He had me until I read this:

It’s true that this is not the anti-Semitism of the 1930s, which came from the right and was rooted in longstanding Christian views that demonized the Jews. Traditionally, Islam did not treat Jews this way.

Well, yes, IF and ONLY IF the Jews submit to "dhimmi" status, pay the "jizya" tax on infidels, and are properly subservient to Islamic rule.

In the Islamic view, the sin of the Jews is that the rebuffed Islamic rule, and dared to fight against the Muslims when attacked.

“t’s true that this is not the anti-Semitism of the 1930s, which came from the right and was rooted in longstanding Christian views that demonized the Jews. Traditionally, Islam did not treat Jews this way. “

The second sentence is rather inaccurate, I agree.

Apparently, the author is unaware of Banu Qurayza.
