      The thing is that Israel is currently engaging in genocide, and claims to be doing it in the name of Jews everywhere. The same way anti-Muslim sentiment increased in response to Muslim terrorism, antisemitism rises when people use that religion as a justification for killing people.

      Just to be clear, the current wave of antisemitism is not justified, it’s a bad eye-for-an-eye thought process, but people are stupid and people are outraged with the genocide Israel is doing. It’s the same line of thought as ACAB; if local Jewish communities also condemn genocide, why are they not publicly and harshly denouncing Israel for it?

      In order for this not to happen, Israel would either have to stop claiming to be the representative of Jewish people worldwide, or stop engaging in genocide.

        Except it’s possible to be Jewish without supporting Israel, but not possible to be a cop without supporting the police as a social institution.

      Did you look at the sources for that? The ADL are known propagandists. Also the numbers in France and Germany per population are so statistically insignificant that the number of dead 5 year olds in Gaza since October is 10x the numbers of people who got yelled at for being a Jew.

      The RIAS group said it recorded 994 incidents, which is an average of 29 incidents per day and an increase of 320% compared to the same time period in 2022. The group looked at the time period from Oct. 7 to Nov. 9.

      There are 84 million people in Germany. What a SURGE! Also I would love to know what an incident is. Someone yell something anti-Israel most likely, which I don’t give a flying fuck about. Where are the assaults, murders, rape, genocide, imprisonment, internment, displacement?
