A lot of what is happening on college campuses, to me, is a direct culmination of a generation worth's effort to conflate antisemitism and criticism of Israel, an extension of the Zionist effort a generation before that to equate Judaism and Israeli nationalism. /1
Much like Zionism and the creation of Israel had a tectonic impact on world Jewry, the moment we are in is going to huge consequences for Jewish people everywhere. /2
One of those consequences is not being able to identify when Jews are genuinely unsafe, not being able to combat antisemitism, and continuously pitting Jews against the world. /3
When there are elements of hate or antisemitism, they are all the more difficult to combat, because of how identified the fight against antisemtism has become with the fight for a Greater Israel, and how discredited American Jewish and Israeli leaders have become. /4
