These events are scaring the hell out of those of us who aren't Jewish but love the Jewish people and remember our history, too. Our country is looking more and more like Germany 1939, and that's a horrible observation to make!

Trump has let the racist genie out of the bottle. Always existent in American society, overt displays of racism had been suppressed until Trump, with his racist attacks on various ethnic groups, signaled that such behavior was acceptable. So lame statements such as "come together to fight, confront, and eradicate the evil scourge of anti-Semitism" aside, Trump must look in the mirror.

What’s HE going to do? Go after the groups that are attacking Jews and Christians in their churches? He isn’t going to do that.

The Protocols of the Elders of Zion came out of Russia.
They have form here.

The Protocols of the Elders of Zion didn’t come out of Russia?
You are going to have to do a lot better for a New Year’s bonus.
Mediocre at best. Laughable more suitable.

To answer your question, it is because discrimination is utterly irrational.

With all due respect.....
Modern Israel was created and is maintained and expanded day by day by land theft, forced evictions and murder of innocents. The death toll of Palestinians is far greater than that of Jews in or outside Israel. I don't condone violence against Jews by Palestinians or anyone else either. But why do attacks on Jewish people get rightly covered and condemned but not the atrocities committed by the Jewish state against the Palestinians?

Please explain why the Jewish people are descriminated in America and in the west. For Japanese, they look more or less the same with other caucasians. They contributed a lot in science and classical music. Many jewish people are working in banks and journalism in America.

Don't sparse words, you know EXACTLY what I meant. His daughter: Ivanka is Jewish as is her husband, his family, their children and their in-laws. Now if the men were prejudiced or racist he wouldn’t do anything for the Jewish people, he wouldn’t allow or except his daughter to marry someone Jewish, let alone allow them to be in his administration, so this notion that the man is prejudice or anti-somatic or is a racist is just pure and utter garbage
Another misquote.

Because there are none. Attacks on Jews by believers in islam however, are rapidly increasing everywhere in the West. Even while the media tries to obfuscate the ideological origin of the attacks.

Hate crimes have really spiked since 2016.
Why?

No, it’s very correct, especially when you look at his son in-laws side of extended family.

What a perfect scam, hold your neighbors at gunpoint, while stealing their land, then cry about discrimination from the past to demand sympathy.
bass4funk
Yes, they are. His daughter, son in law and grandkids are Jewish.
But even lower under Trump. Obama had nothing to do with it.

While the recent attack was horrible I think this is being overblown as an 'anti-Semitism crisis' in order to score political points. Any kind of discriminatory and hateful attacks are wrong and evil but I don't think any one ethnicity has a particular problem with it any more than others do. The death toll of Palestinians is ten times the death toll of Israelis in the ME conflict. Will the media explode over the 'anti-Palestinian' racist hate attacks there? Probably not.

That is not quite correct. In case of Judaism, religion is mixed with ethnicity. Yes, it is possible to convert to Judaism, but that is very difficult. Not just a case of saying the Shahada, like in islam. And there are plenty of Jews who identify themselves as Jewish, yet are non-religious, how do you explain that? It is not as simple as you make it out to be.
FizzBit
Gee, couldn't have anything to do with stealing your neighbors land and keeping them imprisoned, now could it? The country is an abomination.

When DeBlasio talks, people yawn.
Actually, he did not, that racist genie was let out eight years earlier.
Hmmm...Democrats have zero agenda on any agenda and the only thing they can keep alive and that helps them is the racist card when all else fails. Trump’s family is Jewish, he’s been more of a friend to Israel and the Jewish people than past Presidents, lowered the unemployment for Blacks and Latinos, you have more and mor minorities gravitating towards him, which is bad for the Democrats, the entire liberal depiction of Trump being a racist is completely and totally falling on deaf ears, the only people that listen to it and regurgitate it are their liberal surrogate pundits on TV (even they don’t believe it) they have to, Trump under no circumstances can or is allowed to be seen as a non-racist, it’s bad for politics.
