Excellent article. I'm a Christian Zionist and I stand with Israel and the Jewish nation 🙏🇮🇱 I also pre-ordered Horn's new book. I do everything I can to fight this hatred against the Jews and the history of Purim completely encompasses the current hostilitys perfectly. Thank you for an excellent article.
Jew-hatred is caused by the burdens Israel's conception of morality and guilt created for those aspiring to become the " chosen" ones.
The Chinese and the Hindus are not anti-semitic ( using the misnomer here, I could have said " Jew-hating"). It is the Christian West and Islam which are the Jew-haters.
The reason is that Israel's civilization was imposed on them. They did all they could to diminish its coherence and demands. They never evolved naturally to internalize it, which Israel, whose idea it was, did. Israel had an additional 1,000 years to ponder things and lived tightly secluded.
The Chinese and the Hindus evolved their own collective minds and beliefs, having no influence from Israel.
I wish this issue were seriously studied, though we could go back to Freud and Dostoevsky and other such luminaries and find clues there.
Once we understand the problem, we will be able to think of a solution. In the meantime, it's all very interesting, but eventually irrelevant.
I do agree that people love dead Jews. Because the supernatural or extra terrestrial Jews loom too large, able to live and thrive under the moral burdens they posited and brought, perennially struggling, scourged by the Prophets, whilst all the discounts and delusions offered by the daughter religions were discredited and delegitimized by those Jews. The parent disowned the alleged offspring.
They did so for good reason, but the craving of these derived civilizations to regress requires Israel's permission, which can never be given. Thus the persecution continues.
If the blood- soaked history of those civilizations bears witness, it is only when cataclysmic levels are reached that humanity wakes. By then, the State of Israel, armed to its teeth in answer to the blood-lust of those , too many, who still dream of getting rid of the Jews, will decide what " the Final Solution" should be.
In the meantime, spending more on Jewish education is a good idea.
It is very difficult to be an observant Jew in America if you don't have a lot of money. I couldn't live anywhere near a shul because they are almost all in very expensive areas. I also don't know where all the fundraising money goes because when I was struggling supporting 3 children and myself no Jewish organization reached out to me. So I returned to Israel. A shul on every corner and dues a tiny fraction of what the fancy American shuls require. I never understood why fancy carpeting is so important. Maybe Dara will wake these people up.
All this talk, while Jews do not arm themselves in response to a situation they have already seen. Some even vote Democrat in the US and support antisemites in western countries. While in Israel, no government has yet torn up the Oslo Accords and bashed in the Palestinians whose PLO leadership needs to be conquered until they succumb with unconditional surrender and the millions who have embraced them driven out from the Land of Israel. Only then will the antisemites realize they cannot slowly squeeze the Jews as the Nazis did nor hammer them as the Communists did and their contemporary inheritors already do and would do worse when they capture power.
This message and every word of it needs to be spread across Jewry like wildfire. It is not like I am saying that Tikkun Olam isn't important, but when it passes the boundary and does harm to our own people, it is an abomination. Our children from day one, in both the classroom and within the family, need to be taught why they are a people, why that matters, why we are different, our history, the messages and meaning of our sacred texts - and Israel (the State, the land, and its history). They need to know who they are and to be proud of it. Our school teachers matter greatly and need more support. In terms of people who are outside of us and want to be a part of us (i.e., converts, or people looking into conversion), I wish I had a dollar for each situation I find in online spaces where one wants to pursue conversion, but finds themselves five hours or more away from the nearest shul. Some just give up. Synagogues are not like Starbucks. Online resources can only do so much, Judaism is all about community and physical interaction. We have no activity or program to address this. Why? You should hear some of the things that many of these potential converts say as to why they want to convert. It will bring tears to your eyes.
Believe it or not, the problem is not a deficit of relentless zealots knocking on our doors to insist they be given our resources so they can explain themselves more unendingly.

Excellent article! Sadly accurate. We need to fund for today and our future generations, not just our past ✅
Problem for whom?
