Jonathan Sheffi has already offered a thoughtful and fact-based admonishment of the GRALTA content. He offered exhaustive commentary on the specific claims made in the content and on the website, with specific references. He is not simply claiming it’s antisemitic content, he is explaining precisely why it is antisemitic. He has proposed a counter narrative supported by the evidence. It happens to also be a powerful one, because it’s true.
If you take issue with his assertions about the nature and character of the content, why not actually respond to the facts? Instead of the ad hominem attacks. Which facts have been misrepresented?
With two Jews gunned down in the streets by a guy shouting “free Palestine” one of your Jewish neighbors is still writing to a public email list with thousands of members to stand with integrity against the proliferation of antisemitic propaganda. And I stand with him.

Freedom of speech allows for inaccurate statements, misrepresentations of facts and replacing facts with opinions and then others echoing them as facts. Unfortunately, this is happening here, again.
GRALATA Foundation has been clear and consistent about its mission, readily available on its website, in its programs and literature.
For straightforward reporting of facts, you might consider a subscription to Haaretz, a great Israeli newspaper.
Spot on and thank you for stating this Seth.
…… Joan,
Jonathan Sheffi has already pointed out, in great detail and rather articulately, exactly why the propaganda films being screened in Lincoln by Gralta are anti-Semitic.
He has also made the point on numerous occasions that perpetuating these false narratives really does have real world consequences. It is not innocuous as some have suggested. And two Israeli kids murdered by a “free Palestine activist” are an unfortunate affirmation of his point.
While you and your cohort are free to attend the screenings, he too should be free to criticize them.
