There has been an ominous change in American attitudes toward Jews. Consequently, it is time to reassess existing efforts to combat Jew-hatred and consider a different tack.
Recent polling demonstrates just how bad things have become. The Manhattan Institute discovered that 26 percent of Republican voters younger than 50 “believe that Jews receive too much favorable treatment.” Further, 54 percent of men and 39 percent of women under 50 say that “the Holocaust was greatly exaggerated or did not happen as historians describe.” The Pew Research Center reported that 57 percent of Republicans ages 18 to 49 have an unfavorable opinion of Israel.
