National Review's Jim Geraghty has written a column titled The Antisemites Are Out, and the Masks Are Off and says "On the menu today: Because you need to be reminded of it, I do see a lot of good news out there this week. I can understand why the news can often be depressing and dispiriting, but the theme of the past few days has been dumb and hateful people revealing themselves to be dumb and hateful, in a way that their traditional allies cannot defend. It turns out that many college students have no idea what they’re chanting about when they say, 'From the river to the sea'; university presidents have cut themselves to ribbons walking through a plate-glass Overton Window; the Council on American–Islamic Relations self-marginalized itself when its executive director talked about how the 10/7 Hamas attacks on Israel made him happy; and a bunch of supporters of Palestine who insist they’re only anti-Zionist keep attacking Hanukkah menorahs.
"Some might find the events of the past few days depressing. Me? I prefer that the hateful and stupid remove their metaphorical masks — you notice how often they put on non-metaphorical masks? — and let us all know that they are hateful and stupid. It makes it easier for karma to catch up with them."
