Well educated Jews and non Jews that I have met and know personally have said this:The U.S. in general has some major issues regarding anti Semitism.1. Yes anti Semitism exists as also anti new groups that come to America are discriminated against when they are new comers and continue even today and in some cases is a permanent prejudice in America!It is wrong but a fact. Ie:Blacks, Muslims,Jews, gays,transgender,Asians, the homeless, drug addicts, the mentally ill- are all victims of prejudice and in some cases permanently- which is wrong.That being said:2.Zionism / the Jewish state under Netanyahu - problematic vs support of your Jewish neighbor little to no issue in 2026. 3.The seemingly lack of desire of Hasidic groups and Extreme Orthodox Jews to assimilate and compromise into the normal American cultural ethos and small to upper population 150,00 population town thought processes. If a town has legitimate objections - land, water use, traffic, number of people occupying a house, school bussing issues and costs or regarding building permits for housing , church building and the large population of Individuals in private religious schools that require school transportation and add to that the requirements of the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA) of 2000- if the town tells the religious community its request is denied,to tone down or limit its requests- the town is sued for anti Semitism and those accusations and fines and court judgements are the result. Compromise is part of the American ethos and is a desired trait of its citizens and government .The Mormons had to give up their religious mandate of polygamy in order for Utah to become a state.The Amish had to negotiate with each state for school recognition and what items for safety on their buggies had to be installed. Christian Scientists have lost in state courts over its care of children using prayer ( the basic tenant of their religion).
