What is the current understanding of antisemitism?

Do you remember this line from the night before Christmas? Quote, the children were nestled all snug in their beds while visions of sugar plums danced in their heads. the perfect winter slumber, but it's only possible if you can actually sleep.

Especially in Florida.
Tucker Carlson 1:19
Especially in Florida, exactly. So I just want to start with a clip that I saw this morning that I think is amazing and tells you a lot about a lot. This is from the Jerusalem Post Washington conference this weekend. The man speaking is a guy called Yehuda Kaplan. I don't think I've ever heard of before, but now apparently works at the State Department in the office to fight antisemitism, which I guess is part of the State Department. And here's what he said, watch this.
Yehuda Kaplan 1:48
I get off a plane. I am the president's representative and I am walking off with a yarmulke and I have kosher food and embassies will have kosher food. It is a game changer. The appointment is a game changer and it's not about history. It's about education and how do we educate. Indonesia has 350 million Muslims living in the country. How do we change their textbooks? How do we hold the people in Gaza accountable that if America is paying for UN textbooks and supposedly the changes are made, why are those textbooks not being used and why are they using their old textbooks? We have to teach people it's not okay to educate your kids to be a martyr. Okay, and we have to hold those countries accountable.
Yehuda Kaplan 2:38
How do we battle antisemitism on the internet? How are we doing better on algorithms? What companies can we work with? We are gonna have a whole division within the office of the special envoy to combat antisemitism that is going to work on technology. and working with the greatest leaders in technology, many of whom are Jewish and have offered their assistance. The office is going to be revamped entirely to be one of the highest profile offices in the State Department.
Matt Gaetz 3:09
Nothing will convince Indonesia to come our way. Like sending Rabbi Yehuda is probably my guess.
Tucker Carlson 3:14
How do we hold the people of Gaza accountable?
Matt Gaetz 3:17
So there is truth to the claim that in the pedagogy that is administered in a lot of places, there's incitement. Maya the martyr is a character. No doubt. And that is awful, and U.S. taxpayers shouldn't fund it, and we ought to hold anyone accountable who does. At the same time, the definition of anti-Semitism in recent times, according to some of the Israel First crowd in the United States, has really migrated. This isn't my line, but I certainly associate it with it. Anti-Semitism used to mean somebody who didn't like Jews. Now it just means somebody Jews don't like.
Tucker Carlson 3:54
That's not a standard that we can live with because the reason anti-Semitism is terrible, it's against my religion, I'm totally opposed to it, and by the way, it does result in violence. I think we just saw that, and I hate it. But anti-Semitism is wrong because hating anyone on the basis of their DNA is always wrong. It's a universal principle.
