- Antisemitism is a bit of like a virus. And like some viruses, it exists in the kind of body politic and it's dormant like chickenpox. It's like this contagion. First it was after the, you know, the death of Christ. There were these accusations that the Jews killed Christ and that the Jews weren't a real religion because we didn't accept Christ and then we didn't accept Mohammed. So you have this, you know, the Jewish religion isn't legitimate, and that was the basis for the Crusades, which is at Tishba'ab, you know, remembers the, the expulsion. We had inquisitions. After the age of reason, it was, well, may and, you know, they realized that the sun doesn't revolve around the earth and the earth isn't flat.
- Then it was, okay, well, maybe Judaism is okay as a religion, but it's the Jewish race that isn't legitimate.
- And then we saw kind of antisemitism metastasize into this kind of race based form of hate, which, of course, exploded with the Shoah.
- And then after the tragedy of that, the injustice of that was exposed, people then said, well, it's not that their religion is illegitimate their race is illegitimate. Now it's the Jewish state that's illegitimate. And we see that now in the form of anti Zionism, which is anti Semitism.
