Number of Americans believing antisemitic stereotypes nearly doubled since 2019

Poll finds that 85% of people in US agree with at least one racist trope about Jews, while 20% believe at last six; 20% think Jews have 'too much power'

I have no respect, AT ALL, for the ADL - but the data is the data. I also don't believe that the "number" of Americans who believe antisemitic stereotypes has drastically risen, I think that most of these people already believed in the stereotypes, but feel much more comfortable publicly admitting it, which is, in some ways, far worse. The reason that being a Jew hater is so much more acceptable is that the left is race obsessed (even thought they laughably deny it), but consider Jews "white." So when it was good to be white, we weren't white (ask the Nazis), but now that being white is "bad," they deem us white, and apply every (imaginary) egregious facet of "whiteness" to Jews (and often greatly magnify those negative qualities).

Either way, there is ZERO doubt that antisemitism in America is drastically more common than anyone believed before.

Why I think the Golden Age for Jews in America is coming to its end

The decline in the favorability of mainstream American views toward Israel has coincided with a rise in antisemitic violence, particularly in large metropolises, promoted by Islamo-Leftist groups.

Great article. Having grown up right in the middle of this “golden age,” it is obvious, and alarming, that we’re facing the first real era of widespread, active (meaning not hidden, but out in the open), antisemitism in my lifetime. Personally, I will NEVER shrink from being outwardly Jewish. I actually wear my Magen David (Star of David) even more (and just as obviously as I Walt’s have). I don’t think there is any way of reversing this. Americans are unprecedentedly ignorant of history, and the left has made the calculation that the demographics are in its favor of it ignores, or outright expresses hatred for, Jews. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib are exhibits A and B. The right has also made it clear that it will accept Jew haters as long as they agree with them ideologically. Lastly, the Jewish community, with the critical exception of Chabad, as totally failed to educate the last three generations, and has replaced genuine Jewish knowledge with its version of liberalism (which is actually leftism, and almost always at odds with actual Judaism). We also need more articles like this one, and Jewish organizations with some actual courage.

Queen Elizabeth II and the Jews

Six facts about the monarch’s tumultuous relationship with Jews, on the occasion of her Platinum Jubilee.

It’s easy to pay homage and respect to Holocaust survivors, only a monster wouldn’t. It is also easy to show respect to the Jewish community when they are your “subjects” (a term which, as an American-I truly despise). However, her family was clearly antisemitic for a very long time, and she refused to visit Israel. So the praise from some quarters of the Jewish community is misguided in my opinion. Yes, her reign was impressive, her behavior during WWII was valiant, and her service to her nation is unprecedented. That said, this family has some clearly antagonistic views toward the Jewish community.

“‘lf. Besides her resolute steadfastness in never visiting (Israel), the Queen also made troubling remarks on an official visit to Jordan in 1984. Shown a map of the disputed West Bank, which has been in Israeli control ever since the Six Day War in 1967, Queen Elizabeth called it “depressing,” and described Israeli planes flying in the West Bank as “frightening.” On that visit, she also laid a wreath at a memorial to Arab soldiers who died attacking Israel.’”

Thanks, Whoopi! Why Holocaust Education Is mostly counter-productive

Shoah education proposes that Jews are easiest to murder without payback, and it makes Jewish youngsters want to escape that fate. Op-ed.

I couldn’t agree more. The more secular Jewish community has spent 70 years saying “never again,” without spending that time teaching Jews what it means to be Jewish. Organizations like the ADL, the Federations, the National Council of Jewish Women and on and on and on have replaced Jewish identity in the United States with something that resembles American leftism more than anything authentically Jewish. That philosophy has an extremely distorted version of “tikkun olam” at its core. They then combine that with “Holocaust education” to justify participating in every imaginable left wing cause, often, sadly, even those that are anti-Israel, and sometimes even anti-Jewish. It is destructive and is one reason why the secular American Jewish world has utterly failed at inspiring people to live Jewish lives.

We have to fight antisemitism by fighting back, and not by repeating tired cliches and phrases. We have to inspire Jews by teaching them about Judaism and our history. Holocaust education is important, but it is only one part of that. We also have to accept that teaching the world about the Holocaust isn’t going to make them like us any more, or less, than they do now. Strength and conviction accomplish far more than conversations, memos, and everything else that the organized secular Jewish bureaucracy has been pretending (for decades) is effective.

