Jonathan Greenblatt Tells Newsmax: Antisemitism Is Now Considered ‘Normal’

Antisemitic events have been growing, both in the U.S. and worldwide, because antisemitism “has been normalized,” Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt told Newsmax Wednesday.

“We’re living through historic times, and it’s the wrong kind of history,” Greenblatt told “The Record With Greta Van Susteren.”

“Prior to the Hamas massacre in Israel, we saw antisemitic incidents reach an all-time high in this country,” Greenblatt said, adding that the ADL has been tracking the data for almost 45 years and that 2022 was the worst year the organization had ever seen in terms of antisemitic incidents.

“And when you have pro-Hamas demonstrations marching down Main Street, no one should be surprised when Jewish people are being assaulted in New York, in D.C., in Detroit, in Indianapolis, all over the country,” Greenblatt said.

“Antisemitism has been normalized,” Greenblatt continued. “It’s been used by radicals on the left. We see some of them in Congress. It’s become part, it’s like a staple at universities where they spout anti-Zionist hate. And to be clear, Greta, anti-Zionism is antisemitism.”
