Until our dearly beloved President Obama removed it, there was a bust of Winston Churchill in the Oval Office donated by a group of Churchill’s friends (including Averell Harriman) in 1965. I was in that office and saw it a few times. And every time I saw that bust, it recalled to mind his quote at the point of deepest despair, … “We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, We shall never surrender.” Churchill was rallying a people in clearly their darkest hour, …, and he led a nation at war and a fighting force. For the most part, Hitler’s supporters were not randomly killing British civilians on the streets of other countries.
So, this is not exactly the same situation we face today in a modern world constantly being reminded many still operate in the 8th century. But, “we shall never surrender.” And I must say, no President in history has been more resolute than President Trump in resisting and fighting anti-Semitism and equating resistance to Israel’s right to exist, Jews, and anti-semitism as one. For it is. It is hatred for no reason and we have every reason to understand that whether it is real racism, anti-semitism, or ethnic cleansing, … it has no place in our world and “We must never give in.”
It's not the same world we grew up in Ms.Pletka. and I too feel the fatigue. But each of us can contribute to the good fight by living our own lives with character and virtue. Eternal vigilance. Take care.
Over at Commentary, Abe Greenwald wrote almost exactly what I was feeling:
Over the past year and a half, some sort of switch inside me has flipped. The switch pertains to matters concerning Israel, Jews, and the liberal establishment. I admit it: I’m just no longer that thoughtful about certain things. Where I could once be circumspect, I am now, frankly, simple: The current enemies of the Jews must be taken down.

How bad can anti-Semitism get in America? Really, how much worse can it become?
I never tire of reminding people that the biggest colonial settler state in the world is the USA. But it's not alone. There's Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and in a certain sense Argentina. Nobody is calling for THEM to be eliminated (with the possible exception of the USA).
