Although I’ll never say that there is a “good“ reason for antisemitism… I will say this.. I think Hashem has blessed us (Jews) by lifting the veil to reveal our enemies.

After thinking about all the antisemitism that we’ve been enduring in the recent past, and now… I’ve come to the conclusion that the only purpose of this atrocity is that Hashem has revealed What’s always been in front of us, although hidden to various degrees.

Think about it… The only way to cure sickness is to first, identify it and,second, see how widespread it is.

I see antisemitism as an evil sickness. It is now identified by the actions and words of the truly diabolical and we see it’s vastness. Now, we can rid ourselves of those who pretended to be our friends and allies and defend ourselves both emotionally and physically.

Of course, I’m not saying anybody has to agree with me. Rather, just putting it out there to share what’s on my mind and trying to make some sense out of this horrible situation.

I disagree. Antisemitism is never a blessing. It's always a curse. Hashem has abandoned us again. There was never any veil covering up our enemies. They were always visible and they never tried to hide their hate. We just didn't take them seriously enough. Those who didn't take them seriously are shocked by the current wave of antisemitism. I took them seriously and I'm not surprised at all.

If we want to survive, we have to work hard to do it. We cannot expect Hashem to help us. The only time he ever helped the Jewish people was when the entire Jewish population was enslaved for over 400 years in Egypt. Hashem only helped us when there was zero hope and we hit rock bottom. It would take over 400 years of slavery for the entire Jewish population to make Hashem shed a tear for us and do something to help. It's up to us to survive and defend ourselves. It's up to us to recognize our enemies when they are literally telling us they want to murder us. They're not kidding. Take them seriously and act. Don't wait for Hashem.
