Jewish anxiety over antisemitism has resurfaced in recent years, as hostility toward Jews and Israel grows across the political spectrum. Once confident in support from both major parties, many Jews now feel abandoned by former allies, as antisemitic rhetoric and conspiracy theories gain traction among progressives and some conservatives alike.
