Major antisemitic incidents since Trump's inauguration
3 min read

A fifth wave of antisemitic incidents was unleashed earlier this week in the US, and it hit me where I used to live. A Jewish cemetery in Philadephia was desecrated. I had to check if it was the one where my parents are buried. It wasn’t.

A JCC and a Jewish primary school in Wynnewood in the Philly suburbs, the town adjacent to where I grew up, received bomb threats.

Thankfully, no more than threats.

So far, 100 such incidents across America have been recorded since Donald Trump was inaugurated President, according to the Anti-Defamation League.
