Anti-Jewish Rhetoric Infects the West
(National Review) Michael Rubin - Discourse has changed. Anti-Semitic hate mail is becoming more commonplace and more virulent. According to the FBI, in 2002 there were 931 anti-Jewish hate crimes and 155 anti-Muslim attacks; neither is acceptable. What is new is the infection of mainstream discourse with anti-Semitic references. Most disappointing has been the ease with which the questioning of Jewish officials' motivations has infiltrated some in the academic community. Allegations of dual loyalty have even crept into U.S. government interagency discourse.
