After a historic level of antisemitic acts in America last year, local Jewish communities are on edge after the attacks in Israel.
Updated: 13 minutes agoAntisemitic incidents in the United States reached historic levels in 2022 — the highest since the Anti-Defamation League began collecting data in 1979, according to an audit by the group. “Did you find your friends?”But the concerns, in this confusing and divisive year of 2023 in America, aren’t only for Israel after the lethal weekend attacks there by Hamas, a terrorist group intent on wiping Israel off the map.
Pamela Nadell is remembering the words painted on a fence near her home in a liberal, diverse suburb of D.C.: “No Mercy For Jews.” I remember talking about this feeling — that antisemitism wasn’t open, immediate and threatening in America — with a 71-year-old woman at that Jewish Community Center in Fairfax that was defaced five years ago.
She’ll never forget when she came face to face with vandalism she didn’t expect in America, let alone this region, in 2018. Then in February, the school system had nine similar incidents in just one week. School officials said there was a 383 percent increase in hate incidents between 2021 and 2022.
