Israel

Many college educated liberals believe that there is hidden racism in the Midwest and Southern parts of the country. Thus the Hilary description of this group as deplorables but people in the middle of the country do not see themselves as racist. There has always been the same feeling about antisemitism and that seem to have more credence as protest have broken out across the country. The issue of antisemitism has been contaminated by the concept of oppressor and oppressed. Many groups of protesters see Israel as the oppressor that just happens to be Jewish. Antisemitism has been around for 3,000 years and Jews have been the oppressed. It is only since 1948 when Israel became a state that the Jews have become the oppressors and that is the result of the wars where they defeated a much larger army. Since the United States supplied Israel with the weapons they needed to win these wars the US has become the big Satan. The whole strategy of Hamas is to play the roll of the oppressed and this fits right in with what colleges have been preaching for years. The same idea has filtered down into high school.
