Dear Members,
I call your attention to a New York Times editorial (link below) addressing growing concerns of anti-Semitism here in the United States and across Europe.
- The Anti-Defamation League reports that anti-Semitic attacks in the United States have more than doubled from 2017 to 2018.
- A report issued by the German government shows that anti-Semitic incidents in Germany has increased by almost 20 percent in 2018 from the previous year.
- France reports an increase of 74 percent in anti-Semitic acts in a single year, with 541 incidents reported in 2018,
The New York Times editorial is another wake up call that portrays the widespread cancer of anti-Semitism in Europe and is an alert to American leaders of conscience to counter this hatred also metastasized in the United States.
AM YISRAEL CHAI – it depends on every one of us.
