Dave Portnoy says Australia terror attack 'borderline inevitable' as hatred trends into 'mainstream' culture

In the wake of the attack, Portnoy decried the openly antisemitic rhetoric that he said has moved into the mainstream. He said antisemitism has surged in the last couple of years, driven by the conflict in the Middle East and what he described as Israel losing the "war of public opinion." "To be honest, for a lot of Jews, I think the easier thing to do is just be quiet and not put yourself in the scrutiny of the public eye," he added.
