That would make a big difference.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">On May 20, the ADL <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adl.org\/news\/press-releases\/preliminary-adl-data-reveals-uptick-in-antisemitic-incidents-linked-to-recent\"><span class=\"s1\">reported<\/span><\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"11\">\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>An analysis of Twitter in the days following the recent outbreak of violence showed more than&nbsp;17,000 tweets&nbsp;which used variations of the phrase, \u201cHitler was right\u201d between May 7 and May 14, 2021. ADL has also seen an increase in on-the-ground activity that demonizes Israel and that has crossed at times into antisemitism.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">The information comes as many on the Left have repeatedly spoken out against Israel in a way that is being criticized by some as \u201canti-Semitic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/four-house-democrats-rip-progressives-blatantly-antisemitic-attacks-on-israel\"><span class=\"s1\">reported<\/span><\/a> by The Daily Wire, Democratic Representatives <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">Josh Gottheimer (NJ), Elaine Luria (VA), Kathy Manning (NC), and Dean Phillips (MN)<\/span>&nbsp;wrote a <a href=\"https:\/\/gottheimer.house.gov\/news\/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=2537\"><span class=\"s1\">letter<\/span><\/a> Wednesday discussing the anti-Semitic violence that has recently hit large cities in America.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cThe lawmakers said that \u2018elected officials\u2019 have driven antisemitic sentiment by falsely calling Israel an \u2018apartheid state\u2019 and accusing the Jewish state of committing acts of \u2018terrorism,&#8217;\u201d The Daily Wire noted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cElected officials have used reckless, irresponsible antisemitic rhetoric,\u201d the letter said. \u201cThese include repeated, unacceptable, and blatantly antisemitic statements made by a Member of Congress comparing facemasks and other COVID-19 public health measures to \u2018what happened in Nazi Germany\u2019 during the Holocaust.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cWe also reject comments from Members of Congress accusing Israel of being an \u2018apartheid state\u2019 and committing \u2018act[s] of terrorism.\u2019 These statements are antisemitic at their core and contribute to a climate that is hostile to many Jews,\u201d the letter added. \u201cWe must never forget that less than eighty years ago, within the lifetime of our parents and grandparents, six million people were murdered by the Nazis in the Holocaust because they were Jews. Israel has long provided the Jewish people with a homeland in which they can be safe after facing centuries of persecution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The letter continued, \u201cSadly, we have learned from our history that when this type of violence and inflammatory rhetoric goes unaddressed, it can fuel increasing hatred and violence, and lead to unspeakable acts against Jews. That is why we need a united, bipartisan, national-level commitment to confront and address the threat of antisemitism head-on. Antisemitism is wrong, and it deserves to be unequivocally condemned by all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
