Ald. Debra Silverstein: Report shows a stunning rise in antisemitism in Chicago. The mayor needs to do better. – Chicago Tribune*

The Chicago Commission on Human Relations, or CCHR, just released its annual report on hate crimes and incidents in Chicago, which showed that anti-Jewish hate crimes rose a stunning 58 percent last year. ... The CCHR hate crimes report indicates that the rise in antisemitism in Chicago is fueled by misguided reactions to the Israel-Hamas war. ... Much of this rhetoric in Chicago has come from the mayor’s progressive allies and at events that the mayor has either praised or supported, such as the college encampments, Chicago Public Schools walkouts and protests that call to 'globalize the intifada.'"

President Trump needs to investigate Mundami immediately (after the Epstein hoax is dealt with, of course).
