Why are the 7,000 anti-Semitic incidents under Obama largely ignored?

Trump is personally blamed for “unleashing” antisemitism. This feeds a growing narrative about a rise in antisemitism.

There are more than nineteen million results in Google relating to “Trump antisemitism,” including the headline “Report: Trump mulling axing anti-Semitism envoy as part of budget plan,” and “Trump suggests Jewish community is spreading antisemitic threats.”

However, as Mark Oppenheimer at The Washington Post notes, “There is no good statistical evidence that Americans have grown more antisemitic".

Let’s look at Barack Obama’s presidency.

The years 2009-2015, for which we have data, are untainted by the alleged rise in attacks from Trump supporters.

There were 1,211 antisemitic incidents in Obama’s first year in office. This was after four straight years of declining antisemitism. For instance, in 2008, there were 1,352 incidents. Attacks had peaked in 2004 with 1,821.

When we tally the total number of incidents between 2009 and 2015, the overall number of attacks reaches more than 7,000.

However, the number of assaults increased, almost doubling during the Obama administration.

Overall, there was an average of 84 incidents a month under the Obama administration.

Let’s step back for a moment. The media haven’t been telling us there is a slight increase under Trump; the narrative has been that there is an antisemitic wave sweeping the US.

So why are headlines today claiming a “pandemic” of antisemitism in the US?

There were also incidents of vandalism every day on average during Obama's Reign of Error.

Why did 7,034 incidents of antisemitism not get major headlines for so long?

Was it to protect the Obama administration from criticism?

The cesspool from which today’s hate crimes come is not due to the toxic divisions that followed Trump's election in 2016; it has deeper roots.

That’s the elephant in the room: 7,000 incidents that were recorded — and reported by the ADL — which no DEMOCRAT wants to talk about.

Is the partisan DEMOCRAT-infested media misleading us through fear-mongering about antisemitism in the ranks of Trump supporters?

The data seems to show that the recent tragedy, does not represent an increase from years past. Terrible atrocities occurred throughout the last decade, and the liberal media failed to assign blame to Obama or his followers, despite the fact that the former president was chummy with noted antisemite Louis Farrakhan.
