Excellent and informative discussion of antisemitism and the insidiousness of antisemitic tropes in western culture. Highly reccomended read.
As the white Christian nationalist admin gears up, it may be useful to see how the antisemitic tropes used today began & took shape.
Especially since they usually, more than other oppressions, rely on a certain invisibility, unspeakability.
Getting clarity what you’re seeing can be illuminating.

Every part of this article resonates. And there's THIS:
"Vocal individuals have also had immense power in banning books: The Washington Post reported in May that 60% of book challenges in the 2021-2022 school year came from just 11 people."
We have to be JUST as vocal.
