Speaking as someone whose inclinations are, if anything, philosemitic, I find this entire line of criticism disingenuous and hypocritical. Comment forums are trash and if I were Claire Lehmann I wouldn’t have them on my site in the first place, but when it comes to the content Quillette curates and publishes, the overwhelming tendency is in service of exposing and condemning anti-Semitism and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories:

It’s disingenuous to tar one side for their comment threads while making excuses for political leaders on the left who condone and even court anti-Semitism, such as Jeremy Corbyn, Jesse Jackson, and Bill Clinton.
