Anti-Semitism
Criticizing BLM is Unforgivable, Killing Jews is Understandable – The twisted campaign against the Zionist Organization of America.
In 2019, Rina Shnerb, a 17-year-old girl who had been hiking in Israel with her father and brother, was blown up by a bomb. Rabbi Eitan Shnerb, who ran a charity that handed out clothes and food to the poor, had enough time to kiss Rina on the forehead, before she died.
“I will say of the LORD, who is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust,” the Rabbi at her gravesite chanted the words of Psalm 91. “Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, and see the recompense of the wicked.”

The Threats American Jewry Refuses to Face – Appeasing ‘progressive’ Jew-haters.
After being forced by Covid-19 restrictions to celebrate Passover alone last year, like their Israeli brethren, American Jews were by and large able to celebrate the Passover seder with their friends and families this year. And as in Israel, American Jewish families reveled in their deliverance from loneliness on the Jewish festival of deliverance.
But even the joy of Passover couldn’t dispel the twin storm clouds rising around the largest Jewish diaspora.
Anti-Semites Defining Anti-Semitism – And why it’s crucial to push back.
As the 2016 Internal Holocaust Remembrance Association’s (IHRA) working definition of anti-Semitism continues to be adopted by organizations and universities who find it useful as a way of identifying instances of anti-Semitism—and especially the “new anti-Semitism” which couches itself as criticism of Israel—predictably, though unsurprisingly, groups that wish to continue to slander and libel the Jewish state have come out in opposition to it. What bothers these indignant individuals? Possibly the section of the IHRA definition that suggests that “Applying double standards by requiring of [Israel] a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation” is anti-Semitic.
Avi Benlolo: Are educated people more anti-Semitic?
“…If hate is taught, it can be untaught through education, right?
Wrong, according to a new survey spearheaded by Prof. Jay P. Greene, Prof. Albert Cheng and Ian Kingsbury, who discussed their results in a feature article published recently in Tablet magazine. Their survey was designed to determine whether anti-Semitism is associated with lower levels of education. Their shocking results reveal that we have probably put too much of our faith over the last century into education. In fact, it’s possible that the opposite may be true — that the more educated you are, the more anti-Semitic you might be.”

Germany: Covid-19 Triggers New Wave of Anti-Semitism
“Why are the majority of anti-Semitic acts attributed to ‘right-wing’ German perpetrators? One can see a political motive behind this — growing anti-Semitism can be used politically as a weapon ‘against the right.'” — Tichys Einblick.
… A 2017 survey of German Jews by the University of Bielefeld found that 60% of anti-Semitic attacks were said to have been carried out by Muslims, compared to 19% by far-left extremists and 19% by far-right perpetrators. Muslims were also said to be responsible for 81% of anti-Semitic attacks involving physical violence. The survey found that 70% of German Jews believe that mass migration from the Muslim world has fueled anti-Semitism in Germany.
Nevertheless, German police, possibly under orders from political authorities, systematically assign unsolved anti-Semitic hate crimes to the far right. In one well-known case, police blamed far-right extremists for chanting the Nazi slogan “Sieg Heil” at an Islamist al-Quds rally in Berlin.
