Last week, Vice President Kamala Harris headlined the opening session of the Anti-Defamation League’s “Never is Now” conference on fighting antisemitism. Her prepared remarks have been heavily praised as an excellent step for a Democratic establishment that has all-too-often been hesitant to confront the issue of anti-Jewish sentiment head-on.

Hopefully, this read is correct and signals a shift in both recognition and willingness to act on the part of the party’s leadership. But the hard truth is that the vice president’s comments did not actually address the modern antisemites’ favorite loophole, and ideas this important must be stated with perfect clarity.
