On August 11-12, 2017, white supremacists and neo-Nazis converged on Charlottesville, VA for a Unite the Right rally, chanting “The Jews will not replace us!” What on earth did this chant mean?
Really, Charlottesville is the lead example? A tiny demonstration from a collection of fringe, powerless people. Please use your voice to pick on racists with power, not the powerless. There are so many candidates these days.
This is a wonderful and informative piece. Just two comments. Let’s please use the correct spelling of “Antisemitism”. Too much to explain about the undertones connected to the new hyphenated spelling. And 2. There is much to say about the Black and Jewish relations in America. Although a newer form of Antisemitism via NOI and BHI, there is much history to unpack and ties to be fixed. With accountability on both ends. With regard to YT supremacy, there’s just no hope for that. That’s a forever hate. Again, great piece. Thank you.
I am a Jew, and we do tend to shoot ourselves in the foot on a rather regular basis. I try so hard to defend our people and support Israel (Holocaust, anyone?), and now our young rabbinical students want us to rethink our support of Israel, while paying no heed to the gross human rights violations occurring in so many other countries. Kinda makes you want to throw up your hands.

Please don’t overlook “The Reverend” Al Sharpton as a shining example of a still widely respected antisemite in the black community.
