Tolerating hatred in their midst

Six months to the day of the infamous synagogue massacre in Pittsburgh, neo-Nazi terrorism struck again with a murderous rampage at a vibrant Hassidic congregation in suburban San Diego.
The attack occurred days after the New York Times and Representative Ilhan Omar pointedly tried to obscure the fact that Jesus was an ethnic and religious Jew—identifying him simply as a “Palestinian.”
It also came at a time when the Times had to apologize for a vile anti-Semitic cartoon showing the Prime Minister of Israel as a dog, leading a blind, yarmulke-wearing Trump.
No, it’s not true that Democrats have become “anti-Jewish” — the overwhelming majority of Jewish voters continue to identify as Democrats and play leadership roles in the party.
But facing an undeniable upsurge in anti-Semitism, Democrats have been reluctant to call-out the haters in their midst, especially in contrast with the GOP and its consistent support for Israel and religious liberty.
