10. "Spiked" is the correct term.

A spike doesn't have to be defined by a fall, it can be, by its very definition, be: a sharp increase in the magnitude or concentration of something., which is what has happened.

A lack of Republican condemnation of the anti-semitism is a big part of why it has not fallen.

This is only partly true, because another factor would be the unwillingness of a variety of people to confront it. Many choose to ignore it or even, diminish it.
