[JPost] ...One has to be willfully obtuse to not see the steady unfolding of ominous events, ranging from random attempted lynchings in the streets of Blue cities (not strongholds of white supremacy), to cynically manipulated pronouncements in prominent media, to unhinged rants by celebrities and muscle flexing progressive Democrats in Congress.
Some in England see residual "Corbynism" resurfacing, while in Western Europe, the pretext of supporting Hamas has meant that any and all Jews are fair game.
There are many attempts at trying to explain why it’s all so intense, and why now. Some see this as part of a sustained reaction against all things Trump; to others, the Biden administration’s cozying up to Iran has been read as a license to lash out at all things Israeli.
Ultimately, any and all conceivable explanations fail to capture the maniacal quality of the hatred being unleashed.
...Antisemitism oppresses Jews, but it is ultimately a threat to the overall society since antisemitism never ends with the Jews. Antisemitism is the unmistakable sign that a society is in trouble.
