Tom Basile laid it out plainly on America Right Now: the recent surge in antisemitism is not an isolated grievance but a frontal assault on the Judeo-Christian foundations that have held Western civilization together. He argued that certain ideological currents are using attacks on Judaism and Israel as a cudgel to delegitimize faith, tradition, and the moral order that conservatives cherish.
The hard data back up that warning — antisemitic incidents in the United States hit record levels in 2024, with the Anti-Defamation League documenting more than 9,300 assaults, harassment events, and acts of vandalism. This was the fourth straight year of increases and marked an alarming shift: for the first time a majority of incidents were tied to hostility toward Israel or Zionism, showing how foreign policy flashpoints have been weaponized on American soil.
College campuses have become a particularly toxic front, where protests against Israel too often cross into open antisemitism and intimidation. The ADL found an 84 percent spike in campus incidents and a dramatic rise in bomb threats and vandalism, proving campuses are failing to protect Jewish students and allowing radical speech to metastasize into threats of real-world violence. Parents and patriots should be furious that institutions meant to cultivate the next generation are instead incubating hatred.
Make no mistake: this surge didn’t happen in a vacuum. Social media platforms, activist networks, and portions of the mainstream left have normalized anti-Israel rhetoric that easily slips into classic antisemitic tropes, and that normalization fuels political violence and emboldens lone actors. The consequence is not just a spike in ugly words but a measurable increase in targeted attacks and a broader permissiveness toward demonizing an entire people.
Federal data reinforce the seriousness of the threat: hate crimes targeting Jews climbed to record highs in recent reporting, accounting for a disproportionate share of religion-based violence in America. Law-and-order matters here — prosecutors, campus leaders, and elected officials must enforce existing laws, take threats seriously, and stop treating antisemitism as an abstract debate rather than the public-safety crisis it has become.
Conservatives who love their country must respond with clarity and conviction: defend our Jewish neighbors, stand with Israel, demand accountability from universities and tech platforms, and revive education that teaches history and moral restraint. Tom Basile and outlets like Newsmax are sounding the alarm because silence would be complicity; now is the moment for patriots to mobilize, protect our shared heritage, and ensure the Judeo-Christian bedrock of America remains unshaken.
