The examples of antisemitism in the United States in recent weeks have been shocking to behold. Violent demonstrations on college campuses, tearing down posters of Jewish hostages held by Hamas, Jewish people being warned to avoid certain public areas ... it is all pretty repugnant.
Equally revolting is having to process the fact that so many Americans hold this hatred in their hearts. And while many do, to be sure, there is some evidence that a lot of this may be social contagion. Like the explosion in young girls who want to say they are boys over the past several years, some antisemitism may be people going along with the 'in' thing, and not truly understanding what they are saying. This is pretty horrible in and of itself and does not excuse their actions of course, but it is worth consideration.
This morning, Yaakov Langer posted a video on X showing the ignorance of some people when they learn what 'Free Palestine' really means. The video was made by comedian Mikey Greenblatt who asked people to sign his petition 'to help Hamas free Palestine' and the results are ... well, they're kind of hilarious when he shows these same people the 'terms and conditions' for his petition.
Watch how fast people flock to sign his petition and then, just as fast, hand his pen back to him when he shows them -- in Hamas' own words and deeds -- what Hamas actually stands for.
Yaakov Langer (@jacklanger) ~ Oh, you like Hamas?
Siding with Hamas isn’t easy when you know what they actually stand for.
Well done: FactsForPeace on IG

All of a sudden, the people react like Greenblatt's pen and clipboard are coated with anthrax.
OpposingViews (@OpposingViews) ~ Worth 2 watches. Then show this to any college kid you know and let us know what they thought.
Ferrari boy (@N31lcl) ~ Pure genius.
Quoth the Raven (@QTRResearch) ~ A necessary, yet extremely sad commentary on the state of our society as it exists today. Well done.
117th (@MSPTrooper21) ~ So few have read the Hamas doctrine.

Yeah, all of a sudden it ain't so grand after they are confronted with the truth.
