The Rise of Anti-Semitism and its Pervasive Nature
Anti-Semitism is a long-standing form of hate and discrimination, yet it receives inadequate attention in today's society. It manifests in different ways, including the far right's blatant anti-Semitic beliefs, the more insidious equating of Israel to terrorist organizations on the far left, and also from radical Islam. The prevalence of anti-Semitism is evidenced by the alarming increase in anti-Semitic attacks and incidents, such as the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting. Unconscious biases about Jewish people contribute to this issue, making it crucial to shed light on and raise awareness about anti-Semitism.
