    Hey fun fact. Has anyone actually asked why Anti-Semitism is so sharply on the rise?

    Because a lot of governments and organizations actually define criticism of the government of Israel as Anti-Semitism. So they’re counting every celebrity, every forum post, and every protestor.

      They are most definitely classifying any sort of anti zionism as anti semitism. They are completely different things. The Gazan population are also semites, so it doesn’t even make sense.

      There is definitely the Nazi kind of antisemitism that still exists in little pockets around the world, but the rise of anti semitism that the media is talking about is mostly just people being against Israel’s genocide, and not people condemning Jews as a whole.
