What Murray Rothbard expressed many times: There is no problem of anti-semitism in the US. There is a problem of anti-anti-semitism!

The topic of “anti-semitism” has gained increasing prominence again recently with the Israel-US vs Iran war. But as Rothbard has noted, there is no real problem of anti-semitism in the US; the real problem is anti-anti-semitism. See, e.g., “Pat Buchanan and the Menace of Anti-Anti-Semitism.”1

Those ranting about anti-semitism are not really concerned with genuine anti-semitism, anymore than the antifa is really anti-fascist2 or the Southern Poverty Law Center is really aimed at fighting poverty.3
