The article warns that antisemitism is becoming socially acceptable again — not only on political fringes but increasingly in mainstream conservative spaces. In the US, far-right figures like Nick Fuentes are being invited onto major talk shows, signalling a dangerous normalization of openly antisemitic voices.
The author also points to a troubling trend where some political actors publicly declare themselves “pro-Israel” while simultaneously collaborating with far-right groups that have long antisemitic histories. This creates a false appearance of solidarity with Jews while allowing old prejudices back into the mainstream.
In Switzerland, the article highlights the case of the Bührle art collection. Instead of continuing honest provenance research into artworks acquired in the Nazi era, some media and institutions are shifting towards a defensive narrative that downplays historical responsibility. This risks sending the message that accountability for antisemitic-era injustices is optional.
Overall, the article argues that society is entering a phase where antisemitism is being reframed, softened, or culturally excused — and that this trend must be confronted early before it becomes normalized.
