The Surge Of Trump-Fueled Anti-Semitism Is Hitting Jewish Reporters Who Cover Him
When Jewish journalist Julia Ioffe published a lengthy profile of Donald Trump’s wife Melania in April, her computer was reportedly flooded with an avalanche of angry, anti-Semitic tweets in response.
Ioffe began retweeting the attacks to highlight their unsettling intensity, such as photoshopping a Jewish star used by the Nazi regime onto her clothing or digitally inserting her face into an image of a person detained the Auschwitz concentration camp.
She also received death threats by phone and email, prompting Ioffe to solicit the help of the Anti-Defamation League and file a police report alleging that the hateful messages included a “threat to kidnap or injure a person.”
