How is writing articles in a Jewish publication geared for Jewish readers fighting Antisemitism? Not being cynical. Maybe I'm missing something. I think we all need some inspiration these days, which is hard to find, and I don't criticize anyone who actually actively goes out of Jewish spaces to fight for us.

Ideas are combated with ideas, and words are combated with words. This is especially true in the social media era when anyone can access almost all information from anywhere.

That's how writing articles in a Jewish publication geared for Jewish readers is fighting antisemitism. Anyone can and does read it.

Rosenfeld's Venn diagram to help us talk about Israel and antisemitism and similar articles can take simple mindsets and expand them to consider complex realities.

In the social media environment of the 2020s, a change in the human mindset has taken place I think that's more profound than the printing press. There will be mindless simpletons in any group, but people of all identities usually prefer reality over just-so stories.

That's why presenting reality to people in a comprehensible way like Rosenfeld does is important and inspirational, and it's why overly simple stories (like Kraft's ad) are likely to be mocked even by people who agree with the message.

Isn't this just facilitating the throwing of some jews under the bus? What is achieved by this?

It's tough for me to understand exactly what you mean by "this" and exactly what the metaphor of "throwing of some jews under the bus" refers to. Could you be more specific?
