Can it happen here? The lessons of Europe’s red-green antisemitic surge
T. Belman. I don’t trust anything the ADL says and does. Tobin is quite right to take them somewhat to task in this article. Yes, the ADL report points out the problem but at the same time it offers solutions in line with woke policies.
ADL’s report about anti-Israel activism fueling European Jew hatred is welcome but fails to point out that U.S. liberals need to rethink their fealty to woke ideology.

America isn’t Europe. That’s the key thing to bear in mind when reading the Anti-Defamation League’s sobering report on “Antisemitism and Radical Anti-Israel Bias on the Political Left in Europe,” published last week.
Some parallels can be drawn between the way a bizarre and troubling red-green alliance between leftist elites and Muslim immigrants has mainstreamed antisemitism in Europe and the growing influence of the intersectional left in the United States with the same aims. Americans should be paying close attention to the rising tide of Jew-hatred on the other side of the Atlantic and seeking to learn from it. But it’s important to remember the big differences between the two situations. More than that, the ADL’s policy recommendations stemming from its research don’t adequately alert Americans to the forces that are working toward the same dismal surge in antisemitism.
If Special Counsel Jack Smith has his way, election integrity as we know it will be a thing of the past, and all election results in the future will be suspect.
