An Antisemitic Mass Movement Has Arisen in America
(JNS) Benjamin Kerstein - American Jews are reeling from the terrible realization that, contrary to their expectations, no Jewish community is ever immune to history. What has emerged since the Oct. 7 massacre has been rather remarkable: A self-declared "antiracist" movement that embraces antisemitism. An unholy alliance between a totalitarian theocratic movement and ostensibly secular progressives. Institutions of higher education that happily tolerate the most brazen violations of their own codes of conduct. Politicians who preach morality while calling for genocide. The first antisemitic mass movement in American history has arisen. There have been antisemitic movements in America before, but never have they been this large, politically influential, violent, and explicitly opposed to the fundamental principles of their own society. Moreover, it has become trendy to hate Israel and the Jews. Rarely have we seen a protest movement so brazenly hurl all morality to the winds. To them - and we know this because they say so - murdering, raping, kidnapping and torturing innocent people is a good thing. These protesters are not just morally bankrupt. They are morality's adversary.
