Antisemitic Scourge Today

  • Revealed: the far-right, antisemitic men’s club network spreading across US. A nationwide US network of dozens of far-right, men-only fraternal clubs has what members describe as “literally hundreds” of participants who include past and currently serving military personnel, lawyers, civil servants, and prominent antisemitic influencers.
    The Old Glory Club (OGC) – which has at least 26 chapters in 20 US states and until now has drawn little attention – exemplifies the alarming rise of organized racist political groups in the past few years but especially during the rise of Donald Trump and his return to the White House.

  • The list of horrific antisemitic attacks in the United States keeps growing. Two weeks ago in Boulder, Colo., a man set fire to peaceful marchers who were calling for the release of Israeli hostages. Less than two weeks earlier, a young couple was shot to death while leaving an event at the Jewish Museum in Washington. The previous month, an intruder scaled a fence outside the official residence of Gov. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania and threw Molotov cocktails while Mr. Shapiro, his wife and children were asleep inside. In October, a 39-year-old Chicago resident was shot from behind while walking to synagogue. New York Times Editorial, June 14, 2025

  • Two young employees of the Israeli Embassy, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim were murdered on May 21 outside the Capital Jewish Museum in the heart of Washington D.C.  

    The slaying was an extreme example of what law enforcement officials and others call a global surge in antisemitic incidents that emerged after Hamas terrorists killed more than 1,200 people and seized 250 hostages on Oct. 7, 2023.

     Yaron and Sarah's murders were terrorist hate crimes aimed squarely at the Jewish community. 

     Terrorism is a pathology of political impotence. In a democratic society –and the United States, if only by a thread, still is one – a movement resorts to terror when it has failed in the central tasks of politics: That is, winning others over to its cause through persuasion, leveraging the power of people to pressure decision makers and raising representatives to positions of influence through electoral gains.

  • The Memorial Service for the Czech and Slovak Victims of the Holocaust. on March 16, 2023, over Zoom was interfered by an antisemitic attack by (yet) unknown attackers. The first instance, several minutes into the service involved a superimposition of a red swastika being drawn on the top of video-cast images. Several minutes later, new images where superimposed containing not only swastika but also obscene video from the PornoHub. Subsequently, sound of the Zoom meeting was interfered with.

    Authorities have been notified about this incident.
