Aipac Cruz disagrees with you bitterly.

I think the solution is to promote a clear understanding of the semitism-antisemitism dynamic which is the lifeblood of Judaism.

Antisemitism is real, but it is part of a feedback loop in which Judaism creates antisemitism to justify itself and maintain Jewish unity.

In every generation, the Jews who like and get along with their non-Jewish neighbors assimilate, leaving only the Jews who manage to maintain a state of alienation.

Once you understand the game, it loses its force.

interesting story of accusations and false labels is in the book of Ezra. Nothing new under the sun kind of deal.

short version is king Cyrus asks Jews to build temple. their rivals get mad at them and falsely accuse them of rebellion and tax evasion by involving politicians and media of their time. King panics and cancels the temple build. and it’s unfair. and it stayed unfair for 15 years.

It really reminds me how nothing changed, people do same kind of accusations to this day since beginning of times. oppose war with Iran = antisemite. Support war = israel puppy. accusations are bad and unfair. it’s hard to stand on truth, there’s always opposition. and in a way Patrick I do thank you for creating free speech forum where disagreements are ok. for we aren’t god, and we all make errors. we all may disagree, but we all speak truth that we understand and try to debate it for truth sake. amen brother.
