An old beast re-awoken, anti-Semitism stalks Europe, US once more
Britain, France, the US, and Hungary have seen upticks in anti-Jewish invective and assaults in recent years. The resurgence of overt anti-Semitism stems from both an awakening of repressed prejudice and a byproduct of anti-Zionism.
An online incubator
In the United States, hundreds of tiki torch-wielding men chanted “Jews will not replace us” and openly displayed Nazi symbols at a “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Va., last August – even as the number of anti-Semitic incidents in the United States surged nearly 60 percent in 2017.
That was the largest single-year increase on record, according to a February report by The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which noted that all 50 states saw an increase in anti-Semitic incidents for the first time in at least a decade.
“Charlottesville was definitely a tipping point, and definitely a wake-up call,” says Cooper.
But having launched a digital “report card” that surveys the amount of hate speech and terror-related content online more than two decades ago, Cooper continues to see the web as the most fertile space for spreading anti-Semitic ideas.
“The internet is a great incubator,” he says. “You can keep ‘The Protocols of Zion’ on life support, and there are new strategies and new languages, new ways to formulate old hatreds. And for the person who once upon a time would never think of saying anything this like this, the internet gives them a chance to express those views without any accountability whatsoever.”
“Remember the bad old days when you just spray painted a church or a synagogue or a mosque, and there was at least a chance that you’d get caught?” Cooper continues. “Today? Do whatever you want, and maybe, if places the Wiesenthal Center and others are doing their jobs, we can get a couple hundred thousand accounts suspended. Well, in a world in which Facebook has 1.5 billion, that’s just a drop in the bucket.”
‘We share a common fate’
Still, over the past year, even in the midst of one of the most significant surges in both anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim violence in the United States, Dr. Afridi has marveled at the corresponding surges in her own work to counteract it.
As a Muslim, she notes her unusual position as head of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Interfaith Education Center at a Catholic college like Manhattan. And as a scholar who analyzes the tangled intersections of religion and personal identity, she’s made it her ambitious goal to try “to eradicate anti-Semitism in the Muslim community,” she says.
In many ways, Afridi, author of “Shoah through Muslim Eyes,” has focused so much of her life to a typically Jewish cause because of her commitment to one of the most difficult of civic virtues in a liberal democracy: the value of sharing a common life together as equals, even amid the unavoidable human tensions that arise from difference.
Yet despite the growing sense of alarm that has followed the increasing number of anti-Semitic incidents in the US and Europe, there has been a new sense of purpose around the globe, she says.
“I believe what’s remarkable, as Jews are under attack, as Muslims are under attack, instead of segregating our two communities, it has galvanized us to recognize how we must be fighting for the other – and that is a very, very unique phenomenon,” says Rabbi Marc Schneier, who launched the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding in 1989 to help foster better relations between Muslims and Jews around the globe.

Anti Semitism was present in Europe immediately after WW11, nothing to do with the “ Palestinians” or Israel

Report on Antisemitic Activity During the First Half of 2016 At U.S. Colleges and Universities With the Largest Jewish Undergraduate Populations
I. Introduction
This study investigated antisemitic activity from January to June of 2016 on more than100 college and university campuses with the largest Jewish student populations. It picks up from where AMCHA Initiative’s previous study, “Report on Antisemitic Activity in 2015 at U.S. Colleges and Universities With the Largest Jewish Undergraduate Populations,”1 left off. AMCHA’s 2015 study provided for the first time a quantitative account of the prevalence of antisemitic activity at schools most popular with Jewish students, as well as ample empirical evidence showing that the presence of anti-Zionist student groups, faculty boycotters and anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) activity are each strong predictors of anti-Jewish hostility. Focusing on the same schools and utilizing an identical research methodology as the 2015 study, the current study allows for a direct comparison of antisemitic activity during the first half of 2015 and 2016. While the 2016 study replicated the 2015 findings that the rise of anti-Zionism – particularly BDS campaigns and anti-Zionist student groups and faculty – is fueling the rise of anti-Semitism on campus, the comparison across years also revealed several illuminating and disturbing trends. Summary of 2016 Trends:
1. There were nearly 100 more antisemitic incidents in the first six months of 2016 compared with the same time period in 2015.
2. The number of incidents involving the suppression of Jewish students’ freedom of speech and assembly approximately doubled from 2015 to 2016.
3. The consideration of anti-Israel divestment resolutions in student government or by the student body was strongly linked to a surge in antisemitic activity.
4. The number of incidents opposing Israel’s right to exist nearly tripled from 2015 to 2016 and was highly correlated with behavior that targeted Jewish students for harm.

