Thank you Ehud. I unfortunately see it as more of the former than the latter. In my analysis the level of human evil is just going to get worse as the population increases, and so too the level of antisemitism as well as broad indifference to it. My mystical practice has led me to identify with the desert prophet tradition. I fear that I am just a voice crying out in the wilderness and few are noticing or caring, and that little if anything will be accomplished by my screaming.

Ecclesiastes 1:17-18

"Then I applied myself to the understanding of wisdom, and also of madness and folly, but I learned that this, too, is a chasing after the wind. For with much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge, the more grief."

As I wrote about on Friday - https://godofthedesert.substack.com/p/2-numbers-which-reveal-the-overwhelming - the numbers of people, especially the younger generations, which have not learned the historical lessons of the Holocaust is horrifying. And I anticipate that trend to only get worse the more time passes, and the more the memories of history fade away.
