The injustice hiding in the clothing of justice: AI Overview In October 2023, following the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7th, there was a noticeable surge in antisemitic incidents across the globe, particularly on university campuses. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) recorded a significant increase in such incidents, including rallies, vandalism, and harassment, many of which made reference to Israel, Zionism, or Palestine. While the exact nature of the connection between "woke/DEI" ideology and this surge in antisemitism is a subject of ongoing debate, some sources suggest a link. One perspective, as articulated by the American Enterprise Institute, is that "woke" DEI ideology, with its emphasis on framing the world in terms of oppressors and oppressed, may inadvertently place Jews in the category of "oppressor," which in turn can lead to harsher moral judgment and justification of antisemitic actions. This view is echoed by some critics who argue that within the DEI framework, Jews are often perceived as "white, privileged oppressors". This perspective suggests that this framing can create a hostile environment under the guise of promoting social justice.
