In its latest audit, the Anti-Defamation League reported 1,879 acts against Jews in the U.S. in 2018, the third highest number in 40 years. The organization also cited New York Police Department figures that said there had been more anti-Jewish incidents in the city in 2019 than all other crimes added together.
“Whenever things get tough, whenever there’s polarization, whenever there’s political or religious extremism, you need a scapegoat, and the Jews are the prototypical scapegoat because they have been the outsiders now for thousands of years,’’ said Stephen D. Smith, executive director of the Shoah Foundation.
Katz emphasized he doesn’t believe Trump is anti-Semitic, noting he has a Jewish son-in-law and adviser in Jared Kushner, and that Trump’s own daughter Ivanka converted to Judaism to marry Kushner. Trump also has chosen high-level Jewish officials such as Secretary of the Treasury Steve Mnuchin and former economic adviser Gary Cohen.
66% of millennials could not identify the notorious Auschwitz – where 1.1 million people died, the vast majority of them Jewish – and 22% could not confirm having heard of the Holocaust.“Anti-Semitism has been called the world’s longest hatred and it has a peculiar shape. We see it in America today,’’ Katz said. “Why does someone go into a synagogue in Pittsburgh and shoot people? This is a very, very deep-rooted issue in Western society.
