In your point #5, you left out the fact that antisemites spilled out on campuses and streets before Israel responded to the slaughter. To say "antisemitism emerges from far-right white nationalism" and select 2 examples of violent incidents as the threat we're seeing is to have one's head buried in the sand. Those 2 examples were lone wingnuts, which we will always have from all sides, but the volcano of Jew-hate is organized and spewing from the left.
I don't think it's particularly "head buried in the sand" to point out those two examples on the right of something that did happen, but I concur with your point that the omission of the fact that there were people on college campuses celebrating the Gazan attack on Israel before Israel had even responded to that attacks is a rather significant one.
Honestly, in the days since the October 7 attack, I have been rather disturbingly enlightened as to the places where loathing of Israel and / or the Jews as a whole have been hiding. Quite a few people I know, from all across the political rainbow and hue table, have said things... well, things that simply made me respect them less, irrespective of what justification they used for their position.
I am alarmed at the anti-semitism in the US, which comes from both the left and right, with an awful Venn diagram intersection. The NYC mayor pounds the table about Gaza with no mention of Sudan, Nigeria, or elsewhere where slaughter/kidnapping/enslavement occur. And when I hear the stolen land, I always ask the person if they are willing to give up the land we took? That said, I do have issues with Jewish intellectuals. Because they felt so 'othered,' they have provided destructive rhetoric. Critical legal theory comes from the Frankfurt School. Repressive Tolerance was written by Marcuse. Both have proved cancerous. While in a Czech Republic bookstore, there was only one book in English. It was about the genocide against the Gypsies. It was brutal. We don't hear about what happened to them. We don't hear what happened under Mao or Pol Pot. I greatly admire that the Jewish bloodline/culture continues but that is a double edged sword. They did so by othering themselves. Everyone else melts into their conquerors. People disappear. I read that the people who created Stonehenge were not the same people conquered by the Romans.
The Azerbaijani attack on Nagorno-Karabakh, which occurred only a week before October 7, received essentially zero coverage, and the expulsion from there some 3 months later by the Azerbaijani of ethnic Armenians who had occupied that location continuously for the prior 4000 years gets no massive uprising of students. And it is, of course, just one more in a long line of travesties visited upon the Armenians.
Where is the outrage for that, outside of Armenia, and expat Armenian communities, and the some few autistics like myself who have a compulsive need for balance and sensemaking?
I was at an Armenian store in LA. There was serious discussion about going over and fighting. I only know about this because I was a frequent customer at the time. You are right. No media coverage.
Where exactly is this " Far Right White Nationalism"? If you're referring to the groypers- Tucker and Co, they're crazy about Pakistani, Iranian , Qatari, Palestinian, Hezbollah, Hamas, Nigerian terrorists, Chavez , Peruvian, Brazilian, Nicaraguan Mexican Cuban,Socio/Communist regimes, please tell me where the " Far Right White Nationalists " are?
Nick Fuentes is a Democrat. Richard Spencer, Jason Kessler are Soros leftist operatives-
David Dukes' " Most important member of Congress" is Ilhan Omar. Last I checked, she's neither white, right wing or nationalist.
I think the far right nationalists concept is mostly a construct of influencers, who need something to talk about. Conservatism itself doesn't have a far right. Neonazis and their ilk are socialists. Those who oppose foreign aid are libertarians, who roost with the conservatives but have no connection to the real world.

Every lousy, catastrophic form of tyranny begins with socialist ideology. Collectivism.Including Theocracy.
The most evil of all… Globalism.
