“Only 80 years removed from a world that declared ‘never again,’ the ancient antisemitic hatred seems to be resurgent as evidenced by a nearly fourfold increase in incidents and attacks in the past two years, and by escalating rhetoric from voices on the left and the right targeting our Jewish neighbors.” - Providence

I think we need to be careful in defining antisemitism. Antisemitism is the hostility, prejudice or discrimination of Jewish people based on their race or ethnicity. We have to distinguish that from the outrage and hostility to the nation of Israel, which contains citizens of all types of races and ethnicity. There is definitely antisemitism that is taking place, but there is also a lot of outrage to what Israel is doing that too quickly gets classified as antisemitism.
