I’m not Jewish, but I had to stop putting on a pin I often wear because it somewhat resembles the star of david. Took it off after being told I was Jewish scum and threatened while out for a walk in town.
I agree that there is a massive effort to categorise any criticism of Israel as antisemitic. And that it is an idea that should be challenged. But that doesn’t mean antisemitism isn’t also actually on the rise.
Just got started on a couple of those articles, I didn’t know this was an actual problem, that really sucks :( I didn’t bother looking into it because of how many news sources paint any criticism of zionism as antisemitic. I should’ve researched this sooner, I’ll read the rest of the stuff that was posted too. Fuck zionists for equating actual antisemitic violence to just being anti zionist or criticizing Israel for so long that people like me can see stuff like that and dismiss it as zionist hyperbole and propaganda
Failing to support genocide isn’t antisemitic in the eyes of sane people… but legitimate antisemitism is on the rise.

You’ve seen this in the last two months? It wasn’t a thing that was already happening? I’d like to see something that backs that up

Are you being willfully ignorant here or do you just not read the news?
