>>2353323>What can we do to make Jews in the diaspora feel safer so that we can effectively combat Zionism and save the Palestinians from genocide?Combat attempts to dehumanize Jews. But other than that, I dunno.
The issue of antisemitism (as I see it) isn't really some liberal-type question about Jews existing somewhere on a pyramid of oppression, which means we have to hold their hands in this condescending bullshit way. It's not just a "Jewish issue" as a lot of idpol-type movements are via discrimination, but something deeper and irrational, and more of a psychological refuge for people who can't cope with complexity, or real political responsibilities. It can also be a way to avoid addressing whatever the problem is. It's also frequently a projection of undesirable traits in the person who is antisemitic or within political movements that are antisemitic. Everyone here knows internet Nazis talk about Jews being highly manipulative child groomers but THEY are highly manipulative and operate in bad faith (if you've ever interacted with them on 4chan), groom kids, and lie all the time.
Antisemitism is fundamentally not based in rational thought. For Sartre, it's a form of willed irrationality in which someone
chooses to be unreasonable because it frees him from responsibility, nuance, and doubt. And to feel part of a moral crusade without having to think critically.
Leaving aside moralization, one problem with this is that it's disastrous for forming a coherent strategy. They don't care about truth or logic. They substitute scapegoating in place of strategy. Such movements are prone to internal contradictions, dogma, and paranoia. Vis-a-vis Israel, I believe a movement based on these concepts is going to lose hard to the Zionists. A movement from the left cannot be based on that. It has be based in reason, responsibility, and universal values. This is also why the Israeli government and allied organizations in my country like ADL goes so hard against the left. They don't really fear the antisemites because they're incompetent and stupid and un-strategic. They are not intimidated by them.
Antisemitic regimes in history have also tended to collapse and the opposite of what they wanted to do ended up happening. It's not because "the Jews" have God on their side and He punished them. But it's built into the thought process of the antisemite to project blame for why things are going to hell onto the Jews rather than fixing the problem. There are anons who post here sometimes that are like "I'm becoming an antisemite… and then" they imagine this future where a bunch of antisemites rise up and that solves the problem. But what examples in history can they point to here? Tsarist Russia? Another notable example was the Third Reich which probably contributed (in an unintentionally Hegelian way) to the formation of the state of Israel by doing the Holocaust. You're getting the picture.
