Considering the magnitude in capacity and scale of lies that zionists convey every day, to themselves, and to the world. As well as how everything and everyone is made out to be an antisemitic person, or has such thoughts.

Does it make you scared to talk to people about real anti-semitic events when it happens to you or someone you know ?

I definitely do feel hesitant at times in certain spaces. I have a lot of Arab friends, and I do a lot of anti-Zionist organising with Arab-Americans. Sometimes it can be quite difficult to discuss antisemitism with them. And I understand all the reasons why it is a difficult conversation. But it’s going to take some time and solidarity building until it becomes an easier conversation

I don't really feel fully trustful of any conversation with non Jews around antisemitism save a few very close people

No, because pro-Palestinian/anti-zionist spaces understand nuance and have empathy for bigotry. I have not face much antisemitism in my life but I have a few experiences where being Jewish meant being othered. When I share them I get nothing but empathy and understanding. I also don't present it like it's the worst oppression/bigotry anyone has ever experienced.
