For too many U.S. politicians, activists, and everyday citizens, antisemitism is only condemned when it is perfectly convenient. But Jews are not a political football; we are people.
One of the biggest falacies is believing that American anti-Semitism is equally on the left and the right. The anti-Semites on the right are mostly far right lunatics, very small in numbers. Compare that with the left-wing anti-Semites, who are in Congress, on our campuses, are active left wing LGBTQ and feminist radicals, marching in our streets. None of them are voting Republican, last I checked. If they have any political affiliations, they are most likely Democrats.
The antisemitism within the Democratic Party, our elite university presidents, the agitators in the widespread university riots, and the Dearborn, MI crowd in general is repugnant and reprehensible!
You are absolutely correct, Paul. On the right, it is a bunch of disorganized lunatic-fringe idiots, who are derided by the rest of those on the right.
On the left, they are the core of the progressive movement. They are everywhere, and they are in charge. They are in the State Department, issuing visas. They are in charge of admissions to universities, deciding who will be the next doctor or lawyer. They are in Congress, influencing foreign policy. They run the k-12 schools and are indoctrinating the next generation of Jew-haters.
As opposed to the right, the left venerates people who are antisemitic. They have lost their moral compass. The left values people like George Floyd, Luigi Mangione, and despises heroic Daniel Penny.
On the right, there are a couple of thousand people willing to show up in Charlottesville with tiki torches. On the left there are millions of highly organized people, funded by NGOs, woven through society in ways to try to both excoriate and exorcise Jews from ever regaining any power in society.
Good article, but please be accurate: "[those who] claim that there were 'fine people on both sides' at white supremacist marches." It has been thoroughly debunked and even admitted by liberal media that Trump never said that in the context it was presented. He was talking about a group of people who wanted a statue torn down and a group protesting because they didn't want it turned down. You can even verify this yourself if you watch the full video.
The Land of Israel was given to the Jewish People who after centuries of persecution and the Holocaust reestablished a sovereign Jewish state and made a barren desert flourish There never was and never will be another state in the Clancy Israel because history teaches us that no other occupier was able to develop the country and turn arid deserts into a flourishing country
Because it was God who gave the land of Israel to the Jewish people, you will see that those who stand against her are the same who reject the morality and holiness of the law, and are those who have the loudest voices.
Neither side has a monopoly on antisemitism. The far-right tends to be more openly and violently antisemitic, while the far-left may express it through anti-Israel rhetoric or ideological frameworks that erase Jewish identity or agency. Both forms are dangerous and often reinforce each other.
You are Amelia, so absolutely right!!!?...... It's really disgusting to witness antisemitism all over again....and to have unfortunately persons in Congress, who utterly don't belong there, like Alexandria Ocassio Cortez (D) and Marjorie Taylor Green (R)...... Am Israel Chai....

Sadly, antisemitism is an equal opportunity, equal party available employer.

Yes. Thank you for clarifying this point for the writer and the audience.
The Democrats have thrown Israel and the Jewish community under the bridge to please their radical base
The Land of Israel was given to the Jewish People who after centuries of persecution and the Holocaust reestablished a sovereign Jewish state and made a barren desert flourish There never was and never will be another state in the Clancy Israel because history teaches us that no other occupier was able to develop the country and turn arid deserts into a flourishing country

Because Israel is the occupier, colonialist, oppressor, privileged, etc etc. What utter BS and ignorance

Tell that to the Columbia janitors that were held hostage by the pro-Hamas students.

Been reading Future of Jewish for a couple of months now - all amazing and insightful. This is the one that convinced me to hit the "donate" button.
