Why do you think anti-semitism is on the rise?...so tired when you have people in this thread peddling racist conspiracy theories about Ashkenazi Jews stealing babies and you guys giving it all the thumbs up without producing a single shred of evidence. You guys defend and downplay October 7th with wild conspiracy theories, and argue that Jews control the government and media, maybe I don't buy your "we are just against mass slaughter" arguments, because sometimes you seem to think it's excusable... like when it's carried out against Israelis. It's just "not particularly palatable", that's all.
Nobody is buying the antisemetism hiding behind a veneer of anti-Zionism. Not all criticism of Israel is antisemitism, not even close. But when people drool at the mouth while peddling every dumb conspiracy theory ever leveled at a group of people, while defending the mass murder of those people, and calling for the destruction of their country, yeah I will probably suspect that there is some antisemitism going on there. Pardon me for thinking so:
589% rise in antisemitic abuse in the UK according to the Community Security Trust.
Huge rise in antisemitic abuse in UK since Hamas attack, says charity
589% increase in number of incidents described as ‘watershed moment for antisemitism in the UK’www.theguardian.com
FBI sees a record high number of antisemitic hate crimes. Jews are 2% of the American population, but account for 15% of the hate crimes and 68% of religious based hate crimes.
...and it's flourishing in Australia too since October 7th.
In silence, anti-Semitism and racism flourishes

Imagine a group of unhinged lunatics peddling every conspiracy theory against Palestinians while calling for the destruction of Palestine, and saying the Palestinian diaspora in the Western world is controlling the media and government. Would I think that person is likely racist? Yes.
