Interesting list if names. (Can really see the scopes of it by both Bryan and Darrow being listed. Ba-dum-tish.) It leaves me with a lot of Wikipedia articles to check out.
Curiously, that would be the same Woodrow Wilson that racially segregated the civil service and military. During the 1930s, western progressives were more than a little curious about the early years of the National Socialists as Eugenics among other facets was considered quite trendy. A decade later it was no longer fashionable and since then the (Nazi) brand was somehow deemed "right wing" in polite circles. The Nazi alignment with the Grand Mufti of Palestine seemed more lasting as Jewish accomplishment, exemplified by modern Israel, adds to the 1400 years of unreformed Islamic antipathy towards infidels in general and Jews in particular. The accusations of "Islamophobia" are largely a form of projection from progressives wedded to the nihilism of multiculturalism.
This evil simply will not go away. We who are not Jews simply don't understand sufficiently the affect that this has only not only our Jewish confreres but, also, the effect on us and our children.
This abhorrent way of thinking absolutely must be opposed.
It's probably a lost battle, but I wonder if we can remember that Semites are middle-eastern Jews and Arabs. Wouldn't is be clearer to discuss pro/anti Jews or pro/anti Israel (or its current government)? My guess is that the very word "Jew" once made opponents and even allies uncomfortable, so the more general term was hijacked. Because who cared about Arabs anyway? (sarcasm for the uncomprehending). Lots of the population of Israel is not Semitic. Lots of Jews are not Semitic. Being accurate and specific would be helpful in understanding exactly what people are for or against.
A concern today that wouldn't have been a concern then, is that valid criticism of the Israeli government is being portrayed as anti-semitic. There's groups like CIJA here in Canada that increasingly wield accusations of anti-semitism against the outpouring of concern over the devastation in Gaza. It's to the point where it seems that if you don't "stand with Israel" you'll be painted as anti-semitic if you say anything at all against it. That's very concerning not just to those painted with this broad brush, but to the Jewish diaspora who are seeing actual acts of hate and anti-semitism rising at home. Not to mention that these accusations are often lobbed at protest groups of largely racialized people, which helps fuel the rise in islamophobia we're seeing today. It's all a mess, and it won't quiet down until this "war" ends, and that's largely a decision of Israel's at this point.
I don't doubt that there are people with that malice in their hearts. If this is a comparison of Ford and Elon's latest act it's certainly apt. The subject was vague so I thought it was worth mentioning that in our current discourse there are those who seem keen on watering down what anti-semitism means, not that it's not prevalent and a real problem.

Such a good reminder of the importance of non-Jews to be outspoken allies. Never again is now.
Thank you for this, Sir.

"recorrupt" -- is that a typo? Should it be "are corrupt"?
Right you are. thanks for pointing it out.
My man Robert Frost!

That is true. But it is also true that today, unlike in 1921, criticism of Israel is sometimes used as cover for anti-semitism.
