WhatsappAntisemitism is again on a dramatic rise across the world – even in the USA. We see statements from Kanye West and Kyrie Irving as well as others bringing open antisemitism into the public square.
21st century antisemitism is deeply bound up with the “palestinian” national movement and its lies of being the indigenous populace in the Land of Israel. Through intersectionality, historical distortion, and the false projection of an oppressor/oppressed paradigm on the Israel-“palestine” dispute, the surge in leftwing antisemitism has overtaken the historically white nationalist type of antisemitism.
According to the ADL there was a 24% increase in antisemitic incidents in NYC compared to 2020, for a total of 416 incidents in 2021. Naturally, not all of these are assaults were related to Israel, but the merger of the new strand of antisemitism that the “palestinian” national movement has unleashed has no doubt inspired much of the uptick.
Perhaps the most alarming development is the partnership between Kanye West and Nick Fuentes. The first is a black antisemite and the second is a white supremacist. This is an unlikely partnership, that is of course unless both find the target of their hate is far more important than their own hate for each other. This is why today’s antisemitism is serious and if not faced has the potential to make Jewish life in America even more temporal than it already is.
