On Think Twice with Jonathan Tobin, Walter Russell Mead emphasizes that surges of antisemitism in the United States are a function of other factors that affect national discourse, such as the economy and mass migration.  He argues that changes in attitudes toward Israel and increasing antisemitism are far deeper and more widely spread on the left right now.