Identifying Antisemitic Activity
1) Antisemitic Expression – Incidents were identified as having antisemitic expression if they contained language or imagery that used one or more of eight tropes included in the U.S. State Department definition of antisemitism.2 This definition, used extensively by the U.S. State Department to monitor antisemitic activity in countries around the world, identifies both classical and contemporary manifestations of antisemitism, and includes anti-Zionist expression .
2) Targeting of Jewish Students – Incidents involving conduct that targeted Jewish students for particular harm based on their Jewishness or perceived association with Israel were identified. Harms consisted of direct threats to the safety and well-being of Jewish students or violations of their civil rights, and included behaviors such as physical assault, harassment, destruction of property, discrimination and suppression of speech.
3) BDS Activity – Promotion or endorsement of an anti-Israel boycott, divestment or sanction effort. Campus BDS campaigns routinely employ rhetoric and imagery intended to demonize and delegitimize Israel, expression which is consistent with the U.S. State Department definition of anti-Semitism.
III. Findings
1) From January to June 2016, one or more kinds of antisemitic activity were found at more than half the schools most popular with Jewish students. 287 incidents involving either Targeting of Jewish Students for Harm, Antisemitic Expression, BDS Activity, or some combination of these, occurred in 2016 at the schools most popular with Jewish students. 64 (57%) of these schools had incidents involving one or more kinds of these activities.
2) Consistent with the findings from the 2015 study, anti-Zionist activity, particularly BDS, and the presence of student groups and faculty that engage in anti-Zionist activity, are strong predictors of antisemitic activity in general, and conduct that targets Jewish students for harm in particular.
a. BDS Activity - The occurrence of BDS activity was strongly associated with the occurrence of antisemitic activity in general, and with incidents that targeted Jewish students for harm in particular.
- Overall antisemitic activity was significantly more likely to occur on campuses where BDS was present than where it was not (χ 2 = 21.29; p < .001) 5 , with there being more than twice the likelihood of encountering antisemitic activity at schools with BDS activity. Furthermore, schools with more incidents of BDS activity tended to have more incidents of antisemitic activity (Pearson r = .54; p < .001).
- Targeting was significantly more likely to occur on campuses where BDS activity was present than where it was not (χ 2 = 9.92; p < .01) 6 , with there being more than twice the likelihood of encountering targeting at schools with BDS activity. Furthermore, schools with more incidents of BDS activity tended to have more incidents that targeted Jewish students for harm (Pearson r = .27; p < .01).
- Overall antisemitic activity was significantly more likely to occur on campuses where an active anti-Zionist student group was present than where it was not (χ 2 = 52.54; p < .001), with there being more than eight times the likelihood of encountering antsemitic activity at schools with at least one anti-Zionist group.
- Targeting was significantly more likely to occur on campuses where an anti-Zionist student group was present than where it was not , with there being more than nine times the likelihood of encountering targeting at schools with one or more active anti-Zionist groups.
- Overall antisemitic activity was significantly more likely to occur on campuses where there was one or more faculty boycotters than where there was none , with there being almost six times the likelihood of encountering antisemitic activity at schools with faculty boycotters. Furthermore, schools with more faculty boycotters tended to have more incidents of antisemitic activity (Pearson r = .63; p < .001).
- Targeting was significantly more likely to occur on campuses where there was one or more faculty boycotters than where there was none , with there being more than seven times the likelihood of encountering targeting at schools with at least one faculty boycotter. Furthermore, schools with more faculty boycotters tended to have more incidents that targeted Jewish students for harm (Pearson r = .36; p < .001).

The usual tune of a racist #BDS-hole:
1. Deny laws criminalizing racist hate speech
2. Blame Jewish organizations for his Jew-hatred.
3. Protect antisemitic and anti-American organizations, that promote Nazi imagery, from any accountability.
Atta boy! Well done proving the OP.
Your usual tactic. You can’t refute the data so you dump the “propaganda” slogan in your silly one-liner.

Vassar Nazi cartoon reflects campus dehumanization of Israel
Pro-Israel student leader at Vassar was warned: “Remember the devil has enough advocates”
Is it any surprise, then, that multiple Vassar SJP social media platforms started citing and quoting from anti-Zionist white supremacists as a source for demonization of Israel?
Is it any surprise that the usage of white supremacist sources was defended on multiple Vassar SJP social media platforms?
Is it any surprise that SJP then posted the hideous Nazi-era propaganda poster?
Is it any surprise that even after the President of Vassar condemned the Nazi poster that a pro-Israel Wall of Truth was defaced at Vassar?
That poster depicts Jews the way anti-Israeli speakers and advocates on campus depict Jewish Israelis, as a militaristic people apart from humanity.
Look at the poster. It is not an aberration, but an essential formula of the BDS movement on campus:

Did Mexico have a choice? They were conquered. Israel gave displaced Arabs the option to join Israel. Many did and others did not. Too late now. Similarly Mexicans cannot just state they were historical Texans and should be US citizens. Please learn history. You are embarrassing yourself. Palestinians are Jordanians and Egyptians. We both know this. They need to go to Egypt and Jordan and exit Israel. Period. They cannot govern themselves. Period. Your posts are juvenile and inaccurate.

You're talking to a poster who has been spreading nothing but Jihadi love songs for the last 9 years on a daily basis. Not a single positive post about Jews or Israel, virtually no posts on another subject. Don't expect any interest in facts or slightest sign of integrity - he'll blame Jews and Israel for his racism and for a cat peeing in his shoe. Antisemitism is a violent mental disturbance, should be dealt appropriately.
Make Your conclusions...
