Meanwhile, David Frum has a rant in the Atlantic, claiming, without evidence, that Nicholas Kristof, the New York Times columnist who set off a firestorm with his report on the sexual abuse of Palestinian prisoners, had no evidence for publishing that. Plus that Canada is a hotbed of antisemitism. And no, I'm not posting it because, while I regret very much the fact that synagogues are getting shot up, I don't want to give his unsurprising rhetoric any more oxygen than the Atlantic is giving it.
And now this:
<...The Anti-Defamation League—the organization whose entire mission is documenting and combating antisemitism—has kept meticulous records of antisemitic incidents in the United States for decades. I have downloaded their full dataset of every single documented act of antisemitism and made it publicly available for anyone to examine. The link is here: ADL Full Dataset — 40,180 Cases
Since 2002, the ADL has documented 40,180 cases of antisemitism in the United States....>
<...This is significant because the ADL and similarly situated orgs have repeatedly claimed that antisemitism is rapidly growing among the Left, among universities, and among Muslims. Now we have the ADLs data to document what that looks like. And the data is stunning. Of those 40,180 documented antisemitic incidents, how many were motivated by “Islamist” ideology or Leftist ideology?
The answer is three.
Not three percent. Three incidents...>
<...All the rest—effectively 100% of 40,180 documented antisemitic incidents—come from right-wing extremists, white supremacists, and Christian nationalists.
This is not my data. This is ADL data. You can visit the ADL HEAT MAP right now and conduct the exact same search. The very organization that exists to fight antisemitism has documented, in its own records and on its own website, that the existential, catastrophic, overwhelming threat to Jewish Americans in this country comes not from Muslim communities, not from the Left, and not from college students—but from the same right-wing extremist movement that is simultaneously undermining our democracy, our institutions, and the rule of law.
Read that again: 3 Versus 40,180
Ask yourself, how many media outlets have reported this disparity in any meaningful sort of way? And if we refuse to identify the source of antisemitism, how can we hope to effectively deploy resources to stop that antisemitism?
But this is only the first of multiple questions on who is igniting antisemitism in America...>
