Several high-profile incidents are being investigated as hate crimes in New York, where anti-Jewish incidents more than tripled in October compared with last year.

    This is yet another worst part about Israel’s government being stupid bloodthirsty motherfuckers at the moment.

    Sure, you get to feel better about beating on people who had nothing to do with the terrorists other than barely edging them into political power almost 20 years ago (after which Hamas did away with elections so the people who changed their minds afterwards couldn’t do shit to fix it).

    Now, your kin outside your walls are suffering because people conflate them with you, and those people hate you for what appears to be your attempt at genocide.

    Fucking… morons.

    EDIT: Or, these people have always hated you, but hurting people of your religion/ethnic group/whatever is now seen as “okay” because of you.

    I wonder how many of these hate crimes were the result of tearing down the “missing” posters New York Jews are hanging everywhere while completely refusing to acknowledge dead Palestinian children.

      It’s both. Actual antisemitism is probably on the rise, and supporters of Israel are conflating genuine criticism of Israel’s appalling response with antisemitism

        Why downvote both of those are likely true or they would have couched or more specifically like anti semitic attacks.
