things should be done; however, they will not banish antisemitism,
because it is a comprehensive worldview of a delusional-projective kind. Instead of downplaying antisemitism as mere prejudice, we have to
decipher it through a critique of the `antisemitic society┤, as Theodor
W. Adorno and Max Horkheimer put it in Dialectic of Enlightenment.[1] Antisemitism is best understood not as an anthropological constant but
as an ever-changing, always delusional reaction of some non-Jews to
their experience of an always-evolving society......."

"Enlightened" is not the description for such hateful
people as Adorno and Max Horkheimer. His "critical theory"
has dumbed down academic discourse and made people
afraid to talk. It's not a surprise they are considered to
take Israel's side.
