After the Nazi Holocaust, the rallying cry against violent antisemitism was “never again.” But the Muslim Arabs who were allied with Hitler during World War II continued to attempt genocide, and now a shocking number of Westerners are on the side of the Jew-hating killers.
The Nazi Holocaust did not begin with death camps. There were years of antisemitic propaganda, cultural division, and slowly escalating violence before the gas chambers of Auschwitz. If we do not learn from the past, we could be heading down the same disastrous path as Germany did, courtesy of Democrats and a growing fringe of anti-Israel “conservatives.”
An August survey from Polarization Research Lab found the following perturbing results:
For six weeks our national polarization tracking survey included an item measuring public support for an explicitly antisemitic murder—an act motivated by a victim’s Jewish identity. Our data include 6,000 interviews from YouGov (May-July 2025).
Direct support for antisemitic murder is low but meaningful at 2.8%–a level comparable to what we measure for political violence. However, the key finding is the alarmingly high level of public indifference. Our study shows that 8.3% of Americans are indifferent to an explicitly antisemitic murder. This figure is four times larger than the indifference we observe toward other types of political murder. Together, 11.1% of Americans either support or are indifferent to the murder of a Jew simply because the victim was Jewish.
It is difficult to wrap one’s mind around such a statistic. And yet, considering the surge in antisemitism from both the political left and the political right in America, it sometimes almost seems as if the number of Americans indifferent to antisemitic murder is even higher than 11%.

I wrote yesterday about Democrats’ increasing affinity for terrorism. They support and fund jihadi groups and governments like the Taliban, Hamas, and the Palestinian Authority. From campus riots to mass shootings to aid campaigns, American leftists have made it painfully clear that their sympathies are with Islamists and against Jews. As of March, Gallup polling found that six in 10 Democrats support Palestinians over Israelis. The percentage of American adults overall who sympathize more with Palestinians increased by six percentage points since last year.
Astoundingly, data shows that U.S. sympathy with Israel has gone down steadily since the October 7 massacre, despite the fact that a significant majority of Palestinians still support terrorism, and Israel is still fighting off constant terrorist attacks. To some extent Democrats are appealing to the large numbers of Muslim migrants they have brought in, but the problem goes much deeper than that.

Indeed, the truly inexplicable part is that even many people who have long been conservative are starting to turn against Israel. Some are proceeding to the next logical but alarming step of vocally hating Jews. “America First” is being warped by some Republicans to mean opposition to Israel, and some Christians have forgotten that Jews are our older brothers in the faith and that Jesus was Himself a Jew. They are acting as if we Christians must be at war with Judaism.
We know where all this hatred leads. The global Jewish population has never recovered from the Holocaust, and we in the West should be rallying to defend Jews instead of banding together against them. For let us not forget that God promised the Israelite people (Genesis 12:3), “I will bless them that bless thee, and curse them that curse thee.”
