Dr. al-Gharbi says “[S]urveys suggest that more than 80 percent of scholars who work on Middle East issues self-censor on the subject of Israel and Palestine. Overwhelmingly, self-censorship entails *refraining* from criticism of Israel …” and, amazingly, adduces this datum as evidence those 80 percent of scholars are *not* antisemitic!

What you are seeing now, to use your analogy, is the virus mutated and let loose upon a body already wracked by another disease, DEI. The young people, already prone to do what young people do - rebel, have been fed decades of hate and the belief that people of various backgrounds must be separated and judged accordingly. The outcome, if considered in those terms, is fairly predictable. Thus the wry "welcome to the club" that you see amongst many conservative white males. Unless and until we once again begin teach that people are individuals, not members of some monolithic group with their moral value cooked in at birth by their immutable characteristics, the path will get harder and darker for anyone on the "wrong" side of the road.
