The Gaza Crisis is Stoking Antisemitism in the U.S.

I was quoted in this NBC News article by Corky Siemaszko about antisemitic harassment of Jewish students.

The NBC News article The Gaza Crisis is Stoking Antisemitism in the U.S. examines the sharp rise in antisemitic incidents across the United States following the outbreak of war between Israel and Hamas. It highlights disturbing trends, including hate crimes, online vitriol, and harassment of Jewish students on college campuses. Pamela Nadell, a historian at American University, contextualizes this surge within the broader history of American antisemitism. She notes that while antisemitism has long existed in the U.S., the unprecedented scale and intensity of hatred amplified by social media make this moment particularly alarming.

“Antisemitism has always been part of American history. Alas, what is unique is the extent of the antisemitic vitriol magnified horrifically on social media,” said Nadell.
