Hamas Terrorist Attack Drove the Left's Growing Antisemitism Into the Open
[AmericanGreatness] The recent huge anti-Israel and anti-Semitic demonstrations in several U.S. cities and on college campuses, as well as harassment and threats against Jewish Americans, surprised many Americans and the mainstream media.

But the truth is, if you were unaware of the rise in anti-Semitism and hostility toward the State of Israel from some segments of American society in recent years — especially on the Left — you either have not been paying attention or have been looking the other way.

FBI Director Christopher Wray recently testified to Congress that Jews make up 2.4% of the U.S. population but have been the targets of 60% of religiously based hate crimes. But this figure was from before the outbreak of anti-Semitism in the U.S. after the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack on Israel during which more than 1,400 Israelis were killed, many of them women and children who had been tortured and raped. Hamas also took more than 200 hostages from Israel back to Gaza. In the aftermath of this horrific attack, Jews in this country are facing threats to their personal security that can only be described as an emergency.

...Sadly, these hate crimes get very little press coverage, especially in the national media. This probably is because, in the American Left’s worldview of "intersectionality," diversity, equity, and inclusion, they refuse to include Jewish Americans as a protected group because of open anti-Semitism, hatred of Israel, and their alliance with radical Islamists, including radical Palestinian activists.
To the Left: Gazan "civilians" are NOT responsible for Hamas and should not be harmed - despite being used as human shields, but American Jews should be punished for "the crimes" of Israel.
The recent pro-Hamas and anti-Israel protests in American cities and on college campuses are the result of this leftist-Islamist alliance and their years of work to promote a false narrative of Palestinians as the victims of Israeli oppression. Many of the college students who recently signed letters blaming Israel for the atrocities committed by Hamas are mindless ignoramuses who don’t know where Gaza is and can’t spell the word "Israel."
They can spell "ass" without grammarly?
...The recent surge in anti-Semitic incidents in our country did not happen in a vacuum or without warning. This problem has been festering for years in plain view. The media has known about this problem and ignored it. Politicians knew about it too and looked the other way. Democratic Party leaders tolerated supporters who spouted hatred of Jewish people and Israel because they wanted the votes of far-left progressives and assumed that Jewish Americans were a loyal voting block that would never leave them.
