In Europe, whenever multiethnic groups of workers and peasants started to build power from below, threatening to challenge entrenched wealth, spasms of anti-Semitic propaganda soon followed. Again and again, rootless Jewish devils were pitted against the rooted, ethnically pure Christian citizens of the nation-states in which Jews were never fully accepted, from Spain to France to Poland. The perennial evil twin. These methods have recurred through the centuries for a simple reason: they work. They were a reliable means of blasting apart nascent alliances and coalitions of working people and safeguarding the interests of the wealthy and powerful.
"What is characteristic of phantasms is that they are placed (and place what could be called "the subject of phantasm") on both sides of a border, a boundary, a limit, a frontier. When there is a border, a limitation, the phantasm lets one on the other side, and not only provides a contraband access through the border, but also keeps one on both sides at the same time... There is no logic of the phantasm... The phantasm is phantasm because it allows one to stand on both sides of a border, for example, allowing one to imagine one's own corpse, while being still alive." Darin Tenev, "La Dรฉconstruction en enfant: the Concept of Phantasm in the Work of Derrida"

The election of Donald Trump and the rise of the alt-right signified a radical shift in antisemitism โ€” away from assimilationism, and towards segregationism. And hereโ€™s the part where I get to talk about conditional whiteness! See, a few years ago, there was this trend in online Jewish spaces to start using the term โ€œwhite-passingโ€, as an attempt to absolve White Jews of whiteness. The White Jews pushing it claimed that if they publicly identified themselves as Jews, the antisemitism they would face would be analogous to antiblack racism. This was, of course, nonsense. Antisemitism works very differently from other forms of racism in a way where โ€œpassingโ€ doesnโ€™t really apply, and the people of colour who actually coined the term โ€œwhite-passingโ€ quickly called this out.
This book is a work of fiction. Any references to historical events, real people, or real places are used fictitiously. Other names, characters, places, and events are products of the author's imagination, and any resemblance to actual events or places or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental.

That's the core here. Hurwitz cannot cope with a younger generation of Jews recognizing the obscenity in what her Zionism has convinced her is justifiable. It is the same animating spirit as Rabbi and former IDF tank commander Ammiel Hirsch's appalling "We wanted you to be Zionists" sermon condemning Jewish youth. Like Hirsch, it is unbearable to Hurwitz that more and more people, and especially her people, see villainy in what she has always understood as heroism. She must un-Jew us to spare herself the implications. And here's the thing: I recognize that. My Jewish educationโ€”and indeed my Holocaust educationโ€”made me into a Zionist once, too. That was its purpose. I performed the same mental and moral contortions to explain away the crimes of the State of Israel. While I didn't understand it in this way at the time, later I had the clarity to understand that I feared if I stopped, there would be nothing left of my Judaism, nothing important, not in the historical sense. But that only revealed to me, in time, how little I understood of the righteousness of what Hurwitz dismisses as "certain prophetic values." Zionism stopped me from understanding those values and their instructions. Zionism stood in the way of my Judaism, to say nothing of my humanity. It is by no means the worst crime of Zionism. But it is an enabling crime. Sarah, you are right about one thing. You and I are part of a family. We are both the children of Israel. (For the gentiles: this does not mean the State of Israel, it refers to the global Jewish community.) And I say to you in that spirit that you should sit with those feelings of horror at being perceived as the obscene one. It is your path, and not only yours, out of the abyss.
What Hurwitz objects to is that Holocaust education works. She is not upset that TikTok is driving misperceptions of the genocide. She is upset that the various social media vectors through which people hear directly from Palestinians drive accurate perceptions of the genocide. She is upset that those perceptions are unavoidable because of Holocaust education. Fearful of activating antisemitism, she doesn't want Israelis, or any Jews, to be thought of as rapacious murderers. I sympathize. But the only way that will happen is for Israel, whose flag displays the Star of David, to stop murdering Palestinians (and Lebanese, and Syrians, and Iranians, and Yemenis, and and and), and for Jewish institutions beyond Israel to stop rationalizing it.

But the supreme King of kings, the Holy One, Blessed be He, stamped all people with the seal of Adam the first man, as all of them are his offspring, and not one of them is similar to another. Therefore, since all humanity descends from one person, each and every person is obligated to say: The world was created for me, as one person can be the source of all humanity, and recognize the significance of his actions.

Quote from A. D. Gordon: "[W]e are a parasitic people. We have no roots in the soil, there is no ground beneath our feet. And we are parasites not only in an economic sense, but in spirit, in thought, in poetry, in literature, and in our virtues, our ideals, our higher human aspirations. Every alien movement sweeps us along, every wind in the world carries us. We in ourselves are almost non-existent, so of course we are nothing in the eyes of other people either."
