I think an important point that has generally been left out is how the culture in general has been programmed to hate on Israel and by extension Jews. There has been absolutely no consequence to anyone who traffics in Jew-hatred over the decades other than Mel Gibson, and that was only for a short while, and only because he used the word…
I think an important point that has generally been left out is how the culture in general has been programmed to hate on Israel and by extension Jews. There has been absolutely no consequence to anyone who traffics in Jew-hatred over the decades other than Mel Gibson, and that was only for a short while, and only because he used the words "Jew" instead of "Zionist" in his drunken rant. (The fashion designer who went on an antisemitic drunken rant about the Holocaust was later taken back into the fold by Anna Wintour)
We elected a President who sat in an antiAmerican, antisemitic church for over 20 years. Who only disavowed the church to help his presidential campaign. Who administered one of the most antiIsrael administrations (many in his administration trafficking in antisemitic blood libels) in US history. He appointed the likes of the cultural marxist Bill Ayers to rewrite the educational curriculum in this country and we did nothing. States completely embraced the new curriculum and now our children cannot read, write, think critically, or do simple mathematics.
If you take a look at the Regents exams in NY they used the antisemitic "maps that lie" in a geography test about Israel last year, history books make short shrift of the Holocaust and dissemble about the facts concerning Jewish history, and Israel. There is the new ethnic study curriculum being pushed throughout the country which basically doubles as a modern day Mein Kempf when it comes to Jewish history. Where did these ideas come from? They did not pop up overnight. These have been decades in the making.
Antisemitism and Israel hatred are sometimes subtle in our culture. You may even have missed it. But said enough it glombs onto the psyche. Take note of shows like The FBI, which in the opening show last year, the bodyguards of the sex traffickers where pointedly former mossad agents (why?), to the NYTimes (of course) crossword with the clue "Judea" is part of ancient Palestine, to the Hollywood stars who openly call for the destruction of Israel, be it Mark Ruffalo, Susan Sarandon and their traveling ilk, to the fashion icons and instagram influencers the Hadid sisters, Dua Lipa and others who unashamedly have been openly using the term"from the river to the sea" for years. Not one of these individuals, actors, singers, writers, have been held to account. They call for Jewish genocide and the next day they are given multimillion dollar movie contracts, new record deals, and put on the cover of Vogue. Would they be held in such high esteem calling for genocide against any other people other than Jews?
So you can talk all you want about college and universities, most people do not go to high education, but when more than 50% of GenZ say they are proHamas, (not proPalestine), where did that come from? TikTok hasn't been around for that long that it could have so much influence over so many millions.
Dehumanizing Israel, and by extension Jews, is something that has been going on since the 1960s when the cultural left embraced soviet antisemitism. But where was the fight to stop it? There was none.
America just shrugged and did nothing.
But remember the Jews are the canary in the coal mine. What starts with the Jewish People never ends with the Jewish people.
Our democracy is at present under assault from many different angles, not the least of which is the open acceptance, apologies for, and the belittling of the scourge of antisemitism .
What baffles me is...who venerates people whose greatest achievement is resistance and murder? Who are perpetual “refugees” instead of having moved on to better lives through hard work and inventiveness? Normal people respect the likes of inventors, doctors, business people, intellectuals, police and fire, etc.... people who BENEFIT society. How can anyone justify in their own head the worship of a murderous cult of whining haters? It’s beyond baffling! It’s the human psyche turned against itself!

there is a moral failing among these young people that is quite scary.
Amazing comment. Thank you.
