I saw this editorial in the Boston Globe that I wanted to add to the thread.

A roadmap for Jew-haters

There is nothing subtle about an antisemitic project’s call to ‘dismantle’ the infrastructure of the Bay State’s Jewish community.


The supreme leader of Iran had a message the other day for his 902,000 Twitter followers.

“Zionists have always been a plague, even before establishing the fraudulent Zionist regime,” wrote Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. “Even then, Zionist capitalists were a plague for the whole world.”

“Zionists” is a dysphemism for Jews. To Khamenei and his ilk, it is Jews who have “always been a plague . . . for the whole world.” That is why Iranian-sponsored terror attacks have been carried out against Jewish targets far from the Middle East, such as the horrific 1994 bombing of the Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, in which 85 people were murdered. That is why Iran enthusiastically promotes Holocaust denial and why its grotesque “Jewish Studies Center” is a leading purveyor of antisemitic books, videos, and reports.

So it isn’t hard to guess what Khamenei would think of the Mapping Project, a new antisemitic endeavor in Massachusetts that also regards Jews as dangerously virulent.

The Mapping Project was unveiled this month by far-left extremists associated with BDS Boston. (BDS refers to the Boycott/Divestment/Sanctions campaign to ostracize Israel.) It consists of an interactive map of Massachusetts on which are linked hundreds of public and private entities of every description. Its creators call it “an organizing tool” for “fighting back against Zionism, US imperialism, and other interlocking systems of oppression.” They claim that the organizations it highlights represent the “local institutional support for the colonization of Palestine.”
