We conclude our report on the odd media coverage of the opening of the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem, and the growing problem of Anti-Semitism.
It is not coincidental that, as leftist influence grows greater both within the Democrat Party and academia, anti-Semitism gains. In both Europe and the United States, leftist politics has had a long flirtation with this form of bias. Philip Spencer, writing in The Guardian, notes that “The shame of antisemitism on the left has a long, malign history… The current antisemitism crisis on the left has not come out of nowhere. Instead, it has its roots in a tradition on the left itself, which, at best, has always had difficulty in responding swiftly to antisemitism and, at worst, excused or condoned, even promoted it… This first became a serious problem on the left in the late 19th century, as antisemitism first became a political force in the modern world. Some on the left flirted with the response that there might be something progressive about antisemitism: that it was a kind of anti-capitalism, however crude, which could be harnessed to the socialist cause.”
In Europe, writes Qanta A. Ahmed in National Review, the extraordinary wave of Muslim immigration from nations with a long history of anti-Israel, anti-Semitism has reinvigorated the problem. “Islamist anti-Semitism courses through Europe’s Muslim migrant communities. No country has been affected by this frightening development more than France, which in 2015 alone saw the Charlie Hebdo massacre, the killings at a kosher supermarket a few days later, and then the Bataclan shooting. Less recognized is the steady onslaught of lethal anti-Semitism on Europe’s streets, claiming one Jewish life at a time. The rise in French anti-Semitism is undeniable. Knoll was the eleventh French Jew to be murdered in twelve years. New York Times columnist Bari Weiss places the murders in context: French Jews are less than 1 percent of the country’s population, but 51 percent of racist attacks in France in 2014 were against Jews.”
France 24 notes that “a string of anti-Semitic killings in France…have caused increasing alarm in the country’s Jewish community. ‘Since 2000, there’s been a rise in anti-Semitism in France,’ said Robert Ejnas, executive director of CRIF, an umbrella organisation of French Jewish groups…”
RT News notes that “In an interview with Israeli TV, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, much-maligned for her open-door immigration policy, has said Germany is facing a new form of anti-Semitism from refugees and people of Arab origin. ‘We now have another phenomenon, as we have refugees or people of Arab origin who bring another form of anti-Semitism into the country… No Jewish nursery, no school, and no synagogue can be left without police protection…’”

The Gatestone Institute’s Yves Mamou asks “Has Europe Even Tried to Fight Anti-Semitism? Each time an anti-Semitic attack in Europe receives media attention, politicians rush to condemn it. But verbal condemnations alone change nothing. Anti-Semitism just gets bigger. The European Union has adopted anti-Israel policies out of fear of upsetting Muslims, but this fear of upsetting Muslims has been fueling Muslim anti-Semitism… On one side, they condemn anti-Semitism but on other, they are just whipping it up.”
The Clarion Project reports that A “letter was drafted by former Charlie Hebdo editor Philippe Val. Signatories included former French President Nicolas Sarkozy, actor Gerard Depardieu, former Prime Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, former Paris Mayor Bertrand Delanoe, Chief Rabbi Haim Korsia, five imams and singers Charles Aznavour and Francoise Hardy. The letter explicitly identified the threat as emanating from ‘radical Islamists’ in specific predominantly immigrant Muslim communities. ‘French Jews are 25 times more at risk of being attacked than their fellow Muslim citizens,’ the letter continued. ‘Ten percent of the Jewish citizens of the [Paris region], meaning about 50,000 people, have recently had to change their residence because they were no longer safe in certain neighborhoods and because their children could no longer attend government schools. This involves quiet ethnic cleansing.’ This is not the first time such concerns are being raised. Dr. Guy Milliere, a lecturer at the University of Paris, wrote a policy paper for the Gatestone Institute earlier this year, noting that the Jewish population of France has dropped from 500,000 in 2000 to 400,000 today. In addition, he explained that Jews have been driven out of certain neighborhoods by extremely anti-Semitic Muslim gangs. ‘Graffiti was spray painted on Jewish-owned homes calling on the owners to ‘flee immediately’ if they want to live and anonymous letters containing live bullets were sent to Jewish mailboxes,’ he wrote.”
There is an upswing in anti-Semitic violence in the United States, as well. An ADL study found that those incidents in the U.S. surged more than one-third in 2016 and jumped 86 percent in the first quarter of 2017.
