Authorities called it a targeted act of violence against the Jewish community. Gov. Gavin Newsom publicly condemned antisemitic violence, but critics say he frequently uses antisemitic-sounding dog whistles. The piece notes Newsom as a potential 2028 presidential candidate and recalls a controversial remark in which he described Israel as an apartheid state, a claim that drew pushback from Jewish leaders and commentators who said it fuels antisemitism and harms Jewish people. Newsom\u2019s office posted messages of sympathy and said California would coordinate with law enforcement to protect Jewish communities.<\/p>\n<p>The article argues that antisemitism is rising in the United States and that the Democratic Party has pandered to a left-leaning base that includes elements hostile to Jews. It suggests Newsom\u2019s recent remarks gave rhetorical cover to these elements, even as he condemned the recent attack. The piece also notes negative social-media reactions and ongoing debates about how to respond to antisemitism within politics, including references to potential future alignments with controversial figures.
