Pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered on the University of Colorado Boulder campus on Tuesday evening, chanting calls to "Bomb bomb Tel Aviv." The author interprets this as a reflection of a perceived double standard among some Gaza civilian advocates: that bombing Gaza's population is unacceptable because they are civilians, while bombing Israel's civilian population is permissible because they are Jewish.
The author states that the topic of antisemitism became unavoidable for her following the October 7, 2023 attacks. She believes that the "virus of Nazism," which she claims has mutated and returned despite the passage of eighty years, has only intensified since that date. This, coupled with what she describes as a "perversion of good and evil," the "exaltation of savagery as a virtue," and a loss of the understanding that Jewish people are human and feel pain, compels her to continue addressing the issue of antisemitism.
She expresses bewilderment at the world's continued functioning after events like the killing of the Bibas children, while simultaneously witnessing public support for Palestinian causes, including sending aid to "terrorists." The author feels compelled to voice these concerns daily to maintain her own sanity.
