As Anti-Israel protests continue on American campuses, it is becoming clear that many who are protesting the Israel-Hamas war are motivated by their hatred of Jews. Anti-Semitic incidents among the protesters have increased and increased and increased.

Obviously not all the protesters are screaming their ant-Jewish hatred but many are. The louder that these protesters get, so do anti-Semitic incidents increase. Jews on American campuses have seen an uptick of antisemitism in the last couple of years. That was well before the war in Gaza, a war that Hamas started.

It's looking more and more like the protests are an excuse to show hatred towards Jews. The hatred has resulted in some violent incidents. If something isn't done, these Jew hating protesters could feel emboldened to become much more violent.

We can see that these progressive protesters are fueled by their hatred of the establishment and their hatred for Jews. Progressives supposedly preach equality and diversity. Do they mean this or do they mean everyone that aren't Jews? That sounds hypocritical.

It's now in the hands of the protest leaders to step in and put a stop to this hatred. If they don't, they will create even more criticism and the belief that these protests are really about being anti-Jewish.

Bernie Sanders who is revered by progressives, condemned bigotry and especially ant-antisemitism but sympathizes with the protesters. That should come as no surprise coming from Sanders. The guy is an extremist left-winger.

I believe that extremism on both the right and the left is wrong and shouldn't be tolerated. We should stamp out extremism before it gets out of hand. Jews across America are frightened. There's been a huge increase in anti-antisemitism in recent years. These kinds of hate filled protests remind Jews of 1930's and 1940's Europe.

Let's hope that these protests aren't hiding a greater threat to Jews. Let's hope that cooler heads will prevail. Let's hope that these protest leaders put an end to the antisemitism on American campuses.
