When recently discussing rising antisemitism with a liberal friend of mine, I was shocked when he stated that Jews should support Joe Biden because he and the Democrats stand against all forms of prejudice and are the only true friends of Israel in American government.

I stared at him in disbelief before stating the obvious – that it is the progressive left, working in conjunction with Islamists and terror advocates, which is primarily responsible for the violent antisemitic riots currently sweeping the nation, polluting college campuses, and threatening Jews where they work and live. When he argued that campus violence stems from a small, vocal minority and that conservatives pose a greater threat, I cited reliable surveys, headlines, and law enforcement statistics showing the ridiculousness of his claims.

And Mr. Biden’s speech condemning antisemitism on Yom HaShoah last month did little to assuage American Jewish fears because he conspicuously avoided identifying the instigators of the current wave of anti-Jewish violence, who are predominantly from his party’s progressive and identity-based constituencies.

My friend refused to accept the obvious because many Jews remain loyal Democrats despite the party’s abandonment of Israel. He opined that progressivism must truly reflect Jewish values because so many Jews continue to support liberal candidates, programs, and policies. As a Christian gentile, he certainly does not know what constitutes Jewish values; but then again, neither do secular Jews who enable progressive antisemitism through silence, acquiescence, ignorance, or self-abnegation.

Though quick to denounce Republicans as racists, my friend and his fellow travelers ignore their party’s embrace of anti-Israel and antisemitic zealots. Sure, Biden finally condemned anti-Jewish protests on college campuses, but he failed to mention that the provocateurs are mainly progressives and identity community activists (and that the “protests” are actually riots), because doing so would alienate his party's anti-Israel voting bloc.
