Last weekend, organizers of a gay pride parade in Chicago ejected three people carrying pride flags emblazoned with a Jewish Star of David. Subsequent bizarre statements attempting to rationalize their action, claiming that Zionism is “an inherently white supremacist ideology” only exacerbated the sense that the organizers were deaf to the concerns of the Jewish community and engaged in anti-Semitism — denying Jews the same rights that were extended to other participants, basically to celebrate their identities as Jewish queer women.
While this incident could be dismissed as one fringe group in one city, the fact is that it does represent a wider school of thought that is fueling a trend of creeping anti-Semitism among some segments of the political left.
Over the past year, we have seen other examples that have raised eyebrows as intersectional intolerance has sprung up among the progressive community. Similar stories to the one in Chicago were reported at the Celebrate Israel Parade in New York City earlier this month.
Last summer, a plank in the platform of the Movement for Black Lives bizarrely accused Israel of genocide.
Linda Sarsour, a leader of the women’s rights movement, has lambasted Zionism as incompatible with feminism and advocates for the exclusion of pro-Israel Jews from activist groups.

"Creeping"? Could these people be any more delusional? Leftists are, and always have been, anti-semitic.
What I have always found baffling is the fact that there are so many jewish leftists, but to buy into leftism and be a lefty, they have to buy into that aspect of it or ignore it. They try to disguise it, but it is pretty evident to those on the outside looking in at them.

Creeping in? I thought anti semitism was an integral part of libtardism. I thought one couldn’t be a libtard, without being an anti Semite.
Progressives are just making socialism Judenrein like always.
They’ve been anti-semitic creeps for a damn long time.

Campus blackshirt thugs and antisemitism - who would make such a connection?
Not surprising, the lefties are hateful people.
Always been there. Only now more blatant. Obvious. Odd that Crazy Bernie is one of the worst offenders.
Self-hating Jew?
Anti-Semitism is not some rare, odd thing that is slightly influencing the fringes (!) of the left. Anti-Semitism is really at the left’s core and it permeates everything. Their usual excuse, that they are fine with Jews but against Israel and Zionism is a thin disguise.
Of course they are anti-Jew. And for good (God) reason;) Nobody wants to have their city street paved with salt whilst they occupy it!
Indeed. David Horowitz wrote a book about this subject in 2004.
CREEPING??? It’s been a staple for decades.
It’s been a long loud stumbling creep. They have been creeping around that bush in neon for many years.
Creeping into? Only just creeping into?
Then again it’s Time, so it’s understandable.

You were reading my mind. The other part of this is the fact that many Jews will defend the actions of the Secular Progressive (read Marxist) Jews who daily sully Judaism with their anti-Jewish behavior.
