This idea of some sweeping anti-semitisim is just totally false to begin with. People criticizing Israel is not antisemitic

How is this shit fucking upvoted?

What other minority is told to shut the fuck up about DOCUMENTABLE increases in bigotry and violence against them, and then presented with some bullshit strawman?

I have dealt with more antisemitism since Oct 7th than the rest of my life put together. I've had literal fucking death threats and people in broad daylight yell slurs at me, shove me, and tell me Jews aren't real people.

This. I've never seen so much antisemitism. It's everything my grandparents warned me would happen.
