This is what he considers antisemitic for context:
“Vegan” Zionists are unfortunately not as uncommon as you’d think…
I was semi-active in some animal liberation circles and the amount of Zionists and “centrists” (“noo don’t cut XYZ off, they are a good activist, can’t we put politics aside???”) is disgusting. But while it has its heart in the right place opposing animal commodification, vegan activism has always been thoroughly lib, so not exactly surprising.

I can’t imagine the type of mindset it takes to think that Palestinians are less worthy of life then animals.
I notice that, believe it or not, sometimes veganism attracts the “facts and logic” kind of people who can come to somewhat of a principled, philosophical understanding as to why they should support veganism by thinking it out for a bit, but in that thought process, they forget that veganism is also fundamentally rooted in opposing oppression systemically. It’s not a coincidence that radical animal liberation orgs tend to be explicitly leftist or even simply that leftism and veganism oftentimes go hand-in-hand.
