Has the discourse around Israel permanently changed? Robert Wright and Derek Davison explore the shifting boundaries of what’s acceptable to say about Israeli policy—even within elite and establishment circles. They argue that a growing number of influential voices are speaking more openly about Israel without facing the consequences they once feared.
This change, they suggest, reflects deeper generational and political shifts: younger people are increasingly unmoved by accusations that criticism of Israel is antisemitic. That narrative, once highly effective in silencing dissent, is losing power—and, paradoxically, may be undermining the fight against real antisemitism.
