Since there already are institutions that cover the topic, the Jewish Journal just needs to tune in, summarize, and publish, both in print and on line.
. One addition: Canary Mission is THE most thorough source for keeping up with campus anti-Semitism.
Dear David,
Anti-Semitism is not a Left/Right issue. It is a human-rights- for-Jews issue. I hope that the coming year will mark the onset of the Jewish Journal reporting on the depth and breadth of anti-Semitism, in the United States on campus and off, in Europe, and in Israel. This can be done at no cost to the Jewish Journal simply by having your staff review sources that do in-depth coverage of the issue.
As a community, we will never successfully combat twenty-first century anti-Semitism, both here in the United States and abroad, if we do not have the full picture. Obscurantism has not, and will not, result in ending the current assault on us, the Jewish people. In order for us to unite against this scourge, we need to be fully informed.
Jewish pride: By omission and/or commission, lying about Israel is lying about Jews. That’s anti-Semitism and we must vociferously expose the slanders and those that spew them.
1) Anti-Semitism on US campuses, both K-12 as well as universities: The online publications of David Horowitz Freedom Center assiduously cover campus anti-Semitism so a daily review of each is essential: Frontpage Magazine, The Point Frontpage Magazine and Truth Revolt. Being on the e mails lists of AMCHA Initiative, Americans for Peace and Tolerance and The Israel Group is also necessary for staying up-to-date on both K-12 and university anti-Semitism.
As a community we have not even united to act against the most dangerous anti-Semitic accusation hurled against us on campus : The blood libel “Israel commits genocide/
extermination/ethnic cleansing/is-a-Nazi-state against the Palestinians” – despite an approximate 250% increase in Pal Arab population since 1967! One form or another of the blood libel has been used as an excuse to maim and murder Jews for millennia. History will repeat if we do not unite to debunk the blood libel and all other campus canards.
2) Anti-Semitism in US off campus:
2A) Anti-Semitism emanating from US mosques, Islamic centers, and Muslim political and communal organizations in US is chronic. If we minimize the extent of this problem the US will become as hostile an environment for Jews as Europe is today. The Investigative Project on Terrorism is the key one-stop-shop on the topic – getting on its e mail list is necessary to stay fully informed.
2B) Anti-Semitism in the American press: Covering this issue could not be easier. C.A.M.E.R.A. does all the research. Every week a C.A.M.E.R.A headline, opening paragraph, plus link to C.A.M.E.R.A on line page for the balance of the article would, in no time, give Jewish Journal readers a fuller picture. C.A.M.E.R.A.’s Los Angeles Times coverage would be given priority, followed by C.A.M.E.R.A posts on whichever news outlets your research has shown your subscribers read and watch.
3) Anti-Semitism in Europe: Beyond reporting the physical attacks against Jews, there are European government reports after reports on how it is the Muslim population that is responsible for the ever increasing anti-Semitism in Europe. These reports should not be ignored. See attached.
Breitbart does a great deal of reporting on all aspects of European anti-Semitism. Its posts on this subject ALWAYS contain links to original source material which you may prefer referencing as your source since many of your readers might consider Breitbart too right wing to be credible. Gatestone Institute also covers the topic of European anti-Semitism in depth.
4) Anti-Semitism in Israel: Both the nonstop Abbas/PA/Fatah/PLO incitement to hate and violence against Jews in Israel, as well as the nonstop Abbas Arab attacks against Jews in Israel, are examples of extreme anti-Semitism. Palestinian Media Watch is THE source that reports on the chronic incitement. Israel Behind the News focuses on the incitement to hate and violence in the Pal Arab curriculum. Receiving the e mailed updates from Palestinian Media Watch and Israel Behind the News is essential for staying current on the incitement issue. At a minimum, every week, a headline and opening paragraph, with link to full post of a Palestinian Media Watch bulletin would be in the Jewish Journal in print and online.
Israel National News plus The Jewish Press cover the endless Abbas Arab violence against Jews. The chronic Abbas Arab physical attacks on Jews in Israel should not be minimized. If violence against Jews is not anti-Semitism, what is?
