After 9/11 I couldn’t imagine a world in which people did not believe groups which said they wanted them dead. I mistakenly believed that such a realization would (largely) end antisemitism because entire countries explicitly said they wanted to destroy Israel. Moreover, surely Hamas, MB, Hezbollah and the PLO would be stopped, perhaps destroyed, or at least reduced to waiving sticks in the air in a desert.

Not only did none of that happen, today we have few in congress. Jews have been openly attacked in NYC, sometimes victims of mass shootings, and no one really does one thing to end it.

I think most western cultures deny what has been proven correct about their enemies over and over since the fall of the Ottoman Empire.

Will this change their minds?

No.

Obviously, if you can march around a major western city and advocate genocide you’ve got protection.

So yes we do know where that support comes from. And if they can do that, what’s the plan for America?