Seventy six years ago my father came home fro World War 2 and was told that he could y enroll in Brooklyn College because they had a quota on the number of Jews allowed in the school and they had reached that quota. He eventually found his way in-but it was DESPITE the rampant antisemitism of the time. Its 2022 and nothing has changed. Things did get better. For a while. Now we’re in the same morass that we were in then-the only difference is that the perpetrators tend to look different these days. We’ve always been hated by the left and the right. It’s unquestionable that today the vast majority of antisemitism comes from the left, almost ALL of it couched in the language of being “anti-Israel” or “anti-Zionist.” Those are the excuses. However, it’s all the same thing. When it was bad to be white, we were deemed not white. Now the left believes that whiteness is bad, they’ve decided that we’re white. I’m totally sick of it. The time has come to fight back.

From the article:

“The complaint outlines how professors ‘have maligned Jews on the basis of race and ethnic identity" by claiming that Jews "contribute to the systemic oppression of people of color.’ Faculty, staff, and students disseminated ‘classical anti-Semitic trope that Jews possess disproportionate power and influence,’ the complaint reads. One professor slammed American Jews as ‘oppressors.’”

That’s typical leftist rhetoric. How anyone can be Jewish and naive enough to believe that this isn’t the exact same language used to denigrate us throughout history is beyond me. If anyone on the right, let alone people on virtually every single college campus, said that - they would be, correctly, endlessly condemned. The Jewish community needs to stop picking its battles based on politics.

Like a lot of things on the left, they are starting to say the previously unsaid, but understood, parts out loud. Their defenders will still insist that this isn’t antisemitism, because NOTHING is to them because, like all racists/bigots they believe their view are justified.

Jackie Mason: The 3 Constants in Life: Death, Taxes and Anti-Semitism

Well, it is happening again. My grandfather told me about it. My father told me about it. Every other Jew who came over from Europe told me about it. Even the New York Times told me about it. You got it, anti-Semitism and the persecution of Jews.

My dad took me to see Jackie Mason in New York in the 80s. It was just the two of us. Jackie Mason was hilarious that night, and he is absolutely correct here.

‘The Almighty Helped Me to Survive’: A Marine’s Tale From the Pacific Theater

When Bernard (Baruch) Haller enlisted in the United States Marines in 1941, he had two goals: to serve his country and to survive. To accomplish these goals, he knew that he’d need the help of a Higher Power. And so Haller, known to friends as Bernie, vowed then and there never to eat non-kosher meat and never to miss a day of tefillin.

As a Jew whose father served in WWII, this article really meant a lot to me.

Volunteer Security Group Calls for Jewish Institutions to ‘Heed the Call’ After Vandal Attacks LA Synagogue and Kosher Restaurant

Evan Bernstein (l), now head of the Community Security Service (CSS), on the scene in Jersey City in the wake …

I’ve attended services at this synagogue, and have eaten at Pat’s dozens of times over almost 30 years. Where is the outrage form the liberal Jewish community, from non-Jewish liberals, from anti-racists? Antisemitism has exploded and, as always, the world is silent.

Rise in antisemitism dispels the myth of American Jewish exceptionalism

What has transpired so many times throughout history – pogroms and officially condoned attacks on Jews – never came about overnight.

The author wasn’t the least surprised person in the world that the recent spat of antisemitism happened in America: I was. I’ve been warning about this for decades. Even more interesting was the, literally, total lack of response to the letter her friend sent to fake Jewish “leaders.” I have had that EXACT experience time and time again. The American Jewish community needs new, effective, brave, leadership. We DO NOT need, at all, more “statements,” “condemnations,” and “dialogues.” Most tellingly is that so many Americans stood silently as their fellow Americans were being attacked. This too I’ve experienced first hand.

Throwing Israel Under The Bus Will Not Save American Jews

Israel and her people support every Diaspora Jewish community always, no questions asked.

For anyone who read this: I am not now, have never been, and NEVER WILL BE one of gnoses Jews. When Israel is in peril, as are ALL in peril. End of story. The biggest failing of the American Jewish community was in educating our children. Groups like the ADL, and the Jewish Federation are disaster that never put the actual needs of the Jewish community first. Their first thought is always what’s best for themselves as institutions and then what’s best for the Democratic Party. Thank G-d for Chabad reconnecting millions of us to our Judaism.

“IT TAKES A SPECIAL KIND OF BLINDNESS TO DISMISS THE FACT THAT HAMAS IS A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION CALLING FOR THE GENOCIDE OF ALL JEWS, NOT JUST ISRAELIS. IT TAKES CLOSING ONE’S EYES NOT TO NOTICE THAT HAMAS IS PERFORMING A DOUBLE WAR CRIME BY FIRING OVER 3,500 ROCKETS FROM WITHIN ITS OWN CIVILIAN POPULATION ONTO ISRAEL’S CIVILIAN POPULATION.”
