One of the writers and contributors to the Jewish news syndicate jns.org, Adam Milstein writes that anti-Semitism is on the rise and becoming more commonplace in America on the alt-left and of the political spectrum (instead of what used to be on the alt right). There is one front-runner in this new move in America, and it is also being seen across college campuses where it has never been seen or mentioned in such a vast number as before.
In the past, Adam Milstein asserts that Muslims have always put the blame on Jewish people for being powerful Zionist who are the root of the problems in the Middle East. Lately in America, some people who are not even Muslim or do not follow the Muslim faith share some of these same sentiments, such as prominent leaders of political movements in America. For example, the leader of the Women’s March, Linda Sarsour, has taken lots of extremist positions and statements that now extend to the left side of the political spectrum. Adam Milstein does not think that the condemnation of Jews and Israel should be the forefront or even a side note in the opinions of someone leading a Women’s March that is focused on women. In her “Jihad against Trump” speech, she praises the extremist Siraj Wajjah who was one of the co-conspirators in blowing up the 1993 World Trade Center in New York City. On top of that, Linda Sarsour even praises the Saudi Arabian treatment of women, which is less than ideal. That women would even subscribe to these anti-Semitic views is beyond the comprehension of author Milstein, and perhaps why he wrote the article that he did on JNS.
But perhaps what is most shocking to Adam Milstein is that anti-Semitism is on the rise in college campuses in America. At a fine university such as Tufts University, there is permitted a “disorientation guide” which denounces Israel as a white supremacist state, when in fact it is not. At New York University, a very fine institution as well, there has sadly been and acceptance of anti-Semitism where it is mentioned 55 times in comparison to the only a handful of times which jihadism or anti-Trump sentiments are mentioned.
