1. Be Honest
GHook93 ,   Chicago   (06.21.19)
The rise of antisemitism is because of 2 things: 1. The rise of leftism and the media's protection and support of them. The left and the media have mainstreamed antisemitism. They would condemn a conservative racist, but a leftist antisemite (especially a minority gets a pass). Before Omar and AOC, there was Ellison, Jackson, Sharpton and Farahkan. They get a pass, a conservative would be destroyed (think Roseanne - not a conservative, but a Trump supporter). 2. The rise of Islam in the west. The more the Muslim population grows the more antisemitism gets accepted and promoted.
2. Where are they ?
DSM ,   USA   (06.21.19)
What makes it worse in America is Jewish members of the House and Senate refuse to consistently speak out against the likes of AOC, Talib, Omar and those in academia.
3. Not one word
Steven ,   Rockville MD USA   (06.21.19)
was said about the anti-Semitism openly stated by the members of the Democratic Party in the congress. Just a few days ago Anastasia Occasio Cortez the member of the Democrats stated that that the (illegal) immigrants are placed in concentration camp-like arrests by the government. Allan Dersovits former Harvard professor termed her a Holocaust denier. Her congressional ilk made multiple anti-Semitic statements in the Congress without suffering any consequences by the Democratic leadership. This is the main cause of the spread of the anti-Jewish feeling in the U.S. The article briefly but wrongly tried to accuse the Tumpism as one of the reason of the anti-Semitism, which is a BS, since no U.S. president was more friend of the Jews then President Trump.
4. Unfortunately, in 5-8 years time we'll look back and wonder:

"how didn't we see how bad& fast things were developing and we stayed behind?"
For many it'll bee too late.
"Stuff" tends to happen very fast, especially these days & age!
5. This isn’t Germany of the 1930’s
Arnie ,   Montreal   (06.22.19)
where it was the government that was ratcheting up anti-Jewish sentiment. In the West our governments are still under the rule of law. And if someone comes after me I’ll take a baseball bat to his head before being out onto a train to some concentration camp.
6. Not everything that looks bad is bad.
tiki ,   belgium   (06.22.19)
Jew hate in America is the best thing that could have happened....for Jews.

Hopefully it will open their eyes & minds and prevent them from voting & financing those that hate them......hateful Democrats & US Universities where Jews have become the prime target.

Hopefully Jew hate in America will bring Jews back to reality, Judaism back and make them understand their priorities........Israel.

Make no mistake about it.....in America they will always be 'the Jew, never the American!

Without a strong Israel their beloved America will spit them out and make their life a living hell!

*Same goes for Europe!

7. Anti-semitism in America
lal ram ,   Wolverhampton, UK   (06.22.19)
It is a sad state of affairs, that Jews of US are victims of anti-semitism. this will sadly get from bad to worse. The reason being there are millions of muslims in America, they are diametrically opposed to Jews, their religion, values, and success, its about time they have woken up from their slumber, dear brethren, the only country that will accept you is Israel. As time goes by you will experience more and more hostility and hatred from these American Muslims and minority groups. I don't think the jews have learn't any lessons from jewish history, the holocaust. Start making Aliyah to Israel. This is the promised land which the Almighty God gave to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as eternal inheritance. All nations will spew you out whether you like it or not.
8. Worry about your high profile self hating US Jews
OwnWorseEnemies ,   Jerusalem   (06.22.19)
Problsby more than half of US Jews have almost no communal Jewish Connection 60% intermarriage rate and have antagonized half of America that support the most pro Israel president in US history aligning themselves with the most anti Semitic elements Afro Hispanic abd Leftist dominated Academia
While stigmatizing White Anglo Saxon Christian Americans as bring the main anti Semites add to this the most outspoken haters of Israel come from within their own ranks
9. Sadly
joey Ledas ,   near LA, USA   (06.22.19)
I hope I have the wisdom and courage to act correctly if I am called upon. Religion has many good and wonderful aspects. Sadly, IMHO, I believe......given a choice G-D would choose not to be represented by religion.
10. AMERICAN JEWS DESERVE EVERYTHING THAT IS COMING TO THEM.
M BARR   (06.22.19)
MAJORITY OF THEM ARE ANTI ISRAEL ANTI TRUMP SICK HOLLYWOOD LEFTIES. THEY CREATE ANTI SEMITISM THEMSELVES. WHEN THIS CRIMINAL ARAB GIRL TAMIMI WHO HIT AN ISRAELI SOLDIER AND CONVICTED TO PRISON ABOUT 750 AMERICAN JEWS SEND HER CAKE AND GIFTS AND MONEY. THEY ARE ALL SICK IN THE HEAD. THANK YOU
11. AMERICAN JEWS CREATE ANTI-SEMITISM THEMSELVES LIVE QUIET.

12. AMERICAN JEWS LOOK FOR ATTENTION & SYMPATHY. ALL FAKE!!!
EX-ISRAELI   (06.22.19)
I always keep away from them they are nasty and lie in front of your eyes.
13. Cry me a river for the Jews in America...
Al   (06.23.19)
Were it not for their money no one would give a rats ass including the Israeli Jews who have to fight every single friggin to stay alive.

The Jews in America have chosen their fate...end of story.

I for one couldn't care less as to their fate.

For all I care they can stay in America marry goyim or join Chabad and wait for the Rebbe to come back as the Messiach.


Either way their future is shaky.
14. I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THEM.THEY ARE THE REASON I MOVED
ex-israeli   (06.24.19)
FROM ISRAEL.I COULD'NT AFFORD TO BUY A 2 ROOM APT FOR MYSELF. I GAVE MY TIME, SWEAT, BODY AND RISKED MY LIFE TOO MANY TIMES. I WAS A STRANGER IN MY OWN COUNTRY. I AM TODAY IN AMERICA BECAUSE OF THEM. THEY HAVE NO HEART. IN CASE OF WAR I WILL RETURN TO ISRAEL TO FIGHT ANOTHER DAY. THEY WILL RUN FROM ISRAEL LIKE RATS.

EX-ISRAELI   (06.30.19)
THEY LIKE YOUR MONEY BUT DON'T PAY BACK,WHEN YOU GO TO AMERICAN JEW DENTIST FIRST THING HE ASKS DO YOU RENT OR OWN. BAD WORK & SUPER EXPENSIVE. ALSO BE AWARE OF R.E. AGENTS THEY WORK BOTH SIDES OF THE FIELD. NEVER DATE AMEICAN JEW WOMEN THEY ARE AFTER YOUR MONEY AND ARE NOT CAPABLE OF LOVING.
16. #14,15 So funny: love turned sour causes so much hate& self-
(07.01.19)
smug contentment...
Quite interesting read this/these? guys make.
Assuming they're for real (not some Muslim Trolls), it just shows you, that lack of self-worth/identity can easily push any individual into antisemitism with open arms!
Quite revealing stuff.
17. US is much alike Germany in say...1934. It's coming!!!!!!!!!
