What the fuck is with these comments.
Jewish people outside of Israel (citizens of other countries) are not equal to the Israeli government. They have no say and no control over what the Israeli government does. They are not connected.
Jewish 20 year olds going to college in the USA do not deserve to be attacked for simply…being Jewish (see Tulane University events). And so on.
Attacking Jewish people worldwide for the actions of the Israeli government is pure antisemitism, plain and simple, and needs to be called out and condemned.
People just love to have a reason to hate. Just like when COVID started and Asians were getting attacked all over despite having zero connection to China.
A lot of people just seem to hate jews, and now the masks have come off (again).
Why though? Why is anti-Semitism even a thing?
Religion, plus they were an easy minority to scapegoat historically.
What’s the religious reason people hate them?
They believe in a different version of the magic sky daddy.
But theirs was the original. All of the Abrahamic religions are their religion.
It is varied and complicated throughout history-
Pre-Christian anti-Judaism in Ancient Greece and Rome which was primarily ethnic in nature
Christian antisemitism in antiquity and the Middle Ages which was religious in nature and has extended into modern times
Muslim antisemitism which was—at least in its classical form—nuanced, in that Jews were a protected class
Political, social and economic antisemitism during the Enlightenment and post-Enlightenment Europe which laid the groundwork for racial antisemitism
Racial antisemitism that arose in the 19th century and culminated in Nazism
Contemporary antisemitism which has been labeled by some as the new antisemitism
Christians have some historical antisemitism because the Jews were responsible for crucifying Jesus.
Muslims i have less knowledge, but i know in modern times they hate the founding of Israel among other reasons pertaining to “conflicting sky daddy”
Also for some other context, many practicing Jews kept traditions that made them stand out in the past. Leading to negative (and often false) stereotypes.
Lastly, it doesn’t help that they proclaim themselves God’s chosen people in the eyes of outsiders.

What comments? Are you trying to manufacture outrage again?
You’re conveniently ignoring though that Israel has over the last decades made themselves basically synonymous with Jews worldwide and have been quick to hide their atrocities behind the word “antisemitism”.
I’m not saying it’s okay, but it’s not far-fetched.
Just because the Israeli government tells you this, you abandon critical thinking skills? I get that there may be a casual link here, but damn, people need to actually think.
