Anti-semitism has emerged from the shadows and it's not going back

The Anti-Defamation League calculated that more than 2.6 million anti-Semitic tweets had been sent between August 2015 and July 2016, with over 800 journalists becoming the target of attacks.

The anti-Semites have found each other, and they encourage each other, and they are no longer on the fringes.

White women may have voted for Trump, but Jewish women did not. We have seen this before, and we know what this means, and we are scared. Certainly, Jews have long been a reliably Democratic voting bloc, but still, according to a New York Times exit poll, 71% of Jewish voters chose Hillary Clinton and 24% voted for Trump. In other words, more Jews voted for Mitt Romney in 2012 than voted for Donald Trump in 2016 — despite Trump’s Jewish son-in-law and now-Jewish daughter. I often saw Jared and Ivanka invoked on Twitter by defenders of Trump, who would make the argument that Trump himself couldn’t be anti-Semitic because his son-in-law and daughter were Jewish. But that argument is a red herring; Trump’s rhetoric of appealing to the bitter and the disenfranchised allowed the circumstances for anti-Semitism to flourish. And as for Jared and Ivanka? Jared wrote an op-ed in the New York Observer, which he owns, defending Trump; he has been denounced by his extended family for invoking his grandparents’ experience in the Holocaust to support his father-in-law.
