Joy Behar made it clear that she was not impressed with those who were content to remain silent in the face of a dramatic rise in anti-Semitism in the United States, saying that it was incumbent on everyone to speak out against it.

Behar addressed the issue on Tuesday’s broadcast of “The View” on ABC, saying that she was witnessing “a lot of silence” despite a massive uptick in anti-Semitic incidents in just the two weeks since Hamas’ brutal attacks against Israeli civilians on October 7.

Behar began with what “they always say” — namely that it was possible to be critical of Israeli governmental policy without being anti-Semitic — but then she argued that in spite of that, every time something happened involving Israel, the anti-Semitism came flooding back into the discourse.
