"As I noted in my post on the topic foreign-origin is a much better predictor of antisemitism than ideology or age. Mainstream journalism is just profoundly uninteresting and lame consumed by its own pieties. To write an article about the "generational divide" in anti-semitism without discussing the demographics of the various generations is mind boggling.
