Here is a story I’ll share. One of the devastated Nova Survivors I was treating could barely speak. He played a crucial role in saving many of the 3,500 festival goers. Yet, like many others I treated, he didn’t see himself as a hero. The lives he couldn’t save haunted him.

In the old antisemitism, we Jews were labeled as non-white to devalue and disempower us. In the new antisemitism, we Jews are labeled as white to devalue and disempower us. The antisemitic virus can easily flip these socially constructed racial categories to perpetuate itself.
