In Los Angeles, a man screaming "kill Jews" attempts to break into a family's home. In London, girls in a playground are told they are "stinking Jews" and should stay off the slide. In China, posts likening Jews to parasites, vampires or snakes proliferate on social media, attracting thousands of "likes".

    Way to easy to paint any criticism about Israel as hatred towards Jews. Lobby groups with big money define the limits of the discourse.

        It is also about conflating legitimate antisemitic hatred with anti-Zionist sentiments. look at how EU countries are banning Pro Palestine Protest under the pretext that those protesting are systematically anti-Jews. look at how UK’s Suella Braveman is trying to quash any criticism of Israel actions under the banner of antisemitism and is working on passing lopsided authoritarian laws to imprison any critics of Israel’s genocidal records.

          can you point out where the article is about the things youre saying its about

          saying “anti-Semitism is on the rise” is not equal to saying “anti zionism is anti-semitism”, and recognising that anti-semitism is on the rise says nothing about someones stance on israel, palestine or the genocide going on there

        Yes, but we’re the comments made while they were protesting with regard to these events? We’re they actually anti-semitic, or anti-zionist or anti-Israeli? Those are all different things. Israel would say anyone who expresses the latter two opinions is the former, but that just isn’t the case.

      You just painted any hatred towards Jews as criticism of Israel and blamed rich lobbyists.

      Let’s not make the same mistake, but in reverse.

      Literally saw a comment here the other day saying that Jews think it’s their turn to commit genocide because of the holocaust
