A clear sign that something is wrong is that criticism of of a particular person or doctrine is forbidden. Putting a happy face on vileness doesn't make a doctrine less vile. If you want to know who's vile ask who you're not allowed to criticize. If history has taught us anything it is that those who imagine themselves to be infallible will fail. And those who imagine themselves incapable of evil will do evil.
Antisemitism in politics is the practical equivalent of a dead canary in
a coal mine, I can't say this often enough. Antisemitism is bad
enough, but it's also a symptom of a deeper political problem.
