The Israeli Response
One need to understand how historically anti-semetism has functioned
Historically anti-semetism is finding a source of struggle or suffering of a community or society and pinning it on the jews
Examples:
Christians - Death of jesus
Germany - After WWI economic struggle leading to holocaust
Europe - 1346-1353 - Jews were scapegoated as the cause of the Black Death - the disease that killed half of the European population in just 5 years.
Spain - In 1492, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella bankruptcy due to colonization - issued the Alhambra Decree, ordering the expulsion of all Jews from their kingdoms
The Khmelnytsky Uprising in Ukraine - 1648-1654 - The jews were slaughtered(100,000 - 300,000 jews)
Black plague, covid more and more…
In intellectual and political spaces, press or different groups that have the interest to convince the society that the source of the problem is Israel, are going to different minority groups: LGBTQ, Black lives matter, native americans, women right groups and convincing them that if they want to fight for a better world, they must stand against Israel.
We must speak together about how this issue must be dealt with.
