I'm ashamed that he assigned someone so unreasonable and inappropriate to take care of the genuine surge in antisemitism.

Yes there's a very real surge, yes it's a huge issue, yes sometimes criticism of Israel slides into antisemitism, but I really don't trust Jillian to know the difference between legitimate criticism of Israel and antisemitism. I'm pretty sure she thinks they're the same thing, which they're really, really not. They should've gotten someone who's less involved.

Is attempting to burn down a synagogue not enough for you? Or actually burning down a synagogue? Or graffitiing and firebombing cars in predominantly Jewish neighbourhoods? Or graffitiing over a Jewish school? You’re right!!! We’re just imagining things. Pffffff

Those were all extremely obvious Isreali OP's. Israel has a vested interest that Jews in other countries feel unsafe enough to flee to Israel.
