Thank you for your important and heartfelt work. It seems that in the world that today's antisemites are trying to create, it is soooo yesterday to genuinely care about Holocaust memory and to protect Israel as the place that saved many lives from the Nazis (while it was British mandate of Palestine). There is a dominoes "matching game" being created by the Hamas and their collaborators in the West. In yesterday's hostage release "ceremony," which was correctly characterized as psychological torture, the Hamas displayed the sign "the victory of the oppressed people vs. the Nazi Zionism." Western activism match this message by using Holocaust memory to incite Israel hate. I think we should start using a different name for antisemitism (because every antisemite seems to claim to have a Jewish friend who agrees with them and who seems to think that they can escape the trauma of the Holocaust by helping today's Nazis). Instead, we should focus on pointing out that some people in the West are doing exactly what the Hamas wants them to do. Their reasons for doing so (which are quite likely antisemitism) can remain their own private business. But their de facto collaboration with the Hamas is not their private business because is poses a risk to civilization.
Thats a good point - in some ways calling them anti-semites moves it into the brain/heart whereas calling them Hamas supporters is more real and it is also truthful.
They support the aims and actions of anti-semites.
Wonderfully stated Phelim. Thank you for everything.
Thank you
