In the wake of recent global and domestic events, antisemitism in the United States has surged to levels unseen in decades. Historically, American society strongly rejected antisemitism after World War II, with attacks on Jewish communities remaining rare and widely condemned. However, following the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel and the subsequent conflict, antisemitic rhetoric and incidents have sharply increased, fueled in part by online platforms and opportunists seeking attention and profit.

This rise has been amplified by international actors and digital manipulation, pushing once-marginalized hate into mainstream discourse. The article calls for Americans to reject and ignore those who profit from spreading antisemitism, advocating instead for support of voices and platforms that promote understanding and counter hate. As the nation approaches important electoral years, the author urges a recommitment to the values of religious tolerance and support for the Jewish community, emphasizing that the fight against antisemitism is a defining moral issue for America.
