Rising Antisemitism

[u/fleshurinal]

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.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by “leftists”? Because I have to push back a bit and say that I have seen very little actual antisemitism by the left spaces I’ve been in. Certainly nothing so dismissive as to say that Jews face no bigotry. But even the specific comments you describe seem more like incidental ignorance than serious hate. I’m also suspecting what you’re seeing comes more from radlibs than any principled Communist, socialist or anarchist. Or maybe they’re trolls. Sometimes I see a baby leftist reposting bigoted grifters like Jackson Hinkle or Candace Owens but I usually give them the benefit of the doubt that it was innocent. I always comment to note that these are not voices to be platformed or trusted, and frankly I see tons of similar pushback in the commentary. What I really don’t see is any truly antisemitic commentary that isn’t immediately countered by those actually on the left.

I’d also point out that for the most part the whole notion of “rampant” antisemitism on the left is a reactionary invention by Zionists (Jewish and Christian) and many other right-wing elements to discredit the left more broadly when certain politicians or activists start to be seen as becoming actually effective. See Jeremy Corbyn for a perfect example. See Ilhan Omar for another. Even Bernie Sanders was accused of antisemitism in his presidential campaign and is accused again now.
