'The Jewish community needs greater protection.” Since the Dec. 10 massacre at a kosher grocery store in New Jersey there have been 19 anti-Semitic incidents in the U.S., according to the ADL’s Tracker of Anti-Semitic Incidents.
. The tracker is a compilation of recent cases of anti-Jewish vandalism, harassment and assault reported to or detected by the group.
The surge of high-profile attacks on the Jewish community, including shooting rampages at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh in October 2018, and at a synagogue in Poway, California, in April, have caused consternation around the country. “So far, they’ve only shot our windows with BB guns, but you never know these days,” Toser said. “I’ve never heard of so many anti-Semitic attacks as I hear about these days. My parents talked a lot about it during the war. It’s very sad.”
“The demonization of Jews and Israel on college campuses and social media doesn’t stop there. It is being received and propagated in the real world and causes anti-Semitic extremists to take the life of innocent people, just because they are Jewish,” she told The Associated Press. The Simon Wiesenthal Center issued a statement urging President Donald Trump to instruct the FBI to create a special task force to address the violence. Concern over the attacks prompted Gov. Andrew Cuomo to direct the New York State Police to patrol Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods across the state.
Evan R. Bernstein, the regional director of the Anti-Defamation League of New York and New Jersey, said while there are no studies to fully explain why the incidents are occurring, he believes part of the issue is changing neighborhood demographics and stereotypes about Jews. He said there is a lack of understanding of who the Hasidic groups are as they expand in communities in the region.
