This is a good article. I've been reading a lot of stuff from Currents over the past year.

Leifer attributed this to the brutally Manichaean dynamics at play. He told me that he kept thinking of Albert Camus’s famous line during the Algerian war for independence: “People are now planting bombs in the tramways of Algiers. My mother might be on one of those tramways. If that is justice, then I prefer my mother.”

lmao

Many Jews who stood in solidarity with Palestinians—the writers Adam Shatz, Masha Gessen, and Nathan Thrall, along with Beinart and Leifer—were nevertheless impugned as closet “liberal Zionists,” which seemed to flirt with the antisemitic motif of the wolf in sheep’s clothing.

I mean there isn't even a question about Leifer at this point. Or maybe the question is whether "liberal" even applies.
