It was given a microphone there – but it was born in a completely different place.

It was given a microphone there – but it was born in a completely different place.
The new anti-Semitism doesn’t scream, it smiles.
It doesn’t burn synagogues – it puts on a podcast and it doesn’t come from the margins – it comes from the studio.
A post with a dash of humor and a dash of sadness about the astonishing gap between two words that are not really similar, but for some reason are labeled as “the same thing”:
The rift will not be closed with a speech, nor a reconciliation post, nor a fake hug in the studio.
It will only be closed when one side stops lying or when the other side stops apologizing.
And this time, a satirical column, sharp but not inflammatory, that seeks to address one of the popular slogans of the humanist-relativist era.
If there was a Nobel Prize for throwing Israel under the wheels, Europe would already win it every year.
Maybe it’s time we stop being surprised: this is not a bug, it’s a function. As long as Europeans are looking for a cheap sense of morality – we will remain their favorite scapegoat.
