Intellectually attractive, thought provoking, original, challenging and, essentially, so flawed and misleading that the “we” authors ought to revisit fundamentals of sociological measurements before more of the same inflate the “wes'” embarassement.
As, for example given, increases in violent attacks are accounted for, “adjacent” forms of anti Semitism evolve as increasingly relevant. Violence , as the ultimate manifestation, inhabits intent which is created by sub forms, the ones Ms Taft regards as less significant. Technically effective dissemination through electronic media is chiefly responsible not just for the specific phenomenon we, Jews, are worried about, but, seemingly for some more Earth shaking events.

Jews have never been the subject of systematic violence in Australia. That said, there are a small number of far right groups which seek to incite anti-semitism, but the major voices of hatred and violence in politics, media and religion are directed against Muslims, Africans and Asians.
