Regarding the crisis of rising anti-Semitism here in America, it is time for some blunt truths to be stated.

• Anti-Semitism is flourishing mainly in the Democratic Party. CNN’s polling director Harry Entin noted earlier this week that Democrats have turned hostile to Israel, and favorable to “Palestinians” by a whopping net shift of 50 percent (larger among younger Democrats) in less than 10 years:

• Where did this come from? I have many times written about the prescience of the late Aaron Wildavsky, one of America’s pre-eminent political scientists from the 1960s until his passing in 1994, who outlined in 1972 how anti-Semitism would be revived chiefly on campus, as an offshoot of metastasizing leftism:

[S]ometime in the mid-1960s blacks replaced Jews as the nation’s number one oppressed minority and—second—that, toward the end of that decade, white radicals succeeded in having Jews removed from the parlance of left critics of society as “minority,” despite the fact that they constituted no more than 3 percent of the population and were still undoubtedly subject to minor forms of discrimination in banking, business, social life, politics, and elsewhere. It took Christians 1,000 years to go from oppressed minority to inquisitorial majority; those clever Jews seem to have done it practically overnight. Let us investigate this strange case further.
