Sharply more Americans than 20 years ago say antisemitism is a very serious problem, as Jewish Americans’ reports of poor treatment exceed those of other faith groups.

It seems like the Jewish Americans are just reporting it more.

The number of hate crimes reported to police in the nation’s 10 largest cities rose again in 2023, according to preliminary data released Friday from the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University.

…

New York and Los Angeles saw some of the largest increases in anti-Jewish hate crimes, rising 12.6% and 48% respectively, while Los Angeles and Chicago saw 40% and 300% increases in anti-Muslim hate crimes, according to the study.

This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

That’s a stupid thing to say. I recently had an exchange with him and found out he’s kind of off his rocker, so I wouldn’t sweat it too much if I were you.

A comment on an article about victimization, lol.

You are optimistic. Some people won’t ever notice the lebensraum.

Imagined persecution can have real results, often playing into the hands of the rich & powerful.

You ok? You jumped straight into imagined victim mode. I never said or implied any of the things you’re defending yourself against, and I don’t believe they are true.

I read and generally like your comments, and I don’t think you think that your personal experience invalidates statistics. Are you stressed out or something?

No harm meant.

Are you talking about the “phobia” part of Judeophobia? It’s not about fear, as in “a phobia”. It means negative attitudes, feelings, or actions towards a group, in this case Jews. Like transphobia isn’t a fear of trans people, it’s a dislike (sometimes intense) of trans people.

EDIT: bro did you just read the first word of my comment and then comment back?!

;)

a person who I’m fairly certain was not a Jew themselves, actually declared me not Jewish because I live in the U.S. Which is just another form of antisemitism.

Antisemitism (or, more accurately, ‘Judeophobia’) is being bigoted against someone because they are Jewish. What that person said to you was not antisemitism, it was just stupid.

Overusing and misusing (sometimes intentionally- à la Israel) that accusation dilutes it’s severity and makes people more likely to handwave actual incidents of discrimination and bigotry, which is not good my Squid.

Judeophobia (at least in the UK) is not systemic like racism against blacks is in the U.S.

Jews are more likely to own their homes than the general population (73% versus 64%).

People who identified as Jewish were more likely to report a Level 4 or above qualification as their highest level of qualification compared with the population of England and Wales (50.7% compared with 33.8%).

Overall, people who identified as Jewish on Census 2021 were less likely to live in overcrowded accommodation (6.7%) compared with the England and Wales population (8.4%).

In 2018, median hourly pay was highest among those who identified as Jewish, partly reflecting a greater likelihood among this group to be employed in high-skilled occupations and as managers

That being said, is any group immune from assault? Even individuals squarely in the power majority, like a heterosexual, native, white, male Englishman, are subject to random assault (verbal and physical), destruction of property etc. not as a result of his personal actions. It seems like Jews as a group have it pretty OK but they want the red carpet rolled out for them or something.

Perhaps it’s one of those things that’s actively measured against, leading to increased reporting? I know that Travellers and Chinese (as just two examples) don’t have access to this kind of infrastructure, so reports against bias toward those groups might be under-represented.

To address Judeophobia we must address the elephant in the room- Zionistic Israel using Jews as human shields to protect themselves from any repercussions of their crimes against humanity. Israel supporters increase polarization between Jews and non-Jews, signaling that anyone against the actions of Israel is against Jews as a group, which is a blatant lie.

There are also “boy who cried wolf” incidents which dilute the severity of bigotry against Jews and are not helping our cause, but those are minimal compared to, for example, organizing an “Antisemitism Awareness Rally” which is just a front for Israeli PR so they can continue their genocide against the Palestinians a little bit longer without losing too much public support.

Not to downplay the fact that some people do discriminate against Jews and that is wrong, but this antisemitism hyper-vigilance against the backdrop of Israel’s actions reeks of McCarthyism, especially considering Israeli hasbara.

Israel has since raided other Gaza hospitals on similar allegations, forcing them to shut down or dramatically reduce services even as tens of thousands have been wounded in Israeli strikes or sickened in the harsh conditions of the war.

and

Amnesty International has so far not seen any credible evidence to support Israel’s claim that al- Shifa is housing a military command centre – and indeed Israel has repeatedly failed to produce any evidence to substantiate this claim, which it has promoted since at least the 2008-9 Operation Cast Lead.

You have to be really depraved to want people to suffer without medical treatment.

This is the correct answer.

Indeed, the polls indicate Le Pen’s awkward and aggrieved racist coalition—along with the inventively loony left-wing anti-Israel alliance dubbed the New Popular Front—is positioned to form a government that could defenestrate Macron’s Ensemble! coalition in the 2027 presidential election.

well, the statement is kinda true

No mate it’s totally false:

Buddy just wait till you hear about what happened in Palestine in 1948!

I hope there will be no compensation for miners when the supply’s hard limit has been reached. To remove the profit motive completely would be excellent imo.

Keeponstalin’s comments are always top notch, and I just want to add a bit more info about the exerpt that reads:

A minor incident concerning prayer arrangements near the Wailing Wall, the western wall of the Haram, sparked violence that soon swept through Palestine as a whole in 1929.

The “minor incident” went as follows:

On 15 August 1929, Tisha B’Av, the Revisionist youth leader Jeremiah Halpern and three hundred Revisionist youths from the Battalion of the Defenders of the Language and Betar marched to the Western Wall proclaiming “The Wall is ours”. The protesters raised the Zionist flag and sang the Hatikvah.[13] The demonstration took place in the Muslim Maghribi district in front of the house of the Mufti.

Two days later, in raised tensions caused by a 2000-strong Muslim counter-demonstration after Friday prayers the day before, a Jewish youth, Avraham Mizrahi, was killed and an Arab youth picked at random was stabbed in retaliation.[14] Subsequently, the violence escalated into the 1929 Palestine riots.
