American Jews, Meet Jewish History
(Forward) Ari Hoffman - Immediately disregard any voice suggesting that anti-Semitism can be solved by something Jews do. If Israel took up less space, we are told, it would be more accepted. If Jews bought fewer apartments in certain neighborhoods, tensions against them would calm. This is nonsense. Anti-Semitism proceeds from what Jews are perceived to be, not what they do. The truth is this: American Jewry has unhappily returned to Jewish history. This is what it has mostly looked like. History has also been a record of true allies of every race and creed who saw that a society where Jews are prey is one where the predators will soon come for everyone.
