Not sure I believe “historic levels”. See Pre-WWII America and the American Nazi Party as example. Highly recommend Rachel Maddow’s book Prequel for details of how close America came to an alliance with Nazi Germany.
The highest level in decades is still historic without invalidating a prior, higher peak. If anything, it should be a reminder of how bad we were previously so we don’t go all in like we did back then.
Based on what I can tell antizionism might be reaching “historic levels” though. They arrested hundreds of activists from Jewish Voice for Peace out of the thousands that showed up to protest just a day or two ago. 20.000 people protested for Palestine in SF. The streets were filled in NY, Chicago, Washington, etc. I don’t know if there’s ever been this much pushback against the occupation in the US, so I’d be willing to believe antizionism might be reaching historic levels. Maybe the dude conveniently got his words mixed up.
I think we’re seeing people getting pissed about innocent people dying everywhere, and leaders are tripping over themselves justifying it for those they’re allied with.
What does Israel have that requires the western countries to look the other way at this shit when they’re appearing to stand up against it elsewhere.
I don’t think the West is standing up against it anywhere, it’s just a convenient political rally cry for whatever agenda you have and people will continue to die.
Yep. Besides: I’d bet a fiver that this guy counted anybody who criticized Israel as anti semitic. Which is not how this works goddamnit. Or Jehovah damn it? Idk.

What’s all this “we” shit? My people were Quakers.

He just said “historic,” he didn’t say what part of history.
