CNN did a story on the rise of antisemitism. The response to that story was… more antisemitism. The irony is not lost on me.

Here’s to hoping this segment opens more eyes to the reality we are facing.
More recent anti-Semitism news
It is infuriating that this is necessary in the 21st century in the *United States of America.* This is not what a liberal democracy looks like. https://t.co/GnGfmj4NeS

For Jews like myself who have lived anti-Semitism and carry the intimate details of our families’ trauma—pogroms, the Holocaust, the Pale of Settlement, the Doctors’ Plot—the fear that this peace is just a temporary blip is always right under the skin. https://t.co/tHUqWfjTwr

I’m deeply troubled by rising antisemitism. One major source was four years of previous POTUS— ‘good people on both sides,’ vile campaign ads, invoking ‘dual loyalty.’ We must reject this bigotry and work to prevent further damage to the Jewish community.

Trump suggested that Jews have a loyalty to their religion above other interests, repeating an accusation long used to stoke anti-Semitism. Jews "are only in it for themselves" and "stick together," Trump said in front of officials in his administration. https://t.co/JL3VNnteOV
