The Oldest Hatred: All Good Americans Stand in Solidarity Against Anti-Semitism
(Wall Street Journal) Editorial - The massacre at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh is an awful reminder that there are human hatreds far more virulent and ancient than those that animate our current political divisions. The killer of 11 human beings on the Sabbath Saturday morning was an anti-Semite who was out to kill Jews. This irrational hatred is one of humanity's oldest and manifests itself in murder almost daily in the Middle East. Jews are killed simply because they are Jews, as they have been throughout history. This is why millions have sought refuge in a Jewish state, Israel. Anti-Semitism is a hatred that goes back millennia. That is the toxin to banish as much as possible from American life.
