Despite overheated rhetoric pouring out of certain members of Congress and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/tiktok-intifada-videos-of-violent-mobs-attacking-jews-sweep-the-internet\">video footage<\/a> that unambiguously shows roving bands of assailants waving the Palestinian flag as they target Jewish diners, Vox concludes that it\u2019s positively perplexed about why hate crimes rose during that time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201c<\/strong>Violent anti-Semitism spiked in America during the Israel-Hamas war. And we don\u2019t know why,\u201d says the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/policy-and-politics\/2021\/6\/2\/22455622\/anti-semitism-israel-gaza-hamas-new-york-los-angeles-2021\">article<\/a>\u2019s subheadline.<\/p>\n<p>Authors often do not write their headlines but, in this case, it accurately reflects the content of Beauchamp\u2019s argument.<\/p>\n<p>He begins by acknowledging the undeniable uptick in violence during Israel\u2019s conflict with the terrorist group Hamas.<\/p>\n<p>The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) recorded that anti-Semitic attacks in the United States surged 75% during the Israel-Gaza conflict. An accompanying graphic of overall \u201canti-Semitic incidents\u201d shows that such events more than doubled between April 26 and May 23. ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt said that spike was \u201cmore drastic and frankly, more dangerous\u201d than during previous Middle Eastern tensions.<\/p>\n<p>But Beauchamp muddies the waters, writing, \u201cWhat\u2019s less clear is why these incidents are happening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s entirely possible that it\u2019s random chance,\u201d he claims.<\/p>\n<p>Beauchamp begins by trying to Fisk the data, asserting that a \u201cwell-known problem with the ADL\u2019s data\u201d is its \u201cexpansive definition\u201d of anti-Semitism, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/finally-france-defines-anti-zionism-form-anti-josh-hammer?amp\">includes anti-Zionism<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>He cites an <a href=\"https:\/\/jewishcurrents.org\/a-closer-look-at-the-uptick-in-antisemitism\/\">article<\/a> by \u00a0Mari Cohen in the left-wing Jewish Currents, which blithely shrugs away many of the 193 reports of anti-Semitic incidents the ADL received in the week that hostilities broke out \u2014 an increase of one-third in just one seven days.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEight entries are cases of vandalism with no explicit connection to Israel\/Palestine (like swastikas drawn on a synagogue or building, one of the most common types of incident reported by the ADL),\u201d Cohen wrote.<\/p>\n<p>But these are precisely the sorts of charges leveled against Israel during its retaliation against Hamas\u2019 attack on Jewish civilians.<\/p>\n<p>MSNBC aired \u201cpro-Palestinian\u201d rhetoric which closely echoed former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard <a href=\"https:\/\/davidduke.com\/jewish-supremacism\/\">David Duke<\/a>. MSNBC host Joy Reid sat silently as foreign policy academic Rula Jebreal \u2014 whom she introduced as \u201cmy friend\u201d \u2014 said that \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/msnbc-guest-jewish-supremacy-caused-israeli-gaza-conflict\">Jewish supremacy<\/a> is the main goal of Israel [sic] apartheid government.\u201d\u00a0(Duke wrote a book titled <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/JewishSupremacism_203\">Jewish Supremacism<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>Both public and private sector condemnations of Israel\u2019s war of self-defense grew so grim that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/adl-reports-75-surge-in-anti-semitic-attacks-calls-on-biden-administration-to-act\">four Democratic congressmen<\/a> wrote a letter to \u201creject 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<\/p>\n<p>Rather than draw attention to the incendiary rhetoric of Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and others, Vox says the Palestinian beatings of random Jews may be the fault of \u2026 President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Beauchamp writes that the beatings could be \u201ca reflection of an upswing in anti-Semitism that began during the Trump campaign and presidency. There is little doubt that anti-Semitic sentiment in America began spiking in 2016 \u2026 most commonly linked to the alt-right\u2019s rise on Trump\u2019s coattails.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The FBI\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fbi.gov\/services\/cjis\/ucr\/publications#Hate-Crime%20Statistics\">hate crimes statistics<\/a> show that the number of anti-Jewish attacks have risen since 2016 \u2014 returning to the equally high rates of such crimes in the years following 9\/11.<\/p>\n<p>Beauchamp also holds out the possibility that America is \u201cbecoming more like Europe, where anti-Semitic violence during military conflicts involving Israel routinely rises,\u201d particularly in areas with large Muslim populations. But he says this is \u201cnot likely.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vox, which has a problematic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/hammer-vox-lies-about-israel-again\">history<\/a> of jaundiced Middle Eastern coverage, concludes, \u201cIt\u2019s far from clear which, if any, of the three explanations presented above will turn out to be the correct one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The article\u2019s conclusion seemed so ludicrous that Ben Domenech hosted a segment about it on Thursday\u2019s episode of \u201cFox News Primetime.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His guest, Rep.\u00a0Maria Salazar\u00a0(R-FL), noted that her district \u201cholds the second-largest Jewish community in the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have an immense problem in this country with this democratic socialism that some people within the Democratic Party are peddling to our youth,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you say \u2018socialism,\u2019 you\u2019re talking about anti-Semitism in the same phrase, even though it may not be mentioned,\u201d she continued. She added that in Marxist societies like Cuba, Venezuela, and North Korea, \u201ceverybody [who] is a socialist or a communist is anti-Jew[ish].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some of history\u2019s worst anti-Semitism took place in Marxist nations, which springs from the secularist philosophy of its founder. Karl Marx, who was ethnically Jewish, spread common anti-Semitic tropes in his monograph \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marxists.org\/archive\/marx\/works\/1844\/jewish-question\/\">On the Jewish Question<\/a>\u201d:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"13\">\n<p>What is the secular basis of Judaism?\u00a0<em>Practical<\/em>\u00a0need,\u00a0<em>self-interest<\/em>.

Emancipation from\u00a0<em>huckstering<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>money<\/em>, consequently from practical, real Judaism, would be the self-emancipation of our time.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Instead of considering this legacy of socialism, past and present, the media savaged Congresswoman Salazar.<\/p>\n<p>Beauchamp posted on social media that he was incensed that \u201ctwo non-Jews in this Fox segment \u2026 think they understand anti-Semitism better than I do,\u201d claiming that they \u201cdid not appear to actually read the article.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou think you can mock my work on anti-Semitism that addresses the very point you claim it doesn\u2019t?\u201d Beauchamp <a href=\"https:\/\/7b2c267b-7017-439a-be5a-4cc28f5bd7ff\/added\">added<\/a>. \u201cI expect an apology.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"12.08\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Hey <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bdomenech?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@bdomenech<\/a>: virtually my entire family was wiped out in the Holocaust.
