For context, here is the newsletter that Harvard image was from: https://www.crmvet.org/docs/sv/6707_sncc_news-r.pdf (page 4)

Seems to me, given the text, that the image was depicting the hand as Israel. Poor choice imo but doesn’t reek of overt antisemitism.

You're now at the point of sticking up for something even SJP has disavowed. And this isn't like my best example, it's just one fresh in my mind because it happened 2 days ago. Further, the idea that any symbol of Judaism is properly understood as support for Israel is itself prima facie antisemitic!

Posting context isn’t “sticking up” for it, unless you decide to interpret it less than charitably.

The Star of David is on Israel’s flag and the official adopted symbol of Zionism.. The entire article was about Israel and Zionists. That you claim it is antisemitic is just another example of what I mentioned.
