Rising Antisemitism Sparks GOP Schism as Jewish Republicans Demand Action

Concerns about rising antisemitism among Republicans took center stage over the weekend, transforming a Jewish Republican conference into a rallying cry against anti-Jewish sentiment in the GOP. Although the event coincided with optimism following a Middle East ceasefire, discussions shifted to demand actions against the concerning trend.

The divide became evident following support from a think tank president for Tucker Carlson's controversial podcast featuring far-right activist Nick Fuentes. The hesitance to address anti-Jewish rhetoric prompted widespread calls from the podium at the gathering in Las Vegas to root out antisemitism from the party.

While the conference participants, led by Matthew Brooks of the Republican Jewish Coalition, condemned these viewpoints, the issue highlighted a deeper challenge within the GOP. With figures like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Candace Owens cited as contributors, party leaders stressed the urgent need to combat antisemitism before it grows further.
