MODERATORS
 
  • Global surge in antisemitic incidents following the conflict between Hamas and Israel, affecting Jewish communities in various countries.
  • Antisemitic acts range from verbal abuse to physical assaults, often justified by anger over the Gaza conflict.
  • In areas like the U.S., Britain, France, Germany, and South Africa, antisemitic incidents have increased several hundred percent compared to the same period last year.
  • Official responses vary, with Western authorities generally quick to support Jewish communities, while some countries like China have not taken steps to curtail antisemitic content online.

My experience is that the hate is for the ethnic group, not necessarily the religion.

To the people downvoting you: Do you think islamophobes distinguish between Arab Muslims or Arab Atheists when they provoke a scene? Or that antisemites distinguish between practicing Jews and non-believing Jews (who stay in the community for various reasons)?

Ethnicity and religion is intertwined in this case though, in a way that is quite unique. And which is probably significantly influenced by the way Jewish people were treated.
