As we ponder the implications of the question raised in the message below: “Could this happen in Lincoln?”, we might also consider once again how antisemitic rhetoric has become normalized in Lincoln. The implication is that a Zionist conspiracy is encroaching dangerously upon our town, seeking to control the media, the educational system, and the government.
For those who don’t see how disturbingly insensitive, offensive, inflammatory and utterly frightening this sort of rhetoric is to so many Jews in this town, I weep. For those like my family, who have long had our children under armed guard at their schools, camps, and places of worship, who have been so repeatedly traumatized by events over the course of the last 15 monhts, and who feel so deeply the pain of all those who have suffered in the war, I weep even more, as I see this town we love, once a sanctuary, succumb to a venomous rhetoric that is poisoning our community, and labels us as the enemy.
