    Assuming that this is a sincere post by a real person (which it might very well not be), this is further evidence that zionism is a hugely powerful driver of antisemitism… Israel is essentially working as hard as it can to associate the Star of David to one of the cruelest, most shocking atrocities of the 21st century: there’s a flag flying over a pile of rubble that once used to be a school, and there’s a symbol on that flag.

      The zionist project benefits from increases in antisemitism around the world, because they’ve positioned themselves as the final lifeboat for Jewish people.

        They actively fund antisemitism through campaign/NGO donations towards fascist politicians and businessmen. And in the case of Ukraine, straight up Nazi militias. It shouldn’t be a surprise that the GOP have people screaming about Jewish space lasers while also calling Israel America’s greatest ally, or that the ADL praising Elon for visiting Israel after saying Jews control the world.

      I read a report about antisemitic incidents put out by my country’s Jewish community. Of the incidents described one was old-school Nazi shit, one or two were traditional western antisemitism and everything else was people misdirecting justified anger over the occupation of Palestine towards Jewish individuals and towards Jewish religious institutions.

      The best thing that could happen for Jews would be Palestinian liberation. It would remove the material base for 90% of antisemitism and make them much safer.

      Not only that, but the Israeli govt lies regularly about massacres and casualties to fit it’s narrative. If one doesn’t disassociate Israel from Jews (which the Israeli govt certainly doesn’t) then the conclusion one might draw about Jews is not flattering.
