The proper response to this war against a people is not to deflect it, but to fight it better
The tsunami of global antisemitism in the wake of the massacre of Israelis on Oct. 7, 2023, and during the Gaza war that followed, has caused as much bafflement as horror at the sheer perversity of this malevolence.
It’s now become clear, however, that what we’re looking at is an even more sinister pattern of behavior. Appallingly, the slaughter of Jews excites a large number of people so much that it galvanizes them to howl for the blood of more.
This was manifest on Oct. 7 itself, when mobs started pouring onto the streets of Western cities screaming about genocide and “intifada now,” even while the Israelis were still battling the Hamas terrorists perpetrating the slaughter.
