Don’t answer the antisemites; it’s a political war

The article argues that confronting antisemitism through debate is ineffective because it has evolved into a political weapon against Jews and Israel. It asserts that responding to accusations, such as blood libels or claims of an "Israeli lobby" controlling politics, is futile, akin to arguing during the Holocaust. The author highlights instances like the UN honoring a Hamas terrorist and Hollywood figures supporting Marwan Barghouti, who was convicted of five murders, as examples of this political weaponization.

• The article contends that antisemitism is no longer mere prejudice but a tool for political gain, used by entities like the UN, Turkey, Iran, and various political movements.
• It emphasizes that the disproportionate number of UN resolutions targeting Israel (15 in 2025 compared to 11 for all other countries combined) illustrates how politics fuels hatred.
• Instead of explanations, the author advocates for a political struggle, including criminal complaints, new legislation, and scrutiny of financial interests behind anti-Israel campaigns.
• The piece calls for defending the rights of vulnerable groups often disregarded by Israel's enemies and reclaiming institutions from ideologies that normalize hostility toward Israel.

The article concludes that the battle against antisemitism must be fought in the political arena, institutions, universities, international organizations, and culture, rather than by continuously refuting every lie.
