“We’re just hearing and seeing antisemitic tropes and activity coming from all angles,” said Oren Segal, vice president of the ADL’s Center on Extremism who has tracked the issue for more than 20 years. "People feel, in the Jewish community, that something is different here. And we see it on the ground and online."
Experts emphasize that rising antisemitism is not solely an issue for the Jewish community. It’s rare that one form of hate crime or extremism rises in isolation. Allowing such behavior to percolate creates an environment in which other extremists feel comfortable acting, said former Rep. Ted Deutch, who heads the American Jewish Committee.
“It affects everyone,” he said, pointing to recent mass shootings that were not targeted at Jews but had ties to antisemitism. “The shooter in Buffalo was an antisemite. And the shooter in El Paso was an antisemite.”
