Antisemitism has imposed a pervasive and pernicious double standard on the Jewish people for thousands of years, rampant during periods of extreme persecution but less overt during in periods of enlightenment, but always lurking in the swamp of human malevolence. Since 1948, that double standard extended to Israel with varying intensity. After the October 7 massacre by Hamas, it exploded into civilized society, shattering a delusion that the Holocaust would prevent ancient hatreds from resurfacing globally. “Never again” was crushed by “yet again.”
