The USA is seeing unprecedented hate crimes against Jews and unprecedented anti-Jewish bigotry at all levels.

Jewish kids at school try to pretend they are not Jewish. Jewish adults try to pretend not to be Jews.

Do you think there is nothing the USA can do about this?

I think it is clear that many young Americans and young people around the world now hate Jews. And many even want Jews killed. It is perhaps better that these opinions be expressed openly and continually in public so that the public knows and understands the extent of this problem and can begin to address this via respectful loving dialogue.

Where do you think this massive Jew hatred comes from?

The old Christ killer charge?

The sin of not following and accepting Jesus as the Messiah of the Jews?

The sin of being far too successful in every sphere of of life, (including being massively overrepresented among billionaires, millionaires, Hollywood, entertainment, art, dance, music, corporate executives, co-founders of companies, members of founding teams of companies, angel investors, venture capitalists, private equity, I Bankers, asset managers, consultants, technologists, scientists, inventors, product developers, process innovators, top academic performers.)

I think the sin of being too successful is an outgrowth of global cultural marxism, post modernity, critical theory wave and the theory of disparate impact. People think that Jews must be cheating or oppressing or exploiting or being "white towards" or being "nazi towards" or supporting the patriarchy towards others. How else can Jews be so successful. I don't know how this theory can be fought.

I would note that a whole lot of Jewish Democrats, Jewish leftist, Jewish wokes support Gov Abbot's move. Jews feel vulnerable to attacks and Jew hatred all over the world (outside of some asian countries such as India, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam) at the worst level since the holocaust.

Wow! I totally disagree with these sentiments. This is not a question of policing speech. College campuses have become hotbeds of both antisemitic speech and actions. Jewish students are not simply being thin skinned about negative opinions about the Jewish people or Israel, but are being verbally and physically threatened because of their nationality. Bullying and intimidation focused on one group’s race or ethnicity is not free speech—particularly when it is accompanied by physical actions. The so-called pro Palestinian protests are not just expressing disagreement with Israeli policies or approaches to war fighting, they are aimed at intimidating Jews. If you want to understand the difference between free speech and verbal bullying and intimidation substitute black for Jews; and say that blacks are parasites and the KKK should be allowed to kill them all.
