@rafi_dot_net @petersterne You too! Glad we could chat about this and clarify the points of disagreement, genuinely appreciate good faith engagement like this — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@rafi_dot_net @petersterne Yeah I've read these passages over and over again and I don't see what you're describing. It's more like this (our thread is branching a bit so I'm centralizing) https://t.co/vlDd8MAHPE — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@rafi_dot_net @petersterne That is not the same thing as claiming that supporting BDS is necessarily anti-Semitic (wrong), just it can be (debatably true) and that Jewish concerns on this score experience should be taken seriously (certainly true). — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@rafi_dot_net @petersterne So I read the piece as arguing the following: The Bowman incident illustrates a climate of hostility on the left towards mainstream Jewish progressive ideas — e.g., opposing BDS and supporting two states — that is partly rooted in blindness and even toleration of anti-Semitism — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@rafi_dot_net @petersterne I agree that the article you're describing would be bad — supporting BDS is not necessary anti-Semitic, nor is left one-statism. I have engaged seriously with both ideas in print at great length! But that's not the piece The Nation actually published. — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@rafi_dot_net @petersterne That's not even remotely accurate. The opening of the piece is about the Women's March and Farrakhan. The thrust of the piece is not about supporting BDS but the drive to expel Bowman over meeting with J Street. — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@rafi_dot_net @petersterne I guess I don’t see the arguments in the piece as in tension with the position you ascribe to me (in a way I appreciate, by the way). I see it as accurately critiquing areas where the modern left is blind to anti-Semitism, even as it make several assertions I disagree with — PolitiTweet.org

Another thing we don't talk about enough is the variation between at home tests. My positive and negative results came from different brands, one of which (POS) was a lot easier to use — a simple swab rather than a complex dropper system. Seems to make user error less likely. — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

As a result, I have to act as if I'm presumptively positive — even though I may not be! That means isolating, keeping my daughter home from daycare, and grinding work to a halt. I don't know how common this limbo is, but my guess is that it's not rare — and disrupting society. — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

I'm currently living America's Covid-19 testing failure. I've gotten one positive home antigen test and one negative one. I feel bad, but not awful. I got a PCR test on Monday — and won't have a result until Thursday at the earliest, Saturday at the latest. — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@djpressman That's a major reason I wrote "on-the-whole" in the first tweet — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

This is on-the-whole correct, and I'm glad The Nation published it https://t.co/W2IP4rHuW6 — PolitiTweet.org

@MattLeidholm Yeah today I tried something else for a lark but came to a realization quickly that it wasn't optimal — PolitiTweet.org

@Timodc That was like the only thing in your piece I disagreed with, it's less replacement level Nickelback than a rich dude's Linkin Park impression — PolitiTweet.org

@Timodc One thing people don't understand is the absolute weirdness of Bannon's show, which Tim captures nicely here https://t.co/7U2TcGM0xL — PolitiTweet.org
