Antisemitic incidents have been on the rise for years, this is only going to make things worse. I'm alarmed that people aren't more concerned with this, according to the ADL 2022 had the highest number of antisemitic incidents since they started tracking them in 1979.
From 2019 to 2022 the percentage of Americans who believed in at least six antisemitic tropes went from 11% to 20%.
The non deadly attacks dont get much notice, but there have been tons of incidents where Jews were harassed or beaten outside of Synagogues. Jewish students are facing increasing levels of antisemitic bullying in schools, and colleges. While antisemitic vandalism has been increasing in a similar fashion.
Antisemitic political figures are becoming more and more mainstream.
RFK Jr. a man who claimed that Covid-19 was biologically engineered to spare Jews, is reguarly allowed to speak on national news channels, and has been polling far above the level someone like him should be.
Paul Gosar, and Marjorie Taylor Greene, have promoted antisemitic conspiracy theories and attended a white supremacist rally organized by an avowed antisemite. Gosar recently had his committee assignments restored, and Marjorie Taylor Greene was made speaker pro tempore by McCarthy. A woman who claimed that Jewish space lasers were starting Californian wildfires was allowed to hold the speaker's gavel. What happened to America?
Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, dined with Nick Fuentes, an avowed white supremacist and Nazi. When outrage ensued, he refused to apologize.
Imagine if Richard Nixon, or Ronald Reagan, or George Bush had dined with a Nazi, and when confronted refused to apologize for doing so, imagine the outrage, imagine how many Republican senators and congressman would have stood up and done something, imagine how many Americans would have turned away from them in disgust. The fact that Donald Trump can get away with something that egregious shows that America is going down a dark path.
This needs to be addressed now, America is rotting from the inside, and if we dont do something now it will be too late.
Let’s not forget to include Ilan Omar regularly promoting anti-Semitic tropes on Twitter or Rashida Tlaib promoting debunked conspiracy theories about Israel bombing hospitals, or is that (D)ifferent?
