The rise of anti-Semitism

As the faithful celebrate the festival of Hanukkah, hate incidents targeting Jews - involving vandalism, incitements to violence, mass shootings and online attacks - have increased dramatically. Correspondent Rita Braver talks with The New York Times' Jonathan Weisman, whose experience being trolled by anti-Semitic hatemongers online inspired his book, "(((Semitism))): Being Jewish in America in the Age of Trump." Braver also talks with historian Deborah Lipstadt, and with Rabbi Jeffrey Meyers, who witnessed 11 congregants being gunned down at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh earlier this year.

Hanukkah begins as Israel continues offensive

In the past two days, Israeli forces have pushed farther into southern Gaza as reports emerge that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar's home has been surrounded. Meanwhile, as Hanukkah begins, a group of right-wing Israelis is marching through the Muslim Quarter of Jerusalem's Old City to the Western Wall for a candle-lighting ceremony, which Palestinians are calling a provocation. CBS News contributor Robert Berger is following the latest developments in the Israel-Hamas war from Jerusalem.
