The thing that was done to them, not only in the 1940s, but of the thing that was attempted against them on October 7th, 2023, when there was a Nazi-like atrocity against the Jews of Israel, mass murder, mass kidnapping, mass rape, mass torture.
That was how this war started.
And so to redistribute the odium for those offenses, we redistribute it to those who need to have the history of the Holocaust redistributed away from them.
And that brings us to the shooting in Belleville.
And whenever I make these points, which are very close to my heart, I'm asked the question, well, are you saying that all criticism of the state of Israel must be anti-Semitic?
Can't somebody say things about the Jews and not be anti-Semitic?
And obviously, that's true.
People do it all the time, including many Israelis.
Israelis criticize their own state.
But if you say, I want to criticize the Jews without being regarded as anti-Semitic, one of the great ways of criticizing the state of Israel without being anti-Semitic is not to be anti-Semitic.
It's not so hard.
Not to have paranoid fantasies.
Not to engage in ancient anti-Semitic tropes.
Not to deploy myths of Jewish conspiracy and secret power and privilege.
Not, above all, say we are going to accuse the Jews of doing the thing that was done to them because they don't deserve the credit for it and someone else needs it as a resource for their power and privilege.
That is the path to the shooting in Belleville, Ontario, and to so many other crimes that we are seeing and suffering in our modern world.
And now, my dialogue with Jessica Tarlow.
But first, a quick break.
If you've ever caught the program The Five on Fox News, and who hasn't, you know exactly what Jessica Tarloff does for a living.
She regularly sits down at a table with four people who disagree with her, and she does not flinch.
