Anti-Semitic incidents in New England are up more than 100% this year, according to numbers released this week by the Anti-Defamation League.
In 2015, an average of five such incidents occurred each month, while so far this year, there have been over 10 each month. The increase is “fueled by vandalism, harassment, and other acts at schools and colleges,” reports the Boston Globe.
“Clearly, people are acting out on some long-held stereotypes and hatred toward Jews,” said Robert Trestan, director of the New England Regional Office of the ADL, “and it’s designed to send a message of intimidation. We’re increasingly living in an environment where incivility is becoming common and accepted practice.” …

[[- Catholic Memorial High School basketball fans taunted Newton students at a game with chants of “You killed Jesus.”]]
To say this is to call Jesus a liar .
(John 10:17) Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
(John 10:18) No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
Every time someone says that they prove that they not only do not know who Jesus was but also that they do not follow him.
” Donald Trump is being criticized by the Anti-Defamation League for repeating a slogan the group believes to be anti-Semitic.
The ADL has taken issue with Trump’s use of the phrase “America First” to describe his approach to foreign policy.”
“Jewish groups decry Trump pitch to ban Muslim immigration
ADL rejects Republican frontrunner’s latest remarks as ‘deeply offensive’ and ‘antithetical to American values’”
ADL can bite me
The ADL fails to mention that Trump never criticized anyone as what the so-called alt-right calls “Israel Firsters”, so they create false context with respect to the phrase “America First”.
In 12 years of Catholic school I never noticed even a whiff of antisemitism by any teacher or cleric. Of course, being five years after the end of World War II, antisemitism was every much out of vogue in those days.
Complete BS. The only anti-Jewish or anti-Israel idiocy uttered by any candidate during this campaign was uttered by none other than.....
Bolshevik Bernie.
I’m not sure I would blame long held beliefs if there were a lot of so-called “progressives” who’ve been sniffing the anti-Israeli-propaganda glue involved.
They could be relatively recently (last few decades) adopted beliefs after all.
What was the foundation of the Jewish religion? Practical needs; egoism. Consequently the monotheism of the Jew is in reality the polytheism of many needs. Practical needs or egoism are the principle of bourgeois society, and they appear openly as such so soon as bourgeois society gives birth to the political state. The God of practical needs and egoism is money.
Money is the jealous God of Israel, by the side of which no other god may exist. Money degrades all the gods of man and converts them into commodities. Money is the general and self-constituted value of all things. Consequently it has robbed the whole world—the world of mankind as well as Nature—of its peculiar value. Money is the being of man’s work and existence alienated from himself, and this alien being rules him, and he prays to it.
The God of the Jews has secularized himself and become the universal God. Exchange is the Jew’s real God. ...
What has changed in New England over the past year to account for this? Has there been an influx of historically anti-Semitic people there or something?
The only thing worse than being an anti-Semite is being falsely accused of being an anti-Semite. “Liberals” have been on an anti-Israel/anti-Semitic rampage for 20 years. Name three colleges that aren’t agitating for an end to Israel. Can’t, can you? And Hillary! is leading the drive.
Correlation doesn't prove causation, but it might make for an interesting discussion.
I suspect it has much more to do with Democrat campaign themes.
The ADL should learn that in a liberal and Muslim free America, violence against Jews would be non-existent. In an America populated only by liberals and Muslims, Jews would be exterminated in numbers which would make the Holocaust seem tame.
Just as Hussein Obama intended.
Anti-Semitism is the canary in the coal mine,
Sunbelt migration and terrible northeastern government means that most of the successful and virtuous people have fled the northeast, making the region populated mostly by liberals (who are inherently anti-Semitic). In cities controlled by liberals or Muslims, you can kill a Jew in broad daylight and never have to fear legal retribution.
Anti-Semitism is the socialism of fools. But socialism is the socialism of fools.
For whatever reasons, antisemitism makes my skin crawl. It is not a character flaw I have been afflicted with, I have lots of others. I’m just reflexively anti-antisemitic. More than many Jews. I don’t claim any virtue thereby, just part of my character, for better or worse.
Bizarre.
They were idiot teenagers making the ridiculous comment.
My kids all attended Newton North and roughly 2/3 of the student body are NOT Jewish.
The kids from CM acted like morons.
