It’s been a year since the Hamas-led massacre of 1,200 Israelis – the worst pogrom since World War 2.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It’s a year that’s made me even more ashamed of America’s foreign policy than the previous 2.5 years of POTATUS and Harris had managed to do.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But it tracks with the same I feel when I look at what the American left has done<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The number of antisemitic incidents in the U.S. has surged over 200 percent this past year, as Israel\u2019s war against Hamas sparked an outpouring of Jewish hatred on college campuses and elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From October 7, 2023, to September 24, 2024, the U.S. saw more than 10,000 antisemitic incidents, an increase of over 200 percent from the same period a year before, which saw 3,325 incidents, according to preliminary data released by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), a left-wing antisemitism watchdog…<\/p>\n\n\n\n …On college campuses, roughly 1,200 antisemitic incidents took place, a 500 percent increase from the year before, when the ADL had recorded about 200 of them. Earlier this year, anti-Israel demonstrations and tent encampments formed on college campuses nationwide, especially after Columbia University\u2019s anti-Israel encampment received national attention and required the NYPD to break it up.<\/p>\n Antisemitic activity and outright advocacy for the extermination of Israel were common around the encampment sites. A prominent example was the Jew-free zones at the University of California, Los Angeles. A judge ruled<\/a> in August that UCLA must stop aiding and abetting the antisemitic campus activists who attempted to prevent Jews from passing by certain parts of campus unless they disavowed Israel. UCLA initially decided to fight the ruling but quickly pulled<\/a> its appeal.<\/p>\n\n
