There has been a “ferocious surge of antisemitism in America,” but it’s not on campus. It’s from the same people who are ferociously racist and anti-LGBTQ, and now lying that anti-genocide means anti-semitism.
I don’t doubt that there’s a sprinkling of anti-semites among the protesters, same as there are anti-semites at baseball games and everywhere else in America. Anyone violent or threatening violence ought to be arrested and prosecuted — of course.
But in all this campus hubbub over the past month, the violent and frightening people are the ones ordering the end of protests. And now the President of the United States, standing behind the people ordering the end of protests.
