>The animosity towards the Arabs is more personal.
The other thing, btw, is that the Holocaust is a story of European Jewry but it's not the story of MENA Jews. They have their own history of expulsions and pogroms and their family members having to flee these places because angry crowds were coming for them with knives. But that's not the Holocaust. It's something different. Like the Farhud. There's just a lot of dissonance in the narratives in every direction around this issue.

Even the contradictions within these universities about "safe spaces." You make protecting minority students' emotions and feelings the utmost priority, and "safety" takes precedence over "knowledge." But what happens when your safety becomes a threat to my safety? Or, Jews necessarily have to become "white" in this theoretical construct otherwise the whole damn thing is going to collapse.

Even trying to fit Israel into a great-power framework vis-a-vis NATO and Russia/China doesn't make sense either. Did you know the Eurovision singer, Eden Golan, is on the Ukraine "kill list?" She was born in Russia and had performed in Crimea, which was apparently enough to get her on it, but if Israel really controlled the West, or vice-versa, presumably they could have gotten her removed from the list?

But I think everyone's conceptions, theories, frameworks for understanding the world are really undergoing breakdown right now. It's exciting!
