Is the unchurching of young people behind the strange new rise of antisemitism on campus?
It was a surprise to many that Jew-hatred is big on campuses these days. Explanations are few and far between about where the ugly idea comes from.
Is it about a belief that Jews have all the money and political power like the lunatic fringe, the Klan, and LaRouchies claim? Not that anyone but a weirdo (and Rep. Ilhan Omar) would embrace that. Those are the views of freaks.
The antisemitism now seen is of a more slippery variety, the kind that claims that Zionism is racism, Israelis are the 'real' Nazis, or Apartheid practitioners, and every bad act of other characters in recent history. Suddenly, and however improbable, it's now pinned on the Jews. Corollary to this are the claims among the campus elite that they don't hate Jews, only Zionists, a distinction without a difference, and a self-justification that falls apart increasingly frequently.
