LOTS of people need to read this piece! Frankly, there are way too many people who don't know what anti-Semitism, as evidenced by the number of people who can't even define it correctly ("discrimination against Semites", "Jews can't be anti-Semites", "it is all about "antipathy" not hate"
. Maybe what is really need is a primer. I will admit, I have been working on something for awhile now, but just can't get it down to something which would be readable on a website (basically, it is too damn long and I need to pare it down).
Too many really don't understand the history or the depths at which anti-Semitism operates. Calling someone "kike" is about all some are willing to admit is "anti-Semitic" and even then...ISRAEL! ZIONISM!...can still be used as an excuse to claim such a slur "isn't really anti-Semitic".
The reason history repeats itself is because so many are ignorant of it, and when it comes to anti-Semitism, ignorance is in abundance!
