It's amazing how the ordinary person doesn't realize their disdain for even an iota of (in this case, imagined) "antisemitism" (and just "racism" in general) does not come from a place of love or whatever, but from a place of fear. They fear consequence. They are afraid. They are forced, through fear, into accepting policy unquestioningly.

They fear saying something, and then the mob coming after them and attacking not only them, but their families; their children. They fear a (pun intended) Biblical response.

How can a group of people be so powerless; so weak, and yet they're able to control a bloodthirsty mob and direct it as they see fit against the slightest infraction?

How are they able to have so much power, that they don't even need to physically direct the mob. The mere thought. The mere thought about a thought. That is enough to make people panic and then recant things that they haven't even said. It's like a CIA blacksite torture session. They'll say anything, anything to get the torture to stop, to make the fear for their life go away.

That is a giant amount of power there. And yet, no one ever talks about that power (for obvious reasons).

How can we have "brotherhood" when the "brother" we have is forcing us to "love" him, essentially under pain of death. That's not a "loving" relationship, that is 100% an abusive one.

@Aldo2
We... Dont. We dont direct these mobs, heck I didnt even know there are mobs like that. For the entire of history jews always had that "jew" stamp on them, and sadly we still do, and its f-ed up. Anti semitism is a problem, just like racism, and its a rather thin line, and we will have those problems until we as a society can finally drop all those labels(this also stands with people claiming some are rasict because they criticezed a minority or something)

"Until we as a society can finally drop all those labels"

I've wisened up to be able to tell that this is ominous, rather than uplifting, language.
