NY Times Seems Surprised That Jews In America Have Anxiety

Did anyone at the Times consider that American Jews are living in fear thanks to the Times and other media outlets taking the side of the pro-Hamas people? That when they all take the word of Hamas it turns Democrats against Jews? When they go soft on the pro-Hamas folks they enable them against Jews?

After Several Attacks, Heightened Anxiety Among American Jews

The attack on demonstrators in Boulder, Colo., marching in support of hostages being held in Gaza would have been disturbing to Jewish people across the country even if it were the only recent event of its kind. The suspect told investigators after his arrest that he had been planning the attack for a year, according to court documents. Eight people were hospitalized.

For many, the connections to other recent outbursts of violence were impossible to miss. The attack in Boulder came less than two weeks after two Israeli Embassy employees were shot and killed as they left a reception at a Jewish museum in Washington. A month earlier, an arsonist set fire to the Pennsylvania governor’s mansion on the first night of Passover while Gov. Josh Shapiro, who is Jewish, slept upstairs with his family.

“What we’ve seen these last few months is a shocking pattern of anti-Israel sentiment manifesting itself in antisemitic violence,” said Halie Soifer, chief executive of the Jewish Democratic Council of America. “With each incident, there’s a further shattering of our sense of security.”

The drumbeat of violence erupting across the country and taking an unpredictable variety of forms has deepened anxieties among many American Jews, and contributed to a sense that simply existing in public as a Jewish person is increasingly dangerous. One of the victims of the attack at the march in Boulder was a Holocaust survivor, according to a friend of the victim who was at the scene.

That all three attackers alluded to political objections to Israel raised concerns among many about the threat of left-wing political violence connected to the war in Gaza.

Maybe I’m being to harsh on the Times. Or, maybe the usual folks at the Times missed what Ruth Graham was going to write, because it is rare that you see them blame left wing violence, meaning Democrats.

In April, an opponent of Israel’s war in Gaza circulated a “Wanted” poster online that showed the faces of seven council members, writing that they were “complicit in genocide” for not passing the resolution.

Across the country, many Jews say they have observed an uptick in antisemitism, both personally and in the broader culture, in recent years.

These are Democrats. These are the Democrats learning to hate Israel and then Jews in their left wing colleges. These are the Islamic radicals brought in to the US in large numbers without verifying their backgrounds. But, the Israel hatred, which translates to Jew hatred, never ends

The AP is citing the Ministry of Health, which is run by Hamas.
