JERUSALEM (AP) Antisemitism rose in the U.S. in 2022 and shows little sign of abating worldwide as political radicals have gained mainstream popularity, researchers said in a report released Monday.
Last years report found that 2021 set a new high for antisemitic incidents, with the coronavirus pandemic fueling a worldwide rise in antisemitism. This year the researchers said that 2022 did not mark a universal reversal of the trend, and in some countries, most alarmingly the United States, it intensified.
The rise in Jew-hatred in the U.S. is not limited to white supremacists. It said that the antisemitism of the far-right and far-left are pushing into the mainstream of American culture and politics from both sides.
I believe my own eyes and ears. This anti semitism has been bubbling beneath the surface of America for a long time. We aren't Exceptional. We are the rule.

Theoretically, yes. But the U.S. has power and Israel is militarily dependent.

"Israel is a strong country militarily, has its own military industry, has a very well-trained military"

You were the one who said a smaller war would be better. Less people killed, and all.

And if every ounce of aid is withdrawn and the war continues, who will you blame then?

If anybody out there has a magic wand, I suggest they send it to the White House forthwith.

I don't agree. The protests help both Hamas and Netanyahu. They do no good. This

I am not supporting genocide, and I am not at all certain you understand the meaning of the word.

Some behavior towards Jewish students by those protesting GAZA is clearly antisemitic.

Interestingly, this theory illustrates the nature of antisemitism in its current iteration.

Agreed, and it's further proof that the students themselves aren't initiating the trouble

Thanks for posting. The ICC should be free to prosecute war crimes against any perpetrators.
