Fox News’ “Antisemitism Exposed” newsletter highlights stories on the increasing anti-Jewish prejudice in the United States and around the world. The newsletter features the top stories, with one focusing on the one-year anniversary of the October 7 attacks that left lasting trauma for Israelis and American Jews. Dr. David Fox, director of crisis and trauma services for Chai Lifeline International, discusses the ongoing impact of the attacks on the Jewish community in Israel and the U.S. Fox believes that the events of October 7 will remain seared into the consciousness of Jews and Israelis.
CBS News is facing controversy after altering an answer given by Kamala Harris in an interview about Israel and clashing with a reporter who challenged an anti-Israel guest. Mark Memmott, CBS News’ senior director of standards and practices, instructed employees not to refer to Jerusalem as being in Israel, leading to uproar within the network. This incident highlights the challenges faced by those who speak out against anti-Semitic views and the importance of standing up against hatred and discrimination.
Incidents of hate continue to plague Jewish individuals and institutions, such as the vandalism of University of Michigan President Santa Ono’s home and sidewalk, where anti-Israel messages were spray-painted. Mark Bernstein, a member of the university’s Board of Regents, condemned the vandalism as an act of intimidation by the anti-Semitic mob. These events serve as stark reminders of the ongoing threat faced by Jewish communities and the urgent need to combat anti-Semitism in all its forms.
Liora Rez, founder of StopAntisemitism, contributes a guest editorial discussing the implications of the shocking rise in attacks on Jews and the historical significance of anti-Semitism. Rez argues that a society that targets Jews cannot thrive and that anti-Semitism is a symptom of a deeper societal issue. Without addressing and combatting hatred towards Jews, America risks following the path of other nations where anti-Semitism ran rampant, leading to dire consequences for society as a whole.
Dr. David Fox emphasizes the resilience and unity that have historically characterized the Jewish people’s response to oppression and adversity. He highlights the importance of coming together in times of hardship and standing strong against hatred and discrimination. The quote of the week from Dr. Fox underscores the need for unity and resilience in the face of anti-Semitic attacks and discrimination.
