Has there been an increase in attacks on random Jews? This is a fascist talking point to shut down protests. The rabi at our state college for that one Hasidic organization (the tunnel controversy one) was spouting this nonsense.
Yes there has. It is not just a fascist talking point. However, I know how this goes. I provide examples and they aren’t good enough because there’s never enough examples to prove that there are people out there who might possibly use legitimate anti-Israel sentiment to embolden bigots when I give them.
I found this article, but they define attacks as using antisemetic language, including attacking Zionism. It also states that “attacks” have been on the rise for the past few years. I didn’t believe that the Jewish population is at a higher risk on being injured or killed based on these statistics.
When did I say anything about being injured or killed? If you don’t know how awful it is to be personally attacked by a bigot for just being who you are, congratulations on being privileged.
But like I said, there is pretty much nothing I could possibly say to convince some people that Israel helps foment anti-Jewish sentiment.
There are some people I cannot convince that there is any antisemitism at all, which is its own form of bigotry.
You said they were making life"dangerous." Since when does having your feelings hurt put you in danger? I’ve definitely had my fair share of altercations. I’ve been called the n word, even though I’m white, a homosexual, you name it. In experience people will find anything to take a dig at you to piss you off. It’s just easy to use your religion to make you mad. It doesn’t mean the person is actually antisemetic, they’re just being an asshole.
Again, you must have the privilege of never having been attacked by a bigot. You don’t actually know whether or not they’re going to hurt you after they tell you something like how you killed Jesus. The more bigotry, the more chance of violence.
I can’t believe this needs to be explained to you. It’s like you don’t even know what bigotry is.
It’s no different than calling someone fat, someone with glasses four eyes, a bald man chrome dome, a woman a bitch/cunt , a homosexual a baguette, etc. Criticizing a fascist religion and a country is perfectly fine. I would gladly call a Hasidic/southern Baptist/Mormon/Catholic/Saudi a cousin fucker.
