The article is an hysterical rant. As a Soviet Jew I am of two minds here: first of all when I came to the US in 1978 I came with a naïve impression or hope that I left all possible antisemiticsm behind in Soviet Latvia I came from. I believed that that the old world biological antisemiticsm is impossible in the US. I assumed there could be individual instances of it and I did encounter a few. But honestly for my 45 years in the US I never even remotely experienced antisemiticsm. However things started to change after Trump with surge of right wing antisemitism ("Jews will not replace us" and Pittsburgh massacre). I was hoping that it will go away. And to some extent it did until the horrible summer is 2020. The summer of racial reckoning. And we the Jews stood side by side with our black and brown brothers in oppression and supported them and marched and chanted. But something was off: I noticed that no matter what we say or what is done to us by antisemites we do not deserve the DEI protected minority statu
