(3,774 posts)I fear this is blowback to AIPAIC or what ever that lobbying group pushing the hardline and suppressing the Israeli left wing in discussions. Also the strident labeling any criticism as antisemitic basically gave this extremism room to grow with out nuanced debate. This crisis is all big money donor caused and now dirty oil money is pushing this dangerous behavior which will lead to violence.

(54,926 posts)Your comments seem to indicate that you are blaming JEWS for anti-Semitism, which is, in of itself, anti-Semitic. You also falsely claim this rise in anti-Semitism is due to "labeling any criticism as antisemitic" and that is flat out BULLSHIT. What is more likely for the rise, besides anti-Semites feeling emboldened, are claims like yours which is meant to diminish anti-Semitism and to basically indicate any accusation of anti-Semitism is false.
If you were just inarticulate, then explain. If you mean what you wrote, then exit this group post-haste.

(3,774 posts)I was blaming AIPAC and the other lobby groups pushing what I felt was too hard against criticism of the far right settler groups and the far right politicians but I'm out of my depth. But as someone non religious while "Jewish" I will exit a discussion I don't know enough about. Obviously harassing civilians, students and shopkeepers are all very bad and extreme esclation of the dangers the community faces.

(6,366 posts)Anti-Semitism is the only bigotry where the kneejerk reaction is to either marginalize it or dismiss it.
After all, Jews control everything, don't we?

(9,435 posts)I've always been worried about the far-right and its antisemitism. Now, the far left is far more troubling.
For the first time in my life, I want a gun. Maybe guns. So sucks.
