THE WEEK'S BIG 3
A guide to contemporary antisemitism was released this week by ADL and disseminated to political candidates running for national office. At a rally for presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, a white supremacist unfurled a Nazi flag and performed a Nazi salute before being escorted off the premises. And a host on Fox News conjured up an antisemitic trope in his description of Michael Bloomberg as a “puppet master” controlling fellow Democratic candidate Joe Biden.
Read on for more on these headlines, news you can use to fight hate and the latest info about ADL from around the country.
