It is not just socially acceptable to hate Jews, it is required.

It is required in an environment where all minds must think alike and all people must say the same words, at the same time. Where everyone needs the same Satan to yell at (and capture and torture) during the daily Two Minutes' Hate that somehow spills into 24/7 Hate. The uniformity of expected thought and behavior is something we are more likely to expect from dog training than from universities but such is the state of education in the West today. We've been doing away with critical thinking skills since the early '70s and it shows.

Orwell was right: He who controls the past, controls the future.

You are so right. I find the whole thing quite devastating. October 7th actually caused me to investigate the Israel/Palestine issue in order to understand the whole issue. What I discovered was contrary to everything I had been told over the years by the many Muslims I knew. I don't think they had lied to me deliberately, but because they had been brought up to believe the lie. I find it all so sad. My dad was in WWII, and his brothers were killed fighting the Nazis. We said, "Never again", but look where we are. I'm not Jewish, but I find it all very disturbing.
