Prof Steinberg is professor of political studies, Bar Ilan University, and founded the program on conflict management and negotiation. He is also the founder/president of NGO monitor, a Jerusalem-based public affairs institute.
Prof Steinberg asked "So how do you explain antisemitism?"

This blog will be an attempt to document examples of antisemitism and explain aspects of antisemitism.
As an aside, the context was the Australian Ambassador, David Sharma was suggesting the following Haaretz article explained modern day anti-Semitism"
The reality was the article sought to suggest that progressives were "anti-Israel" because of ignorance rather than antisemitism.
I would hope that progressives are critical of either Israel or Palestine if the human rights and the laws of war are violated (e.g. military occupation, settlement expansion, firing of indiscriminate low explosive rockets, firing of high explosive missiles, force used is disproportionate to the perceived military necessity.)
Notes
Eyal Winter, 'Why are Brits who know little about Israel so active against it? It may have less to do with anti-Semitism than we think.' Haaretz, 30 August 2014
