It's important to understand that this weaponization is a tool of the left. You need to understand their goal is chaos and destruction. You need to understand that when we talk about the left we include the Nazis and the Soviets and the Socialists and the Communists. The left wants more government and people to be drones to do what the political Elite tell them to do and not question. Read 1984 if you haven't. The right wants freedom of the individual. The right to make your own choices. The responsibility for your words and actions. A responsibility to rational thought and reality. I am always willing to answer questions. After 30 years of teaching I'm getting fairly good at it. I believe in Merit and rational thought. I always point out errors of judgment as well as errors of reality. I welcome questions and discussions.
Margaret Brennan also told Ron Desantis that arabs cannot be antisemitic since they are semites. She is an antisemite of long standing just like the rest of CBS news.
Well antisemitism is an academic word used to denote the legitimacy of Jew hatred by the German professor who coined the term back in the 19th century. Not sure why it has to be changed. But if you want to use Jew-hatred instead go ahead. They really are interchangeable.
We need to clarify it. It is another word that has been twisted and needs to be clarified. Anti-semitism is against semites. That is a much larger group than just Jews. The hatred and Horrors we've seen have been specifically aimed at Jews. Words are important the Sinister socialist left knows that. I appreciate your thoughts and I will always answer when I think clarification is needed.
By the way, when you say an academic word what really is understood is socialist academic. Left leaning academics have bent everything in their Direction that they could. We need to remember that academics should be objective and rational not following agenda blindly.
it is a word that was created to mean a specific thing and that definition has not changed. Only the duplicitous say it means something it does not. And quite frankly those fighting antisemitism today remove the hyphen. Read Deborah Lipstadt on the subject.
Although there are no words, you said everything that needed to be said. We need an effective solution to address the ubiquitous ignorance of history, but unfortunately most of it is willful ignorance that will not even be swayed by words as honest and well chosen as yours.
Thank you David for your excellent column. Yes Yarden Bibas nightmare will never be over and we must keep him always in our thoughts and prayers. I was sickened too by the Hamas display of evil last Thursday when all were gleeful. After visiting with my husband the NYC Anne Frank annex exhibit and reading a letter by Otto Frank to students at a Bronx school imploring them to be on alert because anti semitsm is not just a thing of the past, I was reminded more than ever that Israel must keep fighting and and what took place in Europe could happen again. I too was not pleased with Ms. Brennan's remarks. But liked how Rubio responded.
Well said. CBS is in line with BBC for the worst reporting ever

We need to clarify the words. ANTISEMITIC is INCORRECT.
What we are seeing is
ANTI-JEWISH.
It is the HATRED that HISTORY has NURSED that is CREATED out of the NEED for SCAPEGOATS and the JEALOUSY of those that SUCCEED!
Please feel free to comment.
Rational comments only please.

There is a difference in its use, today, as we know.That really isn't the point.
That actually is the point and I will follow Dr. Lipstadt on the issue. But thanks for the input.

Amen

Perfectly stated.
