The American Jewish community has been the target of two-thirds of all religion-based hate crimes in the US, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. However, a recent article from the USA Today news network has contributed to anti-Jewish bigotry by peddling classic antisemitic tropes. The article, which appeared in multiple newspapers across the country, allowed interviewees to unleash unabashed antisemitism without comment or challenge. The article also contained numerous historical inaccuracies and failed to provide the necessary context to understand the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The writer questions whether USA Today wants to export hate, blame, and violence to communities across America.
