On Monday, I published an article unpacking how anti-Semitism in America is a youth movement. Surveys from nonpartisan, conservative, and liberal sources have found that far from being the benighted bigotry of the old, anti-Jewish prejudice is growing in popularity among the young, which is why it has been on the rise in American politics and culture. "The research collectively suggests that America is becoming more anti-Semitic because its young people are becoming more anti-Semitic," I wrote.

You have TikTok just smashing our young people's brains all day long with video of carnage in Gaza, and this is why so many of us can't have a sane conversation with younger Jews, because anything that we try to say to them, they're hearing it through this wall of carnage. So I want to give data and information and facts and arguments, and they're just seeing in their minds carnage, and I sound obscene.

My students were there. One of them said, We should just punch everybody who is in attendance.' It was a real moment of reflection for me. I thought something has really changed.
