I suppose that when I think of identity politics, I think of people who say we should listen to jewish people about how antizionism is antisemitism, (white) trans people about how everyone should’ve voted for kamala holocaust, zionist Iranians about how we should celebrate western interference in Iran etc.
But maybe that isn’t actually identity politics and more so deference politics.
Oh no, that's 100% liberal idpol. The problem, as I say, is the liberalism - the deference to liberal institutions and alignment with the global hegemon, in this case. But the identity politics in and of itself isn't the problem. The problem isn't "caring about antisemitism", it's misidentifying what is or is not antisemitic and aligning with the interests of the bourgeoisie. Where antisemitism happens we should still be concerned about it (though we should also be aware of its limited impact compared to Islamophobia).
