New York Sen. Schumer to give major address on rise of antisemitism in US: 'crisis'

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer says he will give a speech on Wednesday addressing the steep rise in antisemitism since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war.

Bradford Betz is a Fox News Digital breaking reporter covering crime, political issues, and much more. 

"As the highest-ranking Jewish elected official, I feel compelled to speak about it," he said. "I’ll be giving a major address on it tomorrow." 

Antisemitism has proliferated across the United States – much like the rest of the world – since Oct. 7, when Hamas-led forces crossed the Israel-Gaza border while residents were sleeping, dragging people into the street, taking some hostages, while beheading and killing others.
