From @CNNTheStoryIs:
Antisemitism is rising. There's no question about it.
On CNN with Elex Michaelson, J Street President @JeremyBenAmi highlighted one major factor that has contributed to the rise:
"It is directly related to the actions and behavior of the State of Israel… the horrors of Gaza [and] in the West Bank."
As Israel's standing in the world falls, legitimate criticism of its government is being branded as antisemitism, and that is only making the problem worse.
Watch a key clip from the interview here:
