I Asked How We Jews Can Unite Against Antisemitism…
Last week, I inquired as to how we can improve our PR to outsiders. This is an important question given that the anti-Israel side, which has proliferated in the last 4 months, has recruited a ton of non-Muslims who view themselves as “activists.” While I did receive thoughtful responses from many of my wonderful readers,* the majority of the suggestions fell into the following categories:
- We need to speak out against Marxist wokeism on college campuses.
- We need to embrace MAGA and vote for Trump.
- We need to voice less support for Israel.
- Antisemitism will always be there, so there’s nothing we can do.
