Antisemitism is surging, and recent events in Israel have only made matters worse. The horrific attack by Hamas terrorists on October 7 has unleashed a wave of fear and danger upon Jews in the United States. It’s a sad reality that we are once again witnessing a time when Jewish people have to be afraid to leave their homes or openly practice their faith.
Neo-Nazi, Anti-Semitism Groups Are On the Rise and Their Message Is All the Same: 'Kill the Jews'

The messages of these antisemites are clear, whether they are marching through the streets chanting “Free Palestine” or proudly displaying swastika flags. Their hatred is directed towards one group – the Jews. In Madison, Wisconsin, a group of Neo-Nazis known as the Blood Tribe took to the streets to spread their vile beliefs. Wearing red shirts and black pants with “Blood Tribe” written on the back, these extremists openly target Jews, people of color, and the LGBTQ+ community.
As if their presence alone wasn’t inexcusable, the hate group also made a stop in front of a local synagogue, chanting “Israel is not our friend” and issuing a chilling warning of violence to come. It’s unconscionable that in the United States, a beacon of freedom and tolerance, such abhorrent behavior is allowed to exist.
Luckily, Wisconsin’s Democratic Governor, Tony Evers, swiftly condemned the Blood Tribe’s actions. He called their behavior “repulsive” and stated unequivocally that they have no place in the state. It’s reassuring to see leaders taking a stand against hate, but it’s concerning that antisemitism is on the rise in the first place.
This incident serves as a stark reminder that we must remain vigilant in combating all forms of hate and intolerance. The Jewish community, like any other, deserves to feel safe and accepted. It’s crucial that we continue to fight against antisemitism and protect the values that make our country great.
