Anti-Semitic Incidents Triple as Biden Decries ‘White Supremacy,’ ‘Islamophobia’
Even as the Biden administration screeches about alleged MAGA “white supremacy” and “Islamophobia,” anti-Semitism is sharply on the rise in America.
While the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which provided the data, is a radical leftist organization, it is at least one of the few producing statistics on anti-Semitism in America. Furthermore, I don’t need ADL to tell me anti-Semitism is a serious problem in the U.S. right now; I hear it and read it on a daily basis, from leftists and even conservatives, from college students calling for “intifada” (genocidal war against Jews) to politicians falsely claiming Israel is guilty of apartheid and genocidal occupation. Tragically, many Westerners appear to have learned nothing from the recent history of the Holocaust.
From Jewish Insider, Jan. 10:
‘Antisemitic incidents in the United States tripled in the three months since Oct. 7, compared to the same period a year ago, according to newly collected data from the Anti-Defamation League released exclusively to Jewish Insider.
The ADL’s preliminary data found that there were 3,283 antisemitic incidents between Oct. 7, 2023, and Jan. 7, 2024 — nearly as many recorded incidents as there were in the entire calendar year of 2022.
The 3,283 recorded examples of antisemitic activity include: 60 incidents of physical assault, 553 incidents of vandalism, 1,353 incidents of verbal or written harassment and 1,317 rallies that included antisemitic rhetoric, expressions of support for terrorism against Israel and/or anti-Zionism.’
