Yes, I know that orthodox Jewish law defines a Jew as anyone born of a Jewish mother and does not recognize conversion, but the vast majority of the world's Jews--of all races--are not orthodox.) I take pains to separate myself from that language. I urge others do the same.
