  Disliking the actions of the Israeli government is not the same as hating Jewish people. At some point people just started to agree with anything that wasn’t in favor of the Israeli state as being antisemitism. It is alarming how we’ve turned the actual hatred of Jewish people into an issue that isn’t about people actually hating them for their faith practices.

  The oppressed have become the oppressors. That is not good.

    The Jewish population have become a pawn in the game. No matter what happens they are going to get screwed.

      I am Filipino. A cousin of min, who’s Jewish on his father’s side, decided to have a bat Mitzvah last year. Proud of the kid but I wonder if he has been exposed to actual hate speech behavior that was misdirected at the Jewish people because of the war.

        Not only that but also physical violence.

        It isn’t just Jewish people either. Muslims are also at risk from far right crazies.

    What any sane person should have gotten out of WW2 is that people shoudn’t be stigmatized or worse based on religion, sexual orientation, ethnic roots, opinions and more.

    The fact that the stigmatized religion happens to be Jewish or Orthodox matters not, it’s the process that should instill fear in people: the arbitrarity of the ruler, the denial of science, othering of some convenient minority, all that to distract the public’s attention from real problems. (Inflation and unfair treaties for germany, state racism in the case of israel, deportations and disregard for the rule of law in the US, etc)
