When the level of antisemitism starts to rise, people make excuses for why it should be ignored
Israel: State of a Nation
Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, discusses a common social phenomenon where rising antisemitism is often minimized or rationalized until it reaches a perilous level that becomes uncontrollable. Greenblatt emphasizes the importance of early recognition and action against antisemitism to prevent it from becoming a severe threat. He suggests that society often overlooks or inadequately addresses anti-Jewish sentiment until it becomes too dangerous to ignore. This points to a need for proactive engagement and awareness to combat antisemitism effectively before it escalates to harmful levels.
