W31Antisemitism and anti-Israel politics The claim

Woodcock's public calls for military action against Israel created a hostile environment for Jewish students, which justified removing him from teaching.

The catch

The same statements are political advocacy about a foreign war, and whether the university acted on conduct or on viewpoint is what the appeal is about.

W31Antisemitism and anti-Israel politics The claim

A Woke Right faction has captured part of the conservative movement and is tolerating or spreading antisemitic conspiracy theories.

The catch

The feud is real and documented across months. This week's specific charge, that one editor blamed Jewish people for the Ceuta crossing, isn't corroborated anywhere else.

W31Antisemitism and anti-Israel politics The claim

A campaign calling for people to skip Spider-Man because a producer was born in Israel and supports it is protest, and calling that antisemitic misreads it.

The catch

The campaign's own stated reasoning cites both Arad's public political statements and his birthplace, which is why each side can quote it and be right.
