Vance told a Republican donor audience that antisemitism in America comes mainly from immigrants importing old ethnic hatreds — a claim that shifts blame away from the American far right.

• Vance pointed at immigration as the main driver of antisemitism, while admitting figures like Nick Fuentes are a real problem.
• He said Fuentes also targets him and his family, an unusual acknowledgment of hostility inside the right's own online base.
• Critics argue the antisemitism panic is inflated by deliberately blurring criticism of Israel with hatred of Jews.
• The room mattered: the Republican Jewish Coalition is a hard-right pro-Israel donor group, not a cross-section of Jewish Americans, most of whom oppose the current Israeli government.

Outlook: Expect Republicans to keep tying antisemitism to immigration heading into the next election cycle, deepening the fight over what counts as criticism of Israel.
