ADL’s Greenblatt: I’m Worried ‘Things Could Really Blow Up in the Streets’ Ahead of the DNC Convention in August

‘There’s still a lot of anxiety out there, a lot of intensity’

EXCERPT:

GREENBLATT: "That's a good question. So, certainly, the students have left campuses for the most part, and yet we’ve continued to see what some activists are describing as 'the summer intifada,' obviously, it makes Jewish people nervous because intifada was a campaign of violence in Israel. We saw the vandalism just last week at the home of the director of the Brooklyn Museum. We’ve seen, you know, ugly protests in front of the Nova Exhibit here in New York and all over the country. So I will say that while campuses have calmed down a little bit because the students are gone, there’s still a lot of anxiety out there, a lot of intensity. And I’m a little bit worried, Jonathan, as we head towards Chicago and towards the summer, that things could really blow up in the streets."
