Correct. If one wants to explain the rise of antisemitism today - look at history.
Look at Nazi Germany.
Yes, that’s true, sadly.
Leftists tend to not mingle. They stay in their cloistered enclaves. They’ve shown outright disdain and hostility for anyone who is against their groupthink.
I worked in NYC for a LONG time. I generally met and knew all sorts of people - different races, religions, etc. I had familiarity with these folks, and respect for them. As such, I didn’t have a caricature-like stereotype of Jewish, etc. people. I didn’t think everyone Jewish was like Seinfeld.
Deplorables may be white, on balance, and Christian, on balance, but we are not isolationists like leftists. We work for a living, go to Church, and meet a wide swath of humanity. We probably even have a good laugh about stereotypes with our black, Jewish, and _____ friends.
However, I suspect most of these radicals on campus NEVER met someone who was Jewish AND religious. They may have met Jewish people but they weren’t religious or identified with their heritage. They may have been outright hostile to customs, tradition, and even Israel.
These leftist kids, therefore, see Jewish people who ARE religious as NOT like them. Since leftists tend to dehumanize people who are unlike them, they see religious Jewish people AND Israelis as subhuman.
