I have nothing to add to Beinart's description. I maintain the view that the idea of surging anti-semitism in the US is overwrought.

Also, since you are citing Beinart as your authority, do you agree with him: that"Trump really is fomenting hate against certain groups"

I think Gorka probably has fascist ties & is awful. But once in a blue moon I actually agree w/Michael. All in all ....

... I don't think surging anti-Semitism in US is a huge problem. Alt-right is a cause for concern. But some of this is just more visibility.

Per the Jeet framework, you must therefore be a Trump apologist and anti-semitism denier. I disavow you!

I agree with Cathy that anti-Semitism as a mass phenomenon isn't surging but that empowerment of alt-right (and Gorka!) is a problem

As a reminder, the statement "anti-Semitism as a mass phenomenon isn't surging" would've been insanely controversial just one month ago.

And once again, I agree that Gorka is "a problem" but not for reasons that principally have anything to do with anti-semitism.

If someone belongs to group with Nazi past and praises anti-Jewish militia, shouldn't that be one of the top 2 or 3 problems about them?

Gorka's virulently Islamophobic views and overall rightist disposition are what I find most "problematic."

Not an either/or. It's not surprising that an Islamophobe would also be comfortable with other forms of xenophobia like anti-Semitism.

This is one area where Semitism has it's actual meaning. This might be a quotidian point, but anti-Semitic and Anti-Arab is redundant
