As a Jewish New Yorker, Freleng explains how Israel\u2019s government relies on creating a dangerous feedback loop\u2014fueling global antisemitism to justify its own existence as the \u201conly safe haven\u201d for Jewish people, while exploiting European history to mask the ongoing colonization of Palestine. Netanyahu\u2019s political strategy explicitly ties all Jewish people to Israeli state actions, intentionally fueling global antisemitism to drive fear and dependency on the state. \u201cAs a Jewish person, it\u2019s terrifying. Netanyahu intentionally conflates all Jews with Israel to make sure they always have antisemitism to justify their existence. We need to be anti-Israel state policy, not antisemitic.\u201d You cannot end oppression by using historical trauma to justify a modern apartheid state.
