Why Antisemitism in U.S. Rises During Times Of Conflict In Middle East

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – This week, the Biden administration announced new efforts to combat antisemitism incidents on college campuses across the country. The rise in these incidents, both on and off campuses, is in the wake of the Hamas terror attacks on Israel. FBI Director Christopher Wray warned Tuesday that antisemitism is reaching “historic levels” in the U.S.

Heidi Beirich talked with WCCB News @ Ten anchor Morgan Fogarty about why these rises happen. Beirich co-founded the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism, and she’s an expert on the American far right.
