Art Katz addresses the alarming rise of anti-Semitism, which he describes as 'the new anti-Semitism,' highlighting its resurgence in mainstream society, including universities and social movements. He notes that this form of anti-Semitism is not only more widespread but also more accepted, with individuals openly expressing hostility towards Israel and the Jewish people. Katz draws parallels to historical events, warning that societal attitudes can shift dramatically and rapidly, as seen in Nazi Germany. He emphasizes the need for vigilance and preparedness as these sentiments become more commonplace, suggesting that we are approaching a critical time for the Jewish people, referred to as the Time of Jacob's Trouble.
