Anti-Semitism on the right and the left threatens to bring to a close an unprecedented period of safety and prosperity for Jewish Americans—and demolish the liberal order they helped establish.
Stacey Zolt Hara was in her office in downtown San Francisco when a text from her 16-year-old daughter arrived: “I’m scared,” she wrote. Her classmates at Berkeley High School were preparing to leave their desks and file into the halls, part of a planned “walkout” to protest Israel. Like many Jewish students, she didn’t want to participate. It was October 18, 11 days after the Hamas invasion of southern Israel.
Zolt Hara told her daughter to wait in her classroom. She was trying to project calm. A public-relations executive, Zolt Hara had moved her family from Chicago to Berkeley six years earlier, hoping to find a community that shared her progressive values. Her family had developed a deep sense of belonging there.

“The Golden Age of American Jews Is Ending”
Self-inflicted. We did try to warn them, and they wrote us off as ‘extremists’.
Sucks. But the liberal Jews will continue to vote for the Democrats (the party of antisemites).
The blacks and the Jews are finding out that their support of the left isn’t what is was cracked up to be. And how this “author” Franklin can say antisemitism is from both the right and the left is false. Why do the folks on the left have to lie so much?
America has been been transformed since 9/11. Today one out of eight residents in NYC is a Muslim. Nationwide there is much sympathy and identification with Palestine and Hamas. It has translated into a considerable political force that deeply influences the Democratic Party.People like AOC, the squad, anti Israel demonstrators etc do not exist in a political, cultural or social vacuum. Historically the Democrats in their platform always had a plank endorsing American support for Israel. Very much doubt that such a plank will be in the Democrat’s platform that comes out of the 2024 national convention in Chicago. Times and demographics have changed.
Has there been like a SINGLE anti-Israel or anti-Jewish rally organized by the right? I’m sure the media would have told us...
I had known idea 1 of 8 NYC residents is Muslim. Do you have a source?
I wonder if we will turn into Great Britain, Muslim mayors of many big cities.
Too many Jews support leftism and now it’s attacking them, they should have been smart enough to know this was going to happen.
These people are so eager to “fact check” those on the Right, but they are the ones who can’t stand being scrutinized.
Supposedly at Charlottesville, demonstrators chanted “Jews will not replace us.” The recording I heard did sound like “Jews”, not “you.”
It was a mixed set of groups there.
“Supposedly at Charlottesville, demonstrators chanted “Jews will not replace us.””
LOL - I meant non-governmental protest.
GREAT POINT!
You are correct.
The Atlantic wants us to believe antisemitism is on the left and right.
They’re wrong.
Almost all antisemitism is on the left. The ‘journalists’ of the Atlantic are is the same bunch that called Trump ‘Hitler’ and accused all of us of being Nazi’s. They lied then, they’re lying now. The vast majority of haters have always been on the left. Check out ‘fake hate crimes’ to see the pattern of how liberals fake hate crimes to make it look like we’re the haters. Sicko jerkoffs...
I’ll get the fake hate crimes link and post it...
Foer has only gone downhill from there.
They *should* be smart enough to know this now. They still don't appear to figured it out.
When the leftist/ progressive/communists started dividing Americans by race, ethnicity, etcetera
And enacting racist employment laws
And admitting people to college on racist criteria
Thud country was doomed. For us all, not Jews alone. But yes, for Jews and identifiable Christians too.
Doomed
