Let me get this straight. Neither you nor the writer are able to show the slightest proof that there is any threat to Jews in America at all. And you use this completely lack of proof of any problem at all as some sort of argument?
That takes some chutzpah. “You can’t prove that this isn’t happening” is hardly convincing, particularly when you go on to:
Nor do we have good, systematic, and comprehensive evidence on the rise of anti-Muslim incidents.

It’s not “incidents”. Have you not opened a newspaper in the last six months? Are you not aware that the new President of the United States has relentlessly pursued an anti-Muslim platform, that he wrote a draconian (and un-Constitutional) executive order banning travellers from many Muslim countries, including for a while permanent residents of the United States, and that he intends to rewrite it so it’s Constitutional and try again?
If the President proposed a ban against travellers coming from Israel, everyone would call it anti-semitic. So when official government policy is one of prejudice against Muslims, why does this somehow not count?
American Muslims have every objective reason to panic. American Jews have no objective reason to worry — or rather, you have presented us with none, only told us that you didn’t find any evidence that there wasn’t a problem.
Your response is exactly like the people who try to shout down #blacklivesmatter with #bluelivesmatter or #alllivesmatter. I strongly suggest that, until you provide the slightest evidence that there is indeed an issue, that you cease and desist.
