A new high tide of antisemitism in America

from 1 big thing · host Axios

A federal jury on Wednesday sentenced to death the Pittsburgh Tree of Life Synagogue shooter. The gunman murdered 11 people in 2018, in what was the deadliest antisemitic attack in U.S. history. The big picture: Since then, antisemitism has been on the rise. A report from the Anti-Defamation League found that antisemitic incidents increased by 36% in 2022 to the highest level since 1979. We dig deeper with American University's Director of Jewish Studies. Plus, the U.S. and Europe's $300 billion Russian problem. And, the scope of mental health disorders worldwide. Axios Today Listener Survey Guests: Axios' Kate Marino and American University's Pamela Nadell. Credits: Axios Today is produced by Niala Boodhoo, Alexandra Botti, Fonda Mwangi, Lydia McMullen-Laird and Alex Sugiura. Music is composed by Evan Viola. You can reach us at [email protected].
