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.

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.
