I am going to add some of the items from the piece:

Antisemitic Attitudes Across the Ideological Spectrum

These charts are what are really disturbing in my opinion:


?lang=en

I constantly hear "progressives" rant "if only the old people would die off", seeming to indicate that bigotry is an "old person problem", when, of course, it isn't and the very notion, is, in fact, a form of bigotry.


I haven't read this, https://brandeiscenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Brandeis-Survey-Findings.pdf , yet, but I have seen a couple of stories about it in the press, well, the JEWISH press, it isn't likely to get much, if any, coverage in mainstream media outlets.

The far right says Jews aren’t white enough — that they appear to be white, but are, in fact, loyal to the people who are sullying the “real” America. This was certainly the motivation of the white supremacist who walked into Tree of Life and massacred 11 Jews. Meanwhile, the left says the opposite. It says we Jews are too white to be oppressed. It says, indeed, that we are the exemplars of white privilege, capable, as we are, of changing our Lifshitzes into Laurens and passing. And to make matters worse, Jews support Israel, which, they insist, is not Jews’ indigenous homeland but the last bastion of white colonialism in the Middle East.

In this way, Jews are being successfully transformed into neo-Nazis in the public imagination at the very moment that we are being targeted by actual neo-Nazis.

But unlike the alt-right, whose hatred is unabashed and familiar to a people who survived Hitler, those who promote this big lie — the lie of the Jew as the white man and the uber-imperialist — are our leading intellectuals, magazine editors, book authors and influencers.


And there it is! Be ready for the No True Scotsman fallacies and the "well, I don't hate Jews (see above, including the misspelled "jews" ) ". The left loves diversity, except when it comes to certain groups, Jews are one of those groups.
