"Leaders of Project Esther refused to address the precipitous rise of right-wing antisemitism in their recommendations, and it’s easy to see why, as doing so might force them to look in the mirror." @BenLorber8 on the Heritage Foundation's new project: ow.ly/X7WI50U6cxF


"At the state, county, and precinct level, right-wing antisemitism has only become more severe, while going largely unchallenged." @shane_burley1 writes for RD on the sources of rising antisemitism: ow.ly/ViUK50U5tEI

"We gain less from asking ourselves whether Columbus might have been Jewish than from asking why some might be eager to put distance between Columbus and Christianity." @samirakmehta writes on the new documentary "Columbus' DNA:" ow.ly/zCmq50TXhYV
