2. For Jews it's become "guilt" by association.

Whatever one’s view is on the war in Gaza, simply because one is Jewish, simply because one is a Zionist and simply because one feels a connection to Israel, does not make one culpable for Israel’s actions. But for many of the most radical voices in the pro-Palestinian activist community, a Jew believing that Jews should have the same right to self-determination as any other ethnic group is a scarlet letter.


That's why antisemitism is up everywhere around the world and especially among young people who get their news from podcasts and tweets. What's really scary for me is that people like Piker aren't facing any consequences for their blatant antisemitism. That's a bad sign of things to come.
