Peston warns of ‘incipient McCarthyism’ Coming from a journalist who enabled it, is too little too late.
As a Jew, I have become increasingly worried that the charge of antisemitism is being levelled to silence legitimate and important debate. Antisemitism is on the rise, but there is also a rise in the unscrupulous use of the term to silence reasonable questions about the Israeli.
