Hi Sean,

I really appreciate your gentle and open-hearted way of opening this conversation and I have never thought that criticism of the Israeli government's policies is inherently antisemitic. But antisemitism has been allowed to explode as a result of the way the narrative is conducted, and to deny it is the antithesis of humanitarian.

Personally, I am one of the Israeli government's biggest critics and I know the situation on the ground is terrible. Yes, we need a hostage deal now and we need the world's support to condemn Hamas's murderous death cult to give both Gazans and Israelis a chance at moving forward and safety.
