Discussion Rising Antisemitism
I have witnessed so much antisemitism everytime I go online it's starting to become worrying. I see non Jewish leftists say that antisemitism isn't a real problem for Jews in America, usually being boiled down to "most Jews are white, rich, and have never experienced antisemitic violence physically". Yet antisemitism is rising and is a real problem that we should still consider in this time of jewish identity being weaponized and the jewish supremacy that is enacted in Occupied Palestine. Stating "most jews are white" seems harmful and also just false. Also Jews have always been hesitant to be apart of surveys so it's hard to find legitimate info on these things. Am I alone in this?
EDIT: I am not talking about any specific statistics or surveys. This is based on what I've personally seen scrolling on social media. I understand/agree there isn't a clear way to see that based on largely pro zionist orgs. EDIT PT 2: I am not saying that Pro Palestinian sentiment is antisemitism. I am talking about LEGITIMATE antisemitism. This is not a post talking about false accusations of antisemitism based in Zionism.

I think online antisemtism has always been an issue. And in some spaces, worse than others. The majority of antisemtism I experience online is just the simple micro-aggression of "antisemitism doesn't exist anymore because Jews are white" or "only visibly jewish people experience it"
Yesterday was the tree of life shooting anniversary and someone online had the audacity to say "yes I guess when white supremicists can't find a black or brown person or their local mosque, sometimes they settle for other white people"
