As Amir Rosen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tabletmag.com\/sections\/news\/articles\/open-season-jews-new-york-city-hate-crimes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">detailed<\/a> only a few months ago, there have been hundreds of violent attacks targeting Jews in New York since 2018, \u201cmany of them documented on camera, [and] only a single perpetrator has served even one day in prison.\u201d Of course, mentioning that the culprits of anti-Jewish violence are predominantly black or Hispanic, and live in one of the nation\u2019s most left-wing cities, would necessitate acknowledging that antisemitism can\u2019t be neatly laid at the feet of Republicans. That is inconvenient, no doubt. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor most of my adult life, antisemites \u2014 with exceptions like Pat Buchanan and Mel Gibson \u2014 have lacked status in America,\u201d Goldberg writes. Really? Al Sharpton, <a href=\"https:\/\/amsterdamnews.com\/news\/2019\/02\/22\/rev-al-sharpton-meets-democratic-presidential-cand\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">kingmaker<\/a> and presidential \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/the-friday-cover-archives\/revved-up-how-al-sharpton-became-obamas-go-to-man-on-race\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">go-to man<\/a>,\u201d must have slipped Goldberg\u2019s mind, even though she is a regular guest on his MSNBC program. Time does not erase the fact that this man spearheaded riots and fueled insidious antisemitism and racism that resulted in Jews and others being killed. Has Goldberg ever asked Sharpton to explain his views on \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/corner\/never-forget-al-sharptons-history\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">diamond merchants<\/a>\u201d of Crown Heights \u2013 where, as it happens, a Jewish man was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/news\/no-arrests-made-in-brutal-beating-of-orthodox-jewish-brooklyn-man\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">brutally beaten<\/a> just this summer? Perhaps her privilege has shielded her from that history, as well.<\/p>\n<p>Now, of course, simply because the liberal establishment embraces Sharpton \u2014 or Barack Obama\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ajc.com\/news\/local\/could-this-long-lost-photo-have-derailed-obama-2008-campaign\/jC8NKhQr6a72VjRYY9o0EM\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mentor<\/a> was a notorious Jew-hater, or a smiling Nancy Pelosi posed on <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2019\/03\/05\/the-democrats-resolution-condemning-anti-semitism-is-a-transparent-joke\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">magazine covers<\/a> with a woman who says Jews can hypnotize the world for \u201cevil,\u201d or the Nation of Islam\u2019s bigotry is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/politics\/archive\/2018\/03\/nation-of-islam\/555332\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rationalized<\/a> in the august pages of The Atlantic, or anti-\u201cZionists\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/badgerherald.com\/news\/2021\/12\/06\/antisemitic-messages-chalked-on-uw-hillel-sidewalk-on-hanukkah\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">attack<\/a> Hillel buildings on college campuses \u2014 does not excuse Trump\u2019s meeting with Ye X and Opie Himmler.
