Thin on the right so far

Only 1 of the 27 outlets with a published leaning rating that ran this story are rated right.

This story is still being watched, so it is a count and not yet a finding. Coverage keeps arriving for hours after an event, and a side that has published nothing this morning may publish by tonight. If it is still true when we stop checking, we will say so plainly.

Rabbis in the United States report that their congregations are feeling unsettled by antisemitic threats as the High Holy Days approach. Many Jews feel vulnerable due to rising antisemitism from both political sides, according to Rabbi David Ingber. The Secure Community Network is offering security training to Jewish institutions.

Violent attacks targeting U.S. Jews this year include an August assault at a Manhattan synagogue, a March truck-ramming at a temple in West Bloomfield, Michigan, and a January arson attack on a synagogue in Jackson, Mississippi. Major Jewish organizations have called on Congress to allocate $1 billion to help houses of worship and other nonprofits harden their physical security.

Coverage Disagreements

The Washington Top News full report states that Rabbi David Ingber noted that antisemitic and anti-Israel sentiment from the political right augments deep-seated anti-Zionist views of many on the left, calling it the worst uptick of antisemitism in his lifetime. Digests from other outlets do not contain this specific detail about the sources of antisemitism.

What the coverage left out

None of the right-rated digests mention the specific violent attacks targeting U.S. Jews this year, including an August assault at a Manhattan synagogue, a March truck-ramming at a temple in West Bloomfield, Michigan, and a January arson attack on a synagogue in Jackson, Mississippi. The left-rated and centre-rated digests did not consistently include details about the internal divisions within the Jewish community that were discussed in the Washington Top News full report.
