Do you feel anti-Semitism is a greater problem on the American right or on the American left?
We’ve seen reports of anti-Semitism on the American left, some of it seemingly related to the BDS (boycott, divest, sanction) movement against Israel. Intersectionality may also be a culprit, referring to the notion that objects of discrimination can fight back together – the concept has been used to join Palestinian aspirations with other groups’ needs.
On the other hand, some on the right have been trafficking in anti-Semetic canards and anger. The murderous attack on the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh is believed to have been tied to right-leaning anti-Semitism. And there was the infamous “Jews will not replace us” chant in Charlottesville in 2017.
What do you think? Is the problem more serious on the left or the right?
