The DC assassin is not a religious nutcase. Not a maladjusted outcast. Not a low-down vigilante.

140. As a Jew, I've been the paint on the proverbial broad brush all my life.

I am used to antisemitism. I know the difference between it being merely humiliating and being threatening. My point is that I see antisemitism getting past being merely normalized and socially accepted and becoming a real, personal threat. The assassination that we all witnessed is an unmistakable sign of this process taking hold within our society.

Society. It IS entire movements and groups now. And the movements and the groups in question don't seem to be interested in fighting this virus from within. Antisemitism is not an infection anymore, it's an epidemic.And movements and groups are in deep denial.. The virus of antisemitism is being taken for granted and is barely paid attention to. It's past the time when we could control the spread of this virus by isolating individual haters. It is out in the open. I no longer have the luxury of identify individual bigots - antisemitism surrounds me. It's everywhere. Now my mission comes down to protecting myself from physical harm.

It is on the aforementioned movements and groups to take action if they object to being stereotyped. I know danger is coming from within them, and I have other things on my mind than figure out who among them is the real antisemite and who merely tolerates them. I have a family to protect.
