Are we ignoring Antisemitism in some way? [1]

This discussion was had today on CNN.

"I'll just finish quickly," Enten replied. "I would just say, I just think it is nice that we're really actually focusing on antisemitism for a change in this country and talking about that. We do have a real issue and that there is real Jewish hate on the rise, and we all need to address it."

During a discussion on CNN's "Table for Five" over the Donald Trump administration's use of antisemitism as a pretext to continue his assault on higher education, Jones and Jennings went back and forth on the president's plans to punish California for ignoring his executive orders.

Continued over the break.

In this segment of debate on CNN, Harry Enten gets really angry when the question is asked "Is Antisemitism the only bigotry we care about?" He argues that at least "finally, it is being addressed" but that seems to ignore the reality that there hasn't been a time when it *wasn't* addressed.

Jews are being unjustly targeted and attacked, many of them have nothing to do with Israeli policy and they may even oppose Netanyahu and his actions. It is bigotry to attack *any* Jew or Israeli for that.

But then again, the average resident of Gaza isn't personally responsible for Hamas or the Oct 7th attack either, what is happening right now in Gaza is *ALSO* bigotry and potentially ethnical cleanings and genocide.

It seems really strange to me that we are constantly told we have to oppose "Antisemitism" - which we should - but we are not allowed to oppose the violence, mass murder and hatred of Muslims and Arabs in Gaza. This view is constantly out of balance.

There is a further context to this discussion that the reason they’re even talking about Antisemitism is because the Trump Administration is threatening to cut off California from Federal funds over the issue , based on the events last year that occurred at UCLA and also Transgender Athletes.

This is clearly a gross overreach and abuse of power.

As much as the right likes to claim that the protests at UCLA were some type of attack on Jewish students, that simply was not the case. Many of those protesting Israeli policy on the campus were themselves Jewish and Israeli. Many of those complaining about the protests and encampment were falsely. ginning up the idea that — for example — the closing of a particular door was done only to keep out “Jewish students” but the reality is that that door was closed and locked to protect the security of the encampment from anyone entering, not just someone Jewish.

There was also the case that these “AntiPalestinian Bros” were the ones being violent by attacking the encampment and the protestors with sticks and weapons while the police looked on and did nothing until they also joined in on the attack against the encampment.

Further, it appears this hyper-aggressive movement to gaslight people about Antisemitism while promoting violence against GAZA is not a natural, normal phenomenon. It’s part of a Heritage Foundation operation called Project Esther.
