ORLANDO, Fla.—The greatest tool for fighting antisemitism is the Bible, and Jew-hatred is on the rise in the U.S. because Americans are less and less familiar with the holy text, a Christian leader warns. Antisemitism “is on the rise in general,” Luke Moon, deputy director at The Philos Project and leader of Philos Action League,…

“There is an epidemic of hate facing our country. We’re seeing a rapid rise in antisemitic rhetoric and acts,” said Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff at a roundtable on combatting antisemitism that he convened last month. While he’s right about the epidemic of antisemitism, he and the Biden administration are entirely wrong about the cause. It’s…

The old antisemitism was more a right-wing than a left-wing phenomenon—perhaps best personified by the now-withered Ku Klux Klan. A new antisemitism followed from the campus leftism of the 1960s.

There’s a strong connection between critical social justice ideology, including critical race theory, and a rising tide of antisemitism around the globe, according to a new report from the Jewish Institute for Liberal Values.

As 3,000 rockets rained down on Israel, the world’s oldest hatred—antisemitism—reared its head in places once thought unimaginable. Mobs searched for Jews to attack in New York, Los Angeles, and Salt Lake City. Neighborhoods were terrorized, diners assaulted, and Americans wearing yarmulkes bloodied. These are truly attacks on all of us. America’s foundation and identity as a defender…

Tuvia Tenenbom, a bestselling author, playwright, journalist, and founder of the Jewish Theater of New York, has traveled the world to understand increasing antisemitism. He documents his experiences in his latest book “The Taming of the Jew.” Recent fighting between Israel and Hamas has brought the issue to the forefront with more than two dozen…
