6. The Jew hate was always there, lurking right under the surface

Diaspora Jews now know the truth. Entrance and acceptance into society was a facade. The welcome was an inch deep.

It is a wake-up call. Jews across the world now know the depth of Jew hatred that ranges from those who want Jews dead to those who trade in antisemitic tropes and conspiracy theories to the “soft antisemite” who buys into media stereotypes.

At least Jews know who their friends are, even if it hurts to realize they can be counted on one hand.

It has become amusing as much as tragic to watch people twist themselves into pretzels insisting that their anti-Zionism is not antisemitism as if Jewsplaining to Jews who they are and denying Jews their identity and nationhood has nothing to do with animosity and hate toward Jews. They should know Jews know the difference between political criticism and antisemitism and can smell it a mile away.

Big hug to you lapucelle.
