'When was it too late?' Some U.S. Jews wonder about their place in America.

Anxiety over antisemitism in the U.S. is partly behind a recent surge in the number of applications for citizenship in other countries.

Quite a few of us won’t put up with it. The hatred of Jews has to stop. I’m hoping it stops in my lifetime. I’m a dreamer! I have wonderful dreams!

The last administration, well, let's just say as a gay Jew, I was hunting for other countries. I don't have as positive a feeling as others do about opposition to anti-Semitism. I see many cases, too many, of anti-Semitism being dismissed in a variety of ways, including gaslighting, as well as an on-going attempt at the intellectualization of anti-Semitism. The latter is becoming more prevalent in more mainstream stays, and that scares me, especially given the number of Jews who participate in this bullshit.

If I were to be brutally honest, if most Jews just up and left, I don't think many would give a shit. The far-right would expect us to go to Israel, or any non-White country. The far-left wouldn't care where we went as long as it wasn't Israel.

So, we aren't there just yet...
