Antisemitism in America

Today is the official first day of winter, it but it is already winter in America.  According to an article by Bret Stephens, a Harvard-Harris poll conducted earlier this month found that 9 percent of Americans over 65 agree with the statement, “Jews as a class are oppressors.”  Not the Netanyahu government, not right-wing settlers on the West Bank, but Jews.


To me 9% is high but it gets far more depressing.


44% of Americans ages 25 to 34 agreed with that statement.


67% of Americans aged 18 to 24 agreed with that statement.  


See Bret Stephens, “Why I Can’t Stop Writing About Oct. 7,” New York Times, (Dec. 20, 2023), p. A23.
