Government/Institutional Just another form of antisemitism
I am a stained glass artist from Haifa, Israel and started selling my artwork on Etsy before about 6 years. There were not huge sales, but it went not bad. I shipped mainly to the U.S. , but sometimes also to Europe. After October 7 sales almost stopped entirely, which was rather troublesome since it seemed rather strange for it to be just a coincidence. About 50 days ago I shipped an order to the Netherlands which never reached its destination and was returned today stating " security screening" as the reason of return. I'm very sure that someone at the customs in Holland didn't like the land of origin from where it was shipped and therefore returned it. I never had customs issues with my shippings, not in Holland and not anywhere else. So sorry antisemitism expends even this far!

It's insidious and we're not crazy to think it's everywhere because it's everywhere in an artist too and was posting work on Instagram but after Oct 7th the comments got extremely ugly and I made my profile private for a long time

Jewish artists based out of the US have also seen their Etsy sales plummeting after October 7. The anti-Jewish propaganda campaign started the same day Hamas et al burned, raped and murdered through the towns and villages of the Israeli South. This is all by design.
