Jew Hatred begins as a religious hatred which transmographize or mutates into a racial hatred which transmographize and mutates into anti-Zionism as a hatred.

And if Israel were to ever cease to exist some new form of Jew hatred would surely take its

place.

We just don't know what it will be. In the past year nearly 25% of American Jews were the target of anti-Semitism.

Think about it, that's one in four Jews.

This, according to a recent study, a very large survey conducted by the American

Jewish Committee, an anti-Semitic incidents in the U.S. more than doubled during the Gaza War

last May.

And the expressions of anti-Semitism are not only increasing in number, but are also becoming more violent.

This topic was back in the news in recent days with the hostage taking at the Beth Israel

Synagogue in Colliville, Texas. But was it actually in the news? Was this event covered

the way it should have been? Barely. And this tells us a lot

about anti-Semitism during these times. Is this period different? Have we entered a new

normal for anti-Semitism? Is it just the extremes or are

there now more enablers? To help us put all of this in perspective, we're joined by

Brett Stevens, Pulitzer Prize winning

columnist for the New York Times. Brett came to the Times after a long career

with the Wall Street Journal where he was most recently deputy editorial page

editor and for 11 years a foreign affairs column. recently Deputy Editorial Page Editor- Israel. Brett has reported from around the world and interviewed scores of world leaders.

He was raised in Mexico City, earned his BA at the University of Chicago, and his masters

at the London School of Economics. Brett is also the editor-in-chief of Sapir, a journal exploring the future of the American Jewish community. I highly recommend it.

Brett has written a lot about this new wave of anti-Semitism.
