Antisemitic incidents hit a record high in 2021. What’s behind the rise in hate?

The Anti-Defamation League, which tracks anti-Semitic behavior nationwide, found 2,717 incidents in 2021. That's a 34 percent rise from the year before and averages out to more than seven anti-Semitic incidents per day. Jonathan Greenblatt is the CEO of the Anti-Defamation League and author of the recent book "It Could Happen Here." He joins William Brangham to discuss the record-high occurrences.
