"We hear much these days about the rise of anti-Semitism in the United States, both on campuses and in the public square. We need to remember that the vast majority of these protests and attacks, which range from shouted slurs to out-and-out violence, don’t reflect the attitudes of most citizens, but originate and are carried out by select groups—often with monetary incentives."
"On October 7, 2023, the terrorist organization Hamas initiated a series of brutal attacks on the state of Israel that killed more than 1,400 Israelis and left more than 5,000 people wounded. On October 8, a group of Harvard University organizations issued a joint statement on Instagram blaming Israel for this assault, holding “the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence.” That statement brought immediate condemnation from various individuals and groups as well as repercussions, with some donors cancelling their ties to the university and some employers either withdrawing job offers to students associated with these Harvard organizations or threatening to do so. Some groups later apologized for supporting this statement.
"Business Insider has provided an excellent timeline of these events. Here we find that soon after the storms of protest broke, “the statement was amended to remove the names of its signatories, and has since been deleted.”
"When I first read the online articles reporting this news about Harvard, my imagination conjured up a diverse collection of university clubs, a far-left chess club, for example, or a women’s field hockey team. Later, after I’d tracked down the original unamended document, I was in for a mild shock." . . .

"Fox News reported that Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) belongs to a Facebook group that celebrates Hamas in its longtime fight to annihilate Israel and murder Jews.
"I haven’t seen Tlaib, who has no problem showing off her hatred for Israel and Jews, confirm she belongs to the Palestinian American Congress/USA Facebook group.
"The Tlaib in the group joined in 2018, which coincides with her Congressional campaign." . . .
"Qadar also shared a graphic naming many Jewish Congress members who supposedly “have dual loyalty to Israel and the United States.” The “dual loyalty” is an antisemitic trope. Squad member and antisemite Rep. Ilhan Omar has repeated that trope, among many others.
"Palestinian American Congress is a hidden group, meaning it won’t appear if you search for it.
"Recent posts have glorified Hamas since it invaded Israel, killing over 1200 and kidnapping 240:" . . .

How can Israel survive in a world that is outraged by existence? “Top Story” with Jonathan Tobin and guest Dan Senor, Ep. 118
In this week’s episode of “Top Story,” JNS editor-in-chief Jonathan Tobin discusses how antisemitism fueled by toxic left-wing ideologies is motivating the mobs calling for Israel’s elimination. In so doing, they’re not merely erasing Jewish history and rights, but ignoring the myriad successes that Israel has accomplished in its 75 years of existence.
