"The Urgent and Common Threat That We Face"

"That these two hatreds are linked on the right is clear, and not only in the minds of deranged killers. A recent Pew survey of 15 western European countries found that 'attitudes toward Jews and Muslims are highly correlated with each other. People who express negative opinions about Muslims are more likely than others to also express negative views of Jews.' In the US, a Gallup study in 2010 found people 'who say they feel "a great deal" of prejudice… toward Jews are about 32 times as likely to report feeling "a great deal" of prejudice toward Muslims'. Put simply, the kind of people who hate one of us are more likely to hate the other too."

At The Guardian, Jonathan Freedland and Mehdi Hasan call for Jews and Muslims to unite against white supremacists.
