Though it may start with the Jews, it continues with Christians and the western society, so beware if you are putting Israel down as a station or individual. Check out the motivation of ISIS

He was merely pointing out that today’s anti semitism is the same as before WW2 just packaged differently. But antisemitic nonetheless.

I don’t think Dovid is blaming CNN as causal. if he is he doesn’t it state that very clearly or directly (to #3). These outlets are not the cause of such violence even if we don’t care for how they report or what they chose to report. Dovid actually seems to be saying that this is an issue that will need to be addressed on many levels–including by accurate reporting by the media.

There’s the old age historic anti semitism ehich emanated from the far right. There’s also the anti semitism which emanates from the far left. Many times it gets disguised as anti zionism.

The recent verbal and physical anti Semitic assaults are mostly coming from muslims who anti semitism is motivated by anti zionism. This is something which didn’t really exist in that past.

You are correct but… I think Dovid’s point is that CNN and other media outlets are the cause for recent aroused antisemitism through their ongoing demonization of Israel.

As if there was no anti semitism before Israel came about…
What do ou think happened to all the Europeans from the times of the holocaust, it wasn’t fashionable anymore to hate jews, so they went home nad educated their children to love them???

The founders of zionism thought that there was anti semitism because Jews didnt have a home land, now you are saying that there is anti semitism because of that homeland.
They just hate us no matter what it’s been this way for ages and it still is.

It's the other way round

Demonization of Israel is because of anti-semitism.
