The sad reality is that these types of attitudes are leading to and will increase anti-semitism.
I remember in the early 2000s realizing that the far left was going to far in their claims that the tech industry was full of hate. In the 2010s they were making stuff up. A nazi thing here. A white supremacist there. Movements that were present in my youth had been marginalized at this point. But they kept calling people Nazi that weren't. They kept calling people white supremacists because they were against quotas for speakers at conferences. I said to many of my friends that they are going to create what they claim to fear and hate.
I think this is what we are seeing. When you call people names like this for long enough some people are just wired to lean into it and say. Yeah, I am. And here's why. Its a human pattern outside of this political conflict. Its a rebellious nature in some people.
The same people that mock the left as snowflakes are doing the same thing on Israel. There are Jew hating people. Plenty of them. But far too many on the right and in Christian circles are lumping everyone into the same bucket because they are lazy and do not want to have a reasonable dialog. They have allowed fear and anger to overpower their ability to reason.
