MSNBC’s Chris Hayes ran a surprising segment last night on the violent attacks against those in the orthodox Jewish community in New York and how it’s on the rise this year:
A powerful summary from @chrislhayes regarding the rise of antisemtisim against Orthodox Jews; the little attention it is getting, and how some people in "enlightened circles" make bigoted "comments about Orthodox Jews that they would not dare make against" others. pic.twitter.com/x3YXIZhJ6H

What I found so surprising wasn’t just the fact that he covered a story that the media seems to want to ignore, but his acknowledgement of anti-Semitism coming from liberals who are supposed to be enlightened.
He not only acknowledges it, but suggests it contributes to this kind of violence against Orthodox Jews and suggests that people start contronting it when they hear it.
Obviously I’m not a fan of Chris Hayes and his anti-Trump network, but I will respect the fact that he did something here I’ve heard no other liberals do, and that’s call out anti-Semitism in their own ranks.
