Elliot Kaufman, Wall Street Journal opinion writer and editorial board member, discusses the dramatic shifts in Western political discourse on immigration, crime, and antisemitism over the past two decades. He examines how policies that were once mainstream became polarizing, and the role of academic elites, activist groups, and judicial constraints in shaping debates. He also analyzes rising antisemitism across Western democracies, anti-Zionism being institutionalized, and concerning trends on both the political left and right regarding Jewish communities.
