It is disheartening to see some in the Jewish community overlook the parallels between rumors spread about Haitian immigrants and historical propaganda against Jews. These rumors, promoted by political candidates, have led to bomb threats and evacuations in Springfield, Illinois. The spread of baseless rumors is a stark warning of the dangers of unchecked hate. It is important for the Jewish community to evaluate political candidates' behaviors and values beyond Israel policy and reject hate speech wherever it appears. The events of October 7 serve as a reminder of how quickly historical injustices can resurface.
