The following is the opinion and analysis of the writer:

The antisemitism coming from the top statewide Republican candidates in the 2022 election made for a scary time in our Arizona Jewish community. So, it was a major relief when all four candidates were defeated by candidates not spouting antisemitism.

People are also reading… Recently, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene defended Jack Teixeira, the Pentagon leaker who is on video shooting targets at a shooting range shouting antisemitic and racial slurs. Greene called Teixeira “white, male, Christian, and antiwar” and asked who is “the real enemy” in a tweet.

Of course, Greene, Gosar and Rogers are just echoing the antisemitism from the titular leader of their party Donald Trump. Last November, Trump hosted notorious antisemites Kanye West and Nick Fuentes at Mar-a-Lago. Recently, Trump used the antisemitic George Soros trope to attack D.A. Alvin Bragg for bringing charges against him. Since these things tend to go top down, four other House Republicans jumped on the antisemitic Soros bandwagon at a recent House Judiciary Hearing regarding D.A.
