WhatsappThere’s a lot going on in America right now. And honestly, sometimes it just feels like things are upside down.
The courts don’t always feel like they’re just applying law anymore. Schools and universities are rewriting or skipping over parts of history depending on the agenda. In a lot of cities, police are treated more like the problem than the people trying to keep order.
And all of that together… it’s a lot.
But underneath it is something I don’t think people are fully seeing for what it is. Jew-hating antisemitism.
And not the old kind people usually think about.
This is different.
Old Jew-hating antisemitism was mostly ignorance. People didn’t know Jews, didn’t understand anything about them, and over time that could actually be changed through exposure and real human contact.
What’s happening now isn’t that.
This is political. It gets used. It gets pulled into bigger arguments about culture, power, identity… all of it.
And that’s what makes it more dangerous.
Because once it becomes part of a political worldview, it stops being something you can just reason your way out of.
And it never really stays where it starts.
That’s the part people miss.
Jewish Americans aren’t outside American history. They’ve been here from the beginning.
Haym Salomon helped fund the Revolution when it was barely holding together. That’s not trivia. That’s part of how this country even survived.
And it didn’t stop there. Jews fought in America’s wars, built businesses, worked in medicine, law, science, civil rights. Just part of the country’s story, like everyone else.
So when Jew-hating antisemitism shows up again, it’s not isolated.
It doesn’t stay in one lane.
We’ve seen this before. When societies start looking for someone to blame, Jews often end up in that role. And once that starts, it doesn’t stay contained for long.
It spreads.
That’s why I don’t see this as only a Jewish issue.
It’s something deeper going on in the country.
America only works when people are treated as individuals, not categories, not scapegoats.
When that breaks down, everything else starts to follow.
And that’s really what this is about.
Jew-hating antisemitism is not just anti-Jewish.
It is anti-American.
