So, the reason antisemitism is cool again is because Jews have been dehumanized by the haters? What a revelation! I never would’ve guessed it.

Yes, I know we need to build bridges of better understanding and **insert feel-good cliche here**. And yes, the occasional reminders are necessary.

But waxing intellectual about the time-(dis)honored tradition of scapegoating is not really helping. Its just being pretentious about the things we already know.

Besides, the differences between ancient and modern antisemitism are not so different as to change the nature of the beast. The problem isn’t that complicated. Neither is the solution: Just keep pointing out that double-standards are double-standards, and scapegoating is scapegoating. Cognitive dissonance will do the rest.

Don’t believe me? It’s already begun. Just check-out how many countries have bailed-out of the Durban III conference so far. The haters’ pretense is collapsing.
