Maybe “Squad” Rep. Jamaal Bowman’s (D-NY) defeat in Tuesday’s primaries signals the high-water mark for the antisemitic protests that have so bedeviled America since the Oct. 7 attack on Israel. The New York congressman had constantly amplified the insane rhetoric that supports fanatics and blames their victims. And he lost — by a lot.

Does his defeat mean the fever is breaking?
