We have seen a ferocious surge of antisemitism in America and around the world. Vicious propaganda on social media. Jews forced to keep their - hide their kippahs under baseball hats, tuck their Jewish stars into their shirts.
With very few exceptions, Jewish students do not face physical danger on American campuses. A handful of videos purporting to depict mob violence against Jews are mostly wrenched out of context. There are no pogroms.
The crisis, instead, is the intensification of a long-standing phenomenon. For many years, it has been common for deep criticism of Israel to be a litmus test for participation in left-wing activist spaces.
The fact that anti-Zionist groups not only allow but encourage and celebrate membership of Jewish students is not a refutation of this problem. It is a description of the problem.
