There is no excuse for it or its being allowed to continue. It is as it has always been, anti-Semitism/Jews are cheap and worthless to way too many people. Therefore, bigotry against us, well, not "really" bigotry in the eyes of those who spew it, defend it, and/or excuse it. Even worse, many a Jew also involve themselves in the process of denying, minimizing, mocking, or dismissing anti-Semitism.

I wish I could say "it will get better" but, frankly, I can't even swallow it enough to say it.

Just try to keep on, keeping on. It is what we do!
