Had antisemitism itself remained a peripheral prejudice, that evolution might merely have been disappointing. But anti-Jєωιѕн hate has surged since October 7, 2023, in the form of civil terrorism, street violence, targeted attacks, and the mainstreaming of conspiratorial figures on both left and right. The ADL’s approach—count incidents, denounce them, offer a free trip to the h0Ɩ0cαųst museum—has proved worse than useless in response.
The old ADL model—rooted in law-enforcement partnerships, deterrence, and unapologetic civic defense—is the most obvious answer. The job of a serious defense organization is to make it dangerous to menace Jews…
In January 1993, the San Francisco Police Department reported that it had recently raided the Northern California headquarters of the ADL based upon information provided by the FBI. The SFPD discovered that the organization had been keeping intelligence files on more than 600 civic organizations and 10,000 individuals, overwhelmingly of a liberal orientation, with the SFPD inspector estimating that 75% of the material had been illegally obtained, much of it by secret payments to police officials.
A recent episode at a Barstool Sports-owned bar in Philadelphia illustrates the point. Patrons ordering bottle service can ask staff to arrange a light-up letter board with a custom message—usually something tame, like “Go Birds.” But on one night in May, a customer instead asked for a “F*** the Jews” sign, and the staff obligingly held it up as he chanted the curse on video.Barstool’s founder and president, Dave Portnoy—himself Jєωιѕн—fired the employees on the spot. Then, after talking to the usual polite, center-left professional antisemitism consultants, he offered the culprits an all-expenses-paid trip to Auschwitz. Within a day, one of them pivoted to denial and self-victimization, and Portnoy rescinded the offer. The man has since reinvented himself as a full-time online antisemite.
Basically, every MAGA person is now calling for a police state. Further, they demand much more extreme censorship than Democrats ever called for. Whereas Joe Biden secretly communicated with social media companies, ordering them to censor things he did not like, the Trump Administration is openly threatening to use the power of government to silence people. Pam Bondi, who is a really dumb bitch, is saying she is going to start arresting people “on both sides” for “hate speech,” something which is not only not illegal, but which the Supreme Court has repeatedly said does not exist and cannot exist in America…Meanwhile, Trump has taken to using comic book villain rhetoric about “an invasion from within” as he releases the military onto the streets for unclear purposes…. Citing Kirk’s death, James “JD Vance” Bowman is talking about retraining law enforcement to focus on political enemies of the president…Within the context of this new war against political “enemies within,” Trump is talking about using American cities as training grounds for the US military….The only explanation as to why they would choose these terror raids, choose to release the military, I asserted, is that they are not actually trying to remove every immigrant one by one, but rather trying to get people used to the idea of military and militarized police on the streets throwing random people into vans.
