Jewish students at El Camino Real Charter High School walkout to protest antisemitic incidents at the Woodland Hills school on Tuesday, February 27, 2024.
ver the course of postwar America, there has been a march of progress in which institutional and societal prejudice against minority groups—from women to African Americans, and the LGBTQ+ community—lessens and opportunities open.
Since 1964, ADL has regularly conducted a comprehensive study of antisemitic attitudes. And time after time, we reliably found that antisemitism was stronger among older Americans and weaker among younger. This made intuitive sense as younger people would generally be more accepting, and as they aged, antisemitism would fade., however, we found this trend has reversed.
On the left, especially after the Hamas attacks of October 7, there has been a surge in antisemitism which its proponents claim is just “anti-Zionism.”in the U.S. just in the three months following the October 7 attack. That’s a 361 percent increase over the same period the previous year. These include bomb threats to Jewish schools and synagogues, mobs harassing Jewish students on college campuses, and physical assaults around rallies.
Anti-Zionism subverts modern views of justice and oppression by imbuing them with classic anti-Jewish tropes. It harnesses widespread misinformation about Jewish history and deep-seated prejudices against Jews to build a simplistic framework through which antisemites can mask their hate. Anti-Zionists somehow think that it’s possible to adamantly oppose the existence of the world’s only Jewish state, in which half the world’s Jews live, yet have no problem with Jews.
