The latest at a US synagogue heightened the sense of alarm Sunday of a rise in anti-Semitism, despite President Donald Trump avowal to overcome ...

Coming exactly six months after aat a Pittsburgh synagogue, Saturday's shooting raised new questions about a nationwide rise in anti-Semitism and in hate crimes generally - and about the president's often controversial response to them.

But the shooting came only days after former US vice president Joe Biden, in announcing his plan to seek the presidency in 2020, highlighted Trump's 2017 remarks about the neo-Nazi march in Charlottesville, Virginia that left a counter-protester dead. And after Biden on Thursday brought up those words in announcing his candidacy, Trump doubled down, saying he had phrased his 2017 remarks"perfectly."

But critics blame him for stoking racial hatreds and division while making remarks, including criticism of Muslims and Latin migrants, that some white nationalists have taken as comforting or confirming their position. Prime Minister Netanyahu condemned the shooting as"atrocious," adding in a statement that"the international community must step up the struggle against anti-Semitism."
