<p>Joy Behar made it clear that she was not impressed with those who were content to remain silent in the face of a dramatic rise in anti-Semitism in the United States, saying that it was incumbent on everyone to speak out against it.</p>
<p>Behar addressed the issue on Tuesday&#8217;s broadcast of &#8220;The View&#8221; on ABC, saying that she was witnessing &#8220;a lot of silence&#8221; despite a massive uptick in anti-Semitic incidents in just the two weeks since Hamas&#8217; brutal attacks against Israeli civilians on October 7.</p>

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Joy Behar points out that a lot of the anti-Israel hatred is really just antisemitism:<br />&quot;[T]hey say that you can be anti-Zionist or anti-Israeli policies that doesn&#39;t make you anti-semitic &#8230; then why do people become anti-Semitic based on whats going on in Israel?&quot; <a href="https://t.co/DIkFjOsYQZ">pic.twitter.com/DIkFjOsYQZ</a></p>

<p>Behar began with what &#8220;they always say&#8221; — namely that it was possible to be critical of Israeli governmental policy without being anti-Semitic — but then she argued that in spite of that, every time something happened involving Israel, the anti-Semitism came flooding back into the discourse.</p>
<p>&#8220;The fact that anti-Semitism is on the rise in this country makes me — I&#8217;m going to ask the panel a question,&#8221; she said. &#8220;When they say that &#8216;you can be anti-Zionist or anti-Israeli policies, that doesn&#8217;t make you anti-Semitic,&#8217; right? They always say that. Then why do people become anti-Semitic based on what&#8217;s going on in Israel? Do you understand my question?&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;I think they were always anti-Semitic,&#8221; co-host Sara Haines replied.</p>
<p>Behar responded then with some statistics, compiled just since the recent terror attack on Israel: &#8220;One hundred and fifty-three anti-Semitic incidents recorded from October 7th to the 18th. And there&#8217;s an increase of 54% from the same period last year.&#8221;</p>
<p>Behar went on to highlight the concerns Jewish parents might be having with regard to sending their children to school amid such a culture, adding, &#8220;It&#8217;s heartbreaking what&#8217;s going on, but people have to speak out against all of that, all bigotry, all anti-semitism. We cannot remain silent. And I think there&#8217;s a lot of silence right now.&#8221;</p>
