America must confront the evil of soaring antisemitism — before it’s too late

America’s growing antisemitism problem is proving an existential test for Democrats across the country, but it’s incumbent on all of good will to fight it — and not with lame “Holocaust education” initiatives.

In an April poll by McLaughlin Associates, 15% of Long Islanders said the Holocaust is exaggerated to some extent (or refused to answer the question); 30% said Jews should just “move on” from the history-breaking barbarity of the camps. 

Disheartening sad results from a largely suburban region with a significant Jewish population — and this is far from the only data.

In a national poll done for Blue Square Alliance in December, 27% of respondents said Jews “cause problems in the world”; 18% saw Jews as a threat to America’s unity. 

And both numbers nearly doubled on the same questions in 2023.

An Anti-Defamation League report last May found that antisemitic incidents in the United States rose for the fourth consecutive year in 2024, to 9,354 —the highest ever in the 45 years of ADL record-keeping.
