Anti-Semitism: One Jew's perspective about recent events (long read)

[nycbos]

5. This was very well written and explores the issue very well.

I am Jewish myself and I am going to guess I am on the younger side of most posters here. I think I should mention that in my experience I have heard way more anti-semitic rhetoric from the left then from the right but have always known that antisemitism is a cause that unifies the far left and the far right.

For those who don't know right wing antisemitism is often called "the old" antisemitism and antisemitism from the left is called "the new" antisemitism.

However Trump has caused a resurgence of the old antisemitism.

I am glad that Trump supporters actions have caused some on the left to wake up to the issue of antisemitism but the problem as the OP notes goes much deeper. We must confront it especially when it appears in our own ranks.
