Well written! Its a complicated question, the problem, then as now but its gotten worse since then, is that it is far too centralized and homogenized. The ideological factors, which are heavily fueled by the homogenization, do matter to a significant degree and could cause problems beyond and outside of the main problem set, but the real core problem is that its centralization drives it to be a through and through propaganda arm for the deeply entrenched special interests within our far too centralized and deeply corrupted national political economy.
“Understanding what the term "anti-Semitism" means reveals is to recognise it is often narrowly defined to focus on Jewish people, even though "Semites" encompass a broader range of ethnic groups, including Arabs. The selective application of the term leads to a skewed perception of prejudice and discrimination.” From George’s Newsletter

Thanks! Nice take on the piece. Centralization and homogenization are indeed a factor!
Whenever someone describe something complicated this means it is not complicated.
If it’s really not that complicated then what’s the answer?
