Majority of American Jews believe “extreme right” more threatening than “extreme Islam”

A stunning finding about American Jews polled in the U.S. on the threat of antisemitism: more Jews believe that the “extreme political right” poses a bigger threat than Islamic “extremism,” according to an American Jewish Committee (AJC) poll:

Almost 90 percent of Jews who responded said that the extreme political right presents an anti-Semitic threat. Less, though, said the same about “extremism in the name of Islam” — only 85 percent said it represents an anti-Semitic threat in the United States.

This despite the fact that Islamic antisemitism has had a huge impact, all the way up to Congress. Even a Washington Post article identified Congresswomen Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar as open antisemites. Their partnership with “vicious antisemites” who also aim to destroy Israel is well known.

In reality, there is no organized “extreme political right” today. The entire Palestinian resistance is based on obliterating Israel “from the river to the sea,” and the movement has managed to gain worrying traction over the decades, a movement which began in 1948 among surrounding Arab nations, as the Jewish state declared its nationhood. Yet still denial prevails. How troubling and how damaging this trend is to efforts to resist the Islamization of the West and the global jihad.

When one looks for evidence about antisemitism on the “far right,” there is first of all a problem simply with defining the “far right,” as this term is routinely linked to Nazism. But Nazism was socialist Left, not right. Hitler’s National Socialist German Workers’ Party, or Nazi Party, persecuted the Jews. Hitler allied with the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem in seeking a “final solution“; today, we still see a Leftist-Islamic supremacist alliance that threatens Jews and the world at large.

Here are some references to note:

• “Hamas has called on Gazans to stop waving banners with swastikas during Friday’s border riots… The terrorist group says it does not want ‘the Zionist occupation to use it to delegitimize the demonstrations.’”
• French Jews targeted by Muslims are flocking to Israel for their safety, as the number of Jews in France is dwindling fast.
•  Germany’s Angela Merkel admitted that antisemitism is coming to the country from “refugees or people of Arab origin.”
• Current trends indicate highly disturbing facts about the continued rise of Islamic antisemitism — see HERE.
• Jihad Watch has a whole category monitoring Islamic antisemitism. Read HERE.
• The David Horowitz Freedom Center released a booklet: “Islamic Anti-Semitism in the United States,” by Robert Spencer.
• The Jewish Virtual Library has prepped a reference page for those who need to see it for themselves how ingrained Islamic antisemitism is, with references from the Qur’an.

The poll about American Jews and their views about antisemitism also included this:

“When asked about their own voting history, 61 percent of respondents said they voted for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election — 17 percent said they voted for Donald Trump.”

Donald Trump has stood behind Jews and the Jewish state of Israel. Those on the so-called “far-right” experience daily verbal attacks, smears to their reputation, and sometimes physical assaults from the likes of Antifa in their efforts to protect freedom and to stand with the state of Israel.

The AJC stats are appalling, and reminiscent of the effects of the propaganda that the Nazis spread in manipulating the masses in World War II. Today, the propaganda mill is churned by politically correct Leftists who supposedly champion causes such as “tolerance,” “diversity” and “pluralism” — all absent from the doctrines of normative Islam. They ignore systemic Islamic persecution of religious minorities, including Jews, black slavery by Arab Muslims, and the whole range of human rights abuses committed worldwide in the name of Islam and Sharia.

“Poll: Extreme right-wing more anti-Semitic than Islam, Jews say,” by Jordan Fenster, CT Post, October 24, 2019:

American Jews believe anti-Semitism is a problem in the United States and becoming more so, according to a poll released this week.

When asked how much of a problem “do you think anti-Semitism is in the United States today,” 88 percent of Jews responded that it is either “a very serious problem” or “somewhat” of a problem, according to the poll released Wednesday by the AJC.

When asked about sources of that rise in anti-Semitism, 18 percent of respondents said the Democratic Party bears some responsibility.

That number rises to 54 percent when asked if the Republican Party bears some responsibility, with 17 percent saying the GOP bears “total responsibility” for the current level of anti-Semitism.

Almost 90 percent of Jews who responded said that the extreme political right presents an anti-Semitic threat. Less, though, said the same about “extremism in the name of Islam” — only 85 percent said it represents an anti-Semitic threat in the United States.

When asked the same about the extreme political left, 64 percent said it presents an anti-Semitic threat.

Though the majority of respondents said they had not been the victim of either a verbal or physical attack, many Jews said they did not openly identify their heritage — 31 percent said they have “avoided publicly wearing, carrying, or displaying things that might help people identify” them as Jewish…..
