@1 and @ Joseph
Yes there were times of anti semitism especially by the Holocaust where fdr sent a ship full of Jews back to the German slaughterhouses. And also there was Charles Lindbergh with the famous anti semitic “America first” slogan which Trump proudly adopted and doubled down on even when asked by Jewish organizations repeatedly not to use it. He clearly knew what it stood for which at the time meant to “worry” for America and not get involved for the Jews being murdered in Europe.
Here is a quote from an article- Lindbergh poured particular ire on the Jews. “Jewish groups in this country,” he told the crowd, should realize that in the event of war “they will be among the first to feel its consequences.” Individual Jews, he concluded, presented a unique danger to the United States because of their “large ownership and influence in our motion pictures, our press, our radio and our Government.”
Coincidence Trump rhetoric? And is it also heartwarming to know that Trump reportedly kept a book of the German demons speeches by his bedside to draw influence from?
The point is ya there were cases of hate speech in America by the time of the Holocaust, which I’m not sure is so calming to parallel that with our times. But again this is 2019 where hatred towards groups is not tolerated which makes this worse. But apparently it’s ok if it’s geared towards the weak defenseless Jews. And now you see individuals taking things into their own hands and not just certain political figures riling up crowds and speaking as they wish even though thats something that’s happening as well.
I’m not too sure that there was ever such a volume and frequency of anti semitic attacks in the USA which is why they are considered to be at an all time high.
And with corrupt media brainwashing the young, social media, and such communication these things are spreading like wildfire.
