“Antisemitism” is a term used by Jews to describe “people disagreeing with Jews” or “people taking issue with Jew behavior.”
Therefore, I suppose it’s possible that 60% of Jews have experienced that.
Regrettably, we are not yet in a situation where Jews are being chased through the streets.
A shocking 61% of American Jews have encountered an explosion of antisemitism after the Oct. 7, 2023, terror attack on Israel, a disturbing new poll shows — and some of their stories are nothing short of chilling.
Nearly 40% of the people surveyed who either have college kids or are students themselves reported instances of feeling unsafe on campus — with many adding they avoid wearing items that would identify them as Jewish out of fear.
More than 20% of respondents said their younger children have borne the brunt of the antisemitism in the past year, too.
The new survey said 43% of the respondents indicated that the increased antisemitism will impact how they will vote in the November elections.
Some of the Jews who usually vote Democrat — 7.3% of respondents — said they will now vote Republican, while 3.9% who previously voted Republican said they will vote for Democrats.
The poll noted that a quarter of the Jewish respondents said they have experienced the hate close to home — in their own neighborhoods. That figure is more than double the 12% from prior surveys.
On college campuses, in addition to the worrisome trend of feeling unsafe, nearly a third of the students surveyed said they felt discriminated against or made uncomfortable by their own professors because they were Jewish.
A quarter felt excluded from campus activities because of their views or faith, the survey showed.
The growing sense of insecurity has led to changes in behavior, the survey showed.
More than a quarter, or 27%, of respondents said they now avoid displaying their Jewish identity in the workplace, up from 18% in a survey before Oct. 7. One in five respondents said they have skipped religious observances or events out of fear.
Yeah, well. People who mass-murder children should live in fear.
But as the Bible says, “the wicked flee when no one pursues them.” That appears to be the case with these Jews, currently. Even though you would expect people to be hunting them on the streets for what they’re doing to the children of Gaza and Lebanon, no one is doing that.
