There are two reasons the media has been softpedaling the antisemitic attacks this week.

1) The victims are Jews.
2) The attackers are Arabs.

The media has internalized the lie that Jews are privileged whites and Arabs are disadvantaged people of color. And once the identities are established, it is clear that the "whites" are in the wrong and the POC are in the right, no matter what the actual circumstances.

Since the actual facts contradict the narrative that the media has been pushing for years, there is a reluctance to contradict all that previous coverage with those false assumptions. So the media (and politicians) duck and only say anything when they are FORCED to.

The antisemitic memes that Jews control the media and the government affect even those who know it is nonsense. In the back of their minds, they don't want to be looked upon as puppets of the great Jewish/Zionist conspiracy. Hence, avoiding reporting as long as possible.

One cannot stress enough how toxic these identity politics are. And after years of modern antisemites converting Jews from racially inferior to racially privileged, they've accomplished their goal of having ordinary people look at Jews as part of the despised group.

Again.

This isn't a story about resurgent antisemitism. This is a story about antisemitism that has stealthily become part of the fabric of Western society.

Without the years of positioning Jews as the rich, successful, arrogant "chosen", the violence we've seen could never occur.

So this isn't a story about keffiyeh clad thugs, as the Israel haters take pains to try to paint it (when forced to.) It is a story of an entire mindset that the far Left has managed to create, where people are victims or victimizers, and victims are always right.

Anyone who truly cares about the future of America should be angry at what we see happening, the stealthy hate that has infected large swaths of society and that became explicit this week.

It didn't happen in a vacuum.
