“On campus, we’re seeing students either turn a blind eye to the conflict, or we’re seeing those who are openly celebrating our pain, you know, glorifying it, justifying it,” Gritz told The Hill. “They’re casting the murder of Jews and Israelis as progressive, as liberation. It’s just honestly very, very scary as a Jewish student on campus who has friends and family in Israel.”
“It should not be hard to shut down hatred and antisemitism where we see it. That is a core tenet of solidarity,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said in a statement after a rally in New York City in support of Hamas.
“The level of anti-Arab hate and rhetoric hasn’t been this high since the aftermath of 9/11. It is far worse than the Trump years,” Abed Ayoub, the national executive director of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, said on X. “We’ve received many calls for assistance in dealing with threats and intimidation. Schools across the country are vilifying Palestinians, and elected officials are setting up the stage for hate crimes against Arabs.”

Criticizing Israel is not antisemitic.
Assuming all Jews support the government of a genocidal apartheid ethnostate, on the other hand, very much is.
This. When I criticize the Israel government and Palestine government, and mention that I am in support of civilians of Palestine and Israel, I get called anti-semitic. Apparently, hating the government of Israel means you must hate Jews despite you are in support of the civilians side of Israel.
Oh, America’s been laying this groundwork for 30 years. “How to let Zionists Manifest their Destiny, just like we did, and NOT get accused of apartheid!” Difference is, I refuse to bothsides it, considering the brutal, inhuman colonization of my people is a still-living memory for us; and still continues to this day. Occupied Palestine is being settled by a malevolent, murderous movement that claims Judaism as its aegis the same way the Nazis claimed socialism while being straight up fascist.
Genuinely, I despise this existence.
