(Jewish Group) The Normalization Of Antisemitism In The U.S.

[Behind the Aegis]

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

It’s a tragic truism that antisemitism, the world’s oldest hatred, confronts virtually every Jewish person in every generation in the Diaspora. And now, in the wake of a spate of violent antisemitic incidents across the United States since 2018, American Jews, particularly in the greater New York City area, are now exposed to this insidious threat as well.

At the end of the day, antisemitism is a global rather than a regional phenomenon. In 2018, antisemitic attacks world-wide rose by 13 percent, with the highest number reported in major Western democracies like France, Britain and Germany, according to a recent Tel Aviv University study.

The American Jewish community, which has enjoyed unparallelled security and acceptance, is not immune to this pathological phenomenon. Toward the close of 2019, Jewish Americans were shocked, in particular, by murderous rampages in Jersey City, New Jersey, and Monsey, New York, both of which were carried out by African Americans, who until now have not been associated with such crimes. Historically, white supremacists and neo-Nazis have been in the forefront of attacking Jews on both a verbal and physical level.

On December 10, David Anderson, 47, and his girlfriend, Francine Graham, 50, stormed a kosher grocery in Jersey City, killing three people: Mindel Ferencz, the ultra-Orthodox Jewish co-owner of the shop; Moshe Deutsch, a rabbinical student, and Douglas Miguel Rodriquez, a store employee. The perpetrators were followers of the Black Hebrew Israelites, which has been described as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, an organization that monitors expressions of racial and religious animus.

The Black Hebrew Israelites has no connection to mainstream Judaism, but holds that blacks, native Americans and Hispanics, rather than Jews, are the Chosen People. According to Jersey City’s mayor, Steven Fulop, Anderson was hostile to Jews, having posted antisemitic diatribes on line, including Facebook.
