Despite it being a made-up word describing an imaginary phenomenon, anti-Semitism surged again this year, sparking calls for more censorship, more Holocaust education, more funding
If other readers of this substack pay attention to their local/national mainstream news outlets, I wonder if they notice that there is a regular (if intermittent) stream of stories about not just anti-semitism in the daily output of the MSM, but also about the Holocaust, Jewish holidays, noble acts of Jews, etc. etc.
If you mapped such articles out on a daily basis, you would probably find some pattern to all of it. I suspect the appearance of stories aimed at cultivating our idea of what "The Jews" are, is strongly correlated with drawing our attention away from specific, significant events. Like attacks on Palestinians, as one example.
