Curious how that compares to the rise in anti-Muslim hate incidents.
Let me guess, they define antisemitism as anything outside of fully supporting Israel’s genocide?
+1 I guess.
Kinda.
Among examples cited by ADL were alleged physical assault; violent online messages, especially on messaging platform Telegram; and rallies where "ADL found explicit or strong implicit support for Hamas and/or violence against Jews in Israel."
I guess if you're going to count every rally protesting the siege of Gaza as "implicit support for Hamas", the spike would correlate pretty closely with... you know, the siege of Gaza.
But I do not doubt that genuine attacks are also on the rise. This issue is assholes all the way down, honestly.
Agreed. There are no good guys here.
There’s a lot of innocent people involved… they may not be bad guys?
But yeah. None of the belligerents and their supports are good.
An insane stat I came to learn is that majority of population in Gaza is under the age of 18. Lot of innocent seems like an understatement.
Given the shit they're counting as "antisemitism" it's surprising this number isn't higher.
They’re definitely turning into the boy who cried wolf here.
What scares me is that, people are going to stop paying attention and dismissing actual antisemitism and hate crimes.
Yeah I can't even look at that word without asking myself 'well whose definition are you using?' It's alreay a deflated term, too much more and it will mean about as much as the word 'woke' does these days.

Israel is probably more concerned with moving it's ethnic cleansing of Gaza/West Bank forward than protecting Jewish people in the USA.
Hell, the Islraeli government doesn't seem too concerned about protecting Jewish folks in Israel.
It's akin to US politicians passing some draconian/authoritarian law "for the children" and then accusing anyone who speaks against it as someone who hates children, is a predator, or someone who supports child trafficking. Like them uttering their magic phrase suddenly makes any opposition indefensible.
One thing I’ve learned in the last two weeks is just what a dishonest actor the ADL is. They have almost no credibility as far as I’m concerned anymore. What a disservice to Jewish people.
ADL
Aaaaaaaaand disqualified.
Literally anything even kinda not zionist is anti-semitic to those psychopaths.
Gimme a stat that doesn't include any time a college student so much as thought that the nakba was a dick move.
They literally got a Palestinian advocacy group at my uni shut down. Those students were advocating for peaceful protests.
Islamophobia remains unchanged because that stat was maxed out years ago
Oh Jesus I shouldn't laugh but goddamn.
You're right.
Eli Valley made a great comic on the threat of Israel to Judaism. One of the most important Jewish anti-zionists of our time.
