We all know why. We all saw those angry looking white people with tiki torches chanting "the Jews will not replace us". But would they have the courage to shine the same spotlight on leftists sling the same antisemitic rhetoric? I think it's a safe bet to say no. They serve a purpose, and passing along the truth is not a part of that.
I also said that it takes place on the far left. I put in a link in one of my posts, showing that it goes across the political spectrums. I also mention that I condemn the far-left Anti-Semites. I thought we were talking about what I said.

Ok fair enough. But I do think the antisemitism issue has been unfairly blamed on the right, while it is largely ignored on the left, only until very recent because it became so oblivious that it could not be hidden any longer. I think when these issues are ignored on one side, than the issue just festers and grows until that side becomes the primary driver of antisemitic hate.


Antisemitic, racism and other society destroying elements must be dealt with and called out equally on both sides if they are to be dealt with at all. Otherwise, they will just fester and grow among the crowd who is allowed to perpetuate hate without consequences. That side will inevitably go on to become the government sanctioned and appointed oppressors, which some will argue is what the left has turned into today.

Do the squad, & pro-Hamas protesters here see American Jews as enemies?

There seems to be a universal hatred of Jews of all kinds. Anti-semitism against all Jews, not just Israeli's.

Can anyone confirm?
Is it the Jews or what’s happening now under Ben Netanyahu? There’s a difference

Absolutely, the Democrat media refuses to call out Muslim Terrorists, and even crazy Azz violent people like child Rapist Joseph Rosenbaum, ANTIFA , and Marxist groups

Islam has taken a big hit since Oct 7. More and more are realizing it just fills people with hate. They hate not just Jews, but free Western society. It was spread through violence and threat of violence, and is not a religion of free thought and interpretation. But...many American Jews are naive and think this has something to do with Netanyahu or a policy decision, when it fact the source is deep Islamic hatred. Many Jews are too bought into the Dem Party, no matter how much it appeases Jew hating Islamists. Ultimately, naivete is a sin when out of fear we use it to pretend people are better than they are, allowing them to cause even more damage.

So Muslims hate Jews and Israel, but they also hate English Common Law, some hate America, even if they've moved here, and they hate independent thinking, which is why there are few civil liberties in most Muslim countries. Islam does not trust people to do the right thing, so they must be told under threat of violence. The West has been too tolerant of this nonsense for too long, but I've sensed a shift away from naively saying this is all ok.

Its a war against judeo/Christianity. Whether or not you believe in God doesn't matter, the spiritual war is real regardless and is happening and in front of everyone's eyes.

Islam is crap. It's completely incompatible with western culture. Sam Harris and others have studied it for years.

Islam is garbage. We need to limit how much of it we import. The people here need to be treated with respect and no ill will. Be aware, that's what we need to do.

I can find no logical explanation for these beliefs, so they cross over into emotion & tradition:

Muslims hate Israeli's...I get this, been true since the dawn of time...deep religious differences, that Muslims cannot set aside to live a civilized life. Muslims cannot separate religion from state, like we do in the Western World.

American Jews are indifferent towards Israeli's...I get this too, I'm German-American, but I'm indifferent to Germany/Germans.

American-Muslims hate Israeli's...so, Muslim hatred knows no boundaries, it crosses continents & seas

American-Muslims hate American-Jews...this is where I get confused.

Is it death to Israel + death to all Jews, no matter if they support Israel or not, no matter where they live, & no matter if they practice Judaism, or not?

This is like the logic that Americans must pay Blacks retribution...even though a White person may be married to a Black person, & the White person's relative 7 generations ago owned slaves, & the White person rejects slavery outright (as most of us do).

When logic breaks down, & other forces take over, I tend to reject those other forces, & side w/ logic. A person's heritage/lineage, doesn't sentence them to death, or to paying retribution.

I see no other way to coexist in a civilized society, & evolve beyond tribalism.
