“From the police to the courts “hate” only counts when the correct people are being hated.”
That is so true especially here in the United States. It’s mind boggling that my country and yours have both evolved into the idea that perception is reality.
Regarding the antisemitism on college campuses here....much of the protests are occurring at Ivy League universities, leftist colleges and universities. My daughter attends a large university in the south with about 30,000+ students. There have not been any protests or problems. There are also many other universities across the country that haven’t had these hateful protests.
One more thing that gave me hope in the midst of all the chaos that i wanted to share. I’m sure that most people probably haven’t heard about this. About two weeks ago, there was a procession in Times Square of over 5,000 Catholics including priests and nuns. There are videos on YouTube and it’s beautiful. My husband and I are Catholic and it brought us to tears while also giving us hope. I believe you are Catholic? If so I thought you would appreciate this. Here’s an article and a YouTube link.
Can’t believe the UK is so terrible and so lost - AND so much worse than what we have here in the US. That latter competition gives me some (temporary and useless) comfort
Thank you for writing this article. Your sentence “From the police to the courts “hate “ only counts when the correct people are being hated.” This really sums up the unsettling times we are living in.
It seems to have only gotten worse since October when this was written. I now regularly see progressives with hateful signs supporting the Houthis and promoting violence or hatred against Jewish people (not the government, the people). They also deny the atrocities of Oct 7th. It has certainly made me look at the world with a new perspective.
(…despite how much as Likud likes to do it themselves.)
Non-Israeli Jews in particular are *obviously* not responsible for the actions of the Israeli government, for better or for worse. If you were to actually look at the protest content, you would see that very, very few people disagree with this.
You, on the other hand, seem to think that any stain on the Israeli government must inherently implicate non-Israeli Jews.
Shame on you!

Also rather less shame on you for lazily ripping off a South Park episode from a quarter century ago with this post. You’re squarely a Millennial, basically the same age as I am, so you clearly must know that doing so is cringe aging-Gen-Xer sнiт. You can’t even be *competently* antisemitic, tsk tsk…
Thank you for this. It is well written, and a *excellent* example of the ideology of hate speech!

I was there. Your speech was superb. And well done for calling out Joanna Cherry on her use of the word “genocide”.
Can we PLEASE stop using the Orwellian phrase “hate crime” and return to the already sufficient and complete “crime”? Please for the love of God!

‘But “hate" in the legal system is token, pointless and joined at the hip with political correctness.’ -
Yep. It’s also connected to my fave ability of the state and the legacy media indulgent public- mind reading.
Equating Jews with Israel is antisemitic.
