Powerful presentation by the late Rabbi Sacks of Britain explaining why anti-Semitism should not be not just a concern for Jews, but everyone. It is a canary in the mine that scapegoating has become a way of explaining why group A is not doing well rather than asking if group A has been doing something stupid to itself. You see this with other forms of racial hatred: are cultural problems in some urban communities creating poverty, violence, and educational failure, or can we blame systemic racism (which has been legally prohibited and generally derided by nearly all Americans for decades now).
This video points out that the distinction between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism is a distinction without a difference.
