Your research and analysis is as usual solid but it may be understandably personally influenced by the fact that Orthodox Jews are being beaten up in Brooklyn. I think you underestimate the increasing online Jew blame and hatred from the new right, isolationist, pro Putin etc right. Yes it is just online but they are slowly taking over the Republican party. When Israel and Iran go to war soon and if the US gets involved even minimally, we will see that crowd come into force blaming another war on the "Jews."
Yes and no. I agree that it's more of a problem in the long term, but you need to take in account the fact that:
1) Real violence in the short/mid term is not being addressed and it's more urgent to do so
2) A lot of the dialogue online comes from non-US actors
That's why I don't think it's anywhere near as dramatic as the media, politicians and ljo pretend it to be. As I've said multiple times, it doesn't mean it shouldn't be addressed, but the priority should be the physical safety of Jews right now, not the hypothetical dangers years in the future. We're not at some sort of tipping point where white supremacy is about to engulf America, far from it.
Its time to stop politicizing antisemitism since it has no political affiliation. Jew is endemic across the political spectrum. Unfortunately, American Jews who are overwhelmingly liberals cannot see antisemitism unless it’s from the right. As Mr Eliashiv has alluded to, woke ideology is the current problem and it’s indoctrination to young people on college campuses will lead to an enduring problem. The current ADL leadership under Jonathan Greenblatt is dangerous to the Jewish people. Time for American Jews to wake up and smell the hummus.
The Left has been the Goebbels of this most recent wave of anti-Semitism and Yisrael has made this clear in many of his articles. You obviously do not read liberal college internet newspapers much less the NYT, WaPo, etc. And apparently you do not pay attention to democratic votes surrounding Israel versus republican, or republican sponsored bills versus democratic. Nor to Biden's appointments versus Trumps'.
It was the propaganda that led to the death camps and only a blind, deaf man would not see where today's propaganda comes from. Of course, it goes without saying that Europe's liberals are leading the charge.
Did I say the left wasn't the bigger threat.? Nope. I think they are the biggest threat ..by far. Just saying the new antisemitic right is growing and you guys in your lil out of touch shetls have no idea. you probably missed their recent love fest for their new "conservative" black Hitler Ye .
Sorry for not reading your comment more carefully.
I am not a religious Jew. I never have been. My family - those who survived - came to America via Russia, Lithuania, Hungary and Slovakia. I have never lived among the Orthodox but admire them to no end. I can only dream of being part of a community - yes, a flawed community - like theirs. IMO, they are blessed beyond all measure to have that.
Despite my secularism it is crystal clear to me who the Goebbels is in this most recent rise in anti-Semitism. And I know enough about our history to know that "they" do not care if I am religious or not. And despite this I also know that it is the religious Jews who are Jews. Me? I'm a Jew in name only, but a Jew who understands that it people like Yisrael who carry our religion forward.
A large portion of attacks involve gaslighting. Unproven events cannot be reported. I've had to call upon police a number of times for aid but, for the most part, was unable to report for lack of evidence.
A Rabbi I know, a neighbor of his tried to kill him by driving his car over him. He managed to break his leg. Part of it was on camera, with multiple witnesses. The NYPD cops told him it wasn't worth filing charges because it would be his word against his, it would drag on for years probably, and most likely the guy wouldn't see any prison time because he'd just claim that it was an accident and that he'd be out on bail anyway.
Attempted murder, and the cops are literally telling you not to press charges because it's pointless.
I plan to discuss this in the future, but I think that the order goes: 1) putting pressure on communal organizations 2) if that doesn't work, start new organizations 3) new shomrim organizations if nothing changes.

It's important to tell the truth but what is the plan ahead? A renewed JDL? Legal warfare?
I plan to discuss this in the future, but I think that the order goes: 1) putting pressure on communal organizations 2) if that doesn't work, start new organizations 3) new shomrim organizations if nothing changes.
3 might end up superseding 2 as things degrade.
Respect. You have a plan.
