I hate to beat the anti-semitism dead horse yet again, and I know many of you don’t have an Atlantic subscription, but I just needed to share this. Haven’t read an article that sums up my personal feelings on the topic as well before – and from a far less problematic author than the article a few days ago that got much discussion

Yes. And it’s sad and outraging af that this new wave of anti-semitism cannot be shutdown with the same resolute firmness as were the nazis of old.

>Like every Holocaust educator I’ve met, she was sincere, well meaning, eager to improve. After my talk, she privately asked me if I thought that the October 7 attack had been plotted by the Israeli government.
😐😐😐

The permission structure wasn’t created by the horrible attacks on Oct 7th, but what Israel did afterwards. It’s downright chilling to listen to Israeli sources that were protesting Netanyahu in September 2023 defend levels of reprisal that gave plenty of fuel to the “both sides” argument. And at that point, it’s all easy picking for the antisemites.
It’s not unlike the post 9/11 situation: America had the support of most of the world then, but the war on terror squandered most political capital the county had in the international community.
