Has Antisemitism become the entry drug to Genocide? [1]

While antisemitism itself doesn't directly lead to fascism, its exploitation by authoritarian leaders can create an environment where fascist ideologies thrive. It's a grim reminder of how prejudice can be weaponized for political gain. -AI-
A student grabbed off the street, another removed from his citizenship hearing, a father grabbed on his way to his immigration court. All of these people trying to enjoy the freedom America is suppose to provide. Some getting an education in the freedom of protest, some the freedom of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Being antisemitic or a suspected gang member is no excuse to grab any citizen from the street and disappear them. After all free speech is speech we don’t agree with.
uUsing these excuses to deny the rights of anyone seeking the security that our democracy offers to freely learn or to enjoy the fruits of liberty, it becomes borderline fascism.
Fascism is an authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization. It is characterized by extreme authoritarianism, intolerance, and oppressive ideas or behavior… -AI-
Not every discussion, op-ed or criticism of Israel is an antisemitic statement. It is criticism which in it’s self a valuable part of a free society. A criticism not to be punished. Never to be censored.
… Republican-led initiatives, such as book bans in schools or restrictions on certain types of speech, could themselves be seen as forms of censorship. -AI-
What we are witnessing or the first steps of what, if left unchecked, could lead to a genocide. The unsubstantiated claims of antisemitism by anyone who the President doesn’t agree with or won’t follow his will. Amplified by Fox News.
Donald Trump and MAGA creating economic instability through DOGE. A false narrative of white discrimination or lack of male privilege and promoting white nationalism and a return to a racist form of governance.
Seeking out “undesirables” like minorities, the disabled and women by taking away their rights, and liberties.
Laws the remove voting rights, equality or inclusion in the American democracy, liberties and self evident rights.
We, as a nation, are being lead into another world war that we as a nation are ill prepared to win let alone fight. One party has worked the hardest in the last 70 to bring about today. A president who believes he’s omnipotent. A congress who wishes to cede power to that omnipotent president. A corrupt political system built on avarice mediocrity.
The next step will be the incarcerations of Americans in a foreign land.
After that ...
