The Link between Racism and Anti-Semitism
The attack on Jews in Pittsburgh (Pennsylvania, USA) shows clearly the link between racism and anti-Semitism.
Two hours before he went to murder Jews in the Tree of Life synagogue, the shooter posted the following about the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS), which works worldwide to protect refugees and help them rebuild their lives in their new country: “HIAS likes to bring invaders in that kill our people. I can’t sit by and watch my people get slaughtered. . . . I’m going in.”
This is an example of the link between racism and anti-Semitism. Fear of immigrants and refugees is whipped up [incited]—then Jews are blamed for refugees coming into the country.
