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.’”
