Three activists who disrupted a New York City Council meeting to protest an upcoming trip to Israel respond to charges of anti-Semitism: “A few Councilmembers quickly claimed that the protest targeted a resolution memorializing the liberation of Auschwitz concentration camp, and many media outlets leapt to suggest that protesters were anti-Semitic. That is a disgraceful diversion. It was a good-faith effort to intervene in a human rights crisis, smeared by those who prefer to paper over Israel’s actions.”
