Tamkin imagines antisemitism is a partisan problem and rehashes every failed approach the mildly left of center US DemSoc crowd has proposed forever, like its new and provocative. 😴

"The question is not whether we should try to fight #antisemitism. It’s how. What if we took [Brett] #Stephens’s premise — that these efforts aren’t working — and imagined what could?

Since Stephens’ speech, our communal reaction has been too focused on the smaller-scale issues he raised. Was his critique of the #ADL reasonable? Was he right that #Jews are hated because of our “virtues and successes,” and that antisemitism is too powerful for appeals to tolerance and education to work? By focusing on such questions, we risk missing the bigger picture. Antisemitism will never be fully eradicated. Still, if, as one study suggests, some 45% of #Republicans under the age of 44 feel that Jews are a threat to the #American way of life, the answer can’t be to shrug."

"There is now a #Jewish debate about fighting #antisemitism. And we need to consider what exactly we are arguing about when we argue about it.

[Brett] #Stephens’s thesis might seem provocative now, but it wouldn’t shock medieval #Jews. #AvrahamGrossman points out that #Rashi often depicts the nations of the world as “lying in wait to attack and devour the #Jewish people.” #Grossman writes that this is not surprising, considering that the renowned medieval commentator’s community was massacred during the #FirstCrusade, and endured multiple #antiJewish edicts.

In his commentary on the #Torah, Rashi quotes the phrase from the #Midrash saying that “it is a rule that #Esau hates #Jacob.” This means that antisemitism is a metaphysical reality; the spiritual heirs of Esau will always hate the descendants of Jacob. Antisemitism will never end.

Rashi’s attitude to antisemitism remains influential today."

"Every organization that fights #antisemitism has its own list of action items.

The question remains: With all these groups fighting the same general problem, why is the problem getting alarmingly worse?

It’s too facile to counter that things might be even worse without those efforts. Even if that were true, it’d be like saying that very bad is better than very very bad. Lame consolation.

Maybe that’s why #BretStephens struck a nerve with his much-discussed “State of World #Jewry” address, when he called the fight against antisemitism a “well-meaning but mostly wasted effort.”

We can debate whether that was an exaggeration (as I have), but we can’t deny that #Stephens put his finger on the most uncomfortable question in #philanthropy: Is my money making a difference?

To put it more delicately, if we assume that we all want the same thing– reduce antisemitism while building a thriving #Jewish future—what is the best way to allocate resources?"
