The Democrats who find "abundance liberalism" threatening - The Economist
The Democrats who find
The Democratic Party could use a makeover. Donald Trumps victory in November showed that the party can no longer rely on bashing him to win elections. The Republican president is trusted more than Democrats, whose approval rating is the lowest its been in 35 years. Democrats are searching for a positive vision to inspire voters, and leading the pack, at least among party elites, is the brand of abundance. Popularised in a recent book by journalists Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson, abundance types advocate for overhauling a decades-old liberalism of bureaucratic red tape with one that builds clean energy, infrastructure and, above all, affordable housing. Even Zohran Mamdani, the socialist Democratic nominee for New York City mayor who wants to freeze rents, has given the abundance wing of the Democratic Party a few nods. But the high-powered Maryland suburbs outside Washington suggest the politics of abundance can be treacherous.

The Troubling Lines That Columbia Is Drawing
In 2005, a working definition of antisemitism was posted on the website of the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia, a research institute founded by the European Union. It described antisemitism, somewhat vaguely, as a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Even less precise were the eleven examples of antisemitism that followed, many of which focussed on Israel. Among them was denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor, and applying double standards by requiring of [Israel] behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation.
