Antisemitism in the US has risen by 900% – a brief reminder to Jonathan Greenblatt

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Abu Dharr, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that Allah’s Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: Allah, Almighty, said: “O My servants! I have forbidden injustice for Myself and I have forbidden it among you, so do not oppress one another”. [Ṣaḥiḥ Muslim 2577]

Antisemitic incidents in the US have skyrocketed up by 900% over the past decade, Jonathan Greenblatt, head of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), told Michael Starr on The Jerusalem Post Podcast. Greenblatt explained that while there was no doubt a rise in antisemitism since October 7, 2023, it had already been steadily climbing over the years. [end of quote]

Reminder to Jonathan and others: Over the past 70 years, Zionist brutality in Palestine has surged dramatically. While the increase since October 7, 2023, is undeniable, this troubling trend has been on a steady upward trajectory long before that date.

What I can tell you is that antisemitism, both measured in terms of attitudes and incidents, has surged dramatically, not just since post-10/7, but really over the last decade or so. [end of quote]

Reminder to Jonathan and others: Zionist brutality, reflected in both attitudes and incidents, has seen a significant increase, not only since the events of 10/7 but also over the last seventy years.

We started to see a spike in 2016, which had continued, relatively speaking, unabated. In 2019, we had a record high that was followed by a new record in 2021, and then a new record in 2022, and then we blew through the number in 2023, of course, after 10/7. So just in terms of incidents, we’ve literally seen a 900% increase over the past decade. [end of quote]

Reminder to Jonathan and others: Since 1948, we’ve witnessed a significant rise that has persisted without interruption. This trend has been maintained by successive Zionist administrations right up to today, culminating in a dramatic escalation in 2024, particularly following the events of October 7th. In terms of incidents, there has been an astonishing increase of brutality attributed to Zionist forces in the last seven decades.

Incidents, as defined by the ADL, include harassment, vandalism, and violence directed at Jews or Jewish institutions due to their identity. Harassment, however, is not necessarily a crime, and can constitute things such as workplace discrimination, which would be the subject of a civil suit but not criminal charges. [end of quote]

Reminder to Jonathan and others: Incidents, as characterised by numerous organisations, encompass acts such as starvation, illegal settlements, bombings, and unlawful detentions targeting Palestinians based on their identity. Their experiences extend far beyond mere harassment.

Greenblatt noted that the ADL releases annual surveys to help gauge the prevalence of antisemitism in the US. What these have shown is that antisemitism has fallen, only to rise back up again in recent years. [end of quote]

Reminder to Jonathan and others: The evidence of Zionist brutality is so clear that no surveys are necessary to assess its widespread occurrence in Palestine and the West Bank. Daily observations reveal that this brutality has remained constant and unyielding over the years.

When we first did this kind of research in the 1960s, we found that nearly 30% of the US population has elevated, or call it intense, antisemitic attitudes. [end of quote]

However, this would change.

Over the years, that number went down, down, down, down, and stayed quite low between, say, 8-12% for decades,” Greenblatt continued. “When we ran this survey in 2019, it was, I think, 11%. [end of quote]

Reminder to Jonathan and others: In our teenage years during the early 90s, we first became aware of the harsh realities of Zionist violence. It was shocking to learn that Palestinians had been enduring this oppression long before some of our elders were even born, and that the situation has only escalated over the years under the guise of retaliation and self-defense. Only Allah knows if this brutality will lessen or grow stronger. The ongoing violence and land appropriation by Zionists doesn’t require extensive analysis to see the downward trend; the core issue is that the actions of Zionism speak far louder than any rhetoric, particularly in recent times. It is very important to recognise that both antisemitism and Zionism are deeply troubling and deserve condemnation from anyone who values decency. However, the actions of Netanyahu’s Zionist forces stand out as particularly oppressive and ruthless, showing a level of brutality that is hard to overlook.
