A Warning Sign for the West

We can add to this factor something as ephemeral and useless, but nevertheless important in our vapid culture: fashion. It is quite simple fashionable to be anti-Israel, and even antisemitic. For a Western culture that abhors history, that does not even teach history, fashion becomes the leitmotif of what is ‘really real’ and what is important. TikTok wisdom is more valuable than a doctorate. This is one of the reasons, I believe, that we have seen the explosion of antisemitism on college campuses, disguised as anti-Zionism. Never underestimate the power of higher education to produce imbecility.
