The Jews Who Are Complicit in Jew-Hatred

When the New York Times finally reported on the plague of nationwide street vio-lence against Jews in the spring of 2021, more than a week after the attacks began in the wake of Hamas using rockets to strike Israel, the tone it took was less one of outrage than of bewilderment. "Until the latest surge," read a May 26 story, "anti-Semitic violence in recent years was largely considered a right-wing phenomenon, driven by a white supremacist movement emboldened by rhetoric from former President Donald J. Trump, who often trafficked in stereotypes." This was nonsense: The most common street violence against Jews took place in New York and New Jersey, and it had nothing at all to do with Trump or "right-wing" politics.
