In twenty-first century America, antisemitism is on the rise, especially on the extreme left, the radical right, and within political Islamism. Expressions of this oldest hatred are also increasingly prevalent in popular culture, where they are spread by politicians, entertainers and celebrities, the media, social justice activists, and religious leaders, as well as in universities, in schools, on the streets, and even, in some instances, by Jews. Once, Jews regarded the United States as die Goldene Medina-the Golden Land-where they could escape persecution and finally be free. However, this dream has not been realized and major trends are moving in the opposite direction. InPoisoning the Wells, leading scholars analyze contemporary antisemitism in the United States.
