OP is likely not a troll. Her fear is warranted. As Jerry Seinfeld said after Oct. 7, we were so grateful to be in the US, it could never happen here. But here we are. An undeniable undercurrent of hate, as demonstrated by so many of these comments. You may say it’s Israel you hate, but every synagogue has had a police car outside of it for as long as I can remember - decades, and it didn’t matter who was in power in Israel, left or right, and even after it gave complete autonomy to Palestine in 2005. That said, Europe is much worse. My relatives who lived all their lives in the UK (London and Manchester) have now left for Israel as the anti-semitism has become unbearable.

The synagogues that need police protection are because some of them engage in “The Great Israeli Real Estate Event” where they auction off land that belong to Palestinians. Naturally there are going to be protests. No one here has said anything against the Jewish religion, I’m so proud when I see Jewish people engaged in protests against Israel because they are so brave. They are called fake news or worse by their own people, now that’s antisemitic.

This is incorrect and unhinged. Even cursory research will prove you wrong on the attacks that have happened to synagogues. But I’m so glad that you are “proud” of the good Jews who have the right opinions. And the other ones can just be murdered, I suppose

DP. Why would I care what happens to people who support the genocide of innocent children? If you are openly and proudly in favor of what bibi is doing, you deserve all the hate you get.

We send 80 billion dollars to Israel every year. We do not do that for any other country or people. But please tell me how in THIS country the Jews need to be scared.

The US gives Israel $3.8 Billion each year.

You're hilarious. 3.8 billion is just military aid. Like everything else, you're a liar and a moron.

The Palestinian territories, on the other hand, are the highest per-capita recipients of international aid in the world from the US, Europe, Intl institutions. Tens of billions all to corruption and weapons to destroy Israel rather than to their people. Gaddafi died one of the wealthiest men in the world. Hamas bank accounts in Qatar have billions of dollars.

How does that help the cause against antisemitism in general? Or like do you just automatically assume reporting like this is wrong bc you don't want it to be right? Maybe you need to do some self reflection?

SO glad to see so many people don't agree with OP and are expressing the absolute frustration it is to see people conflate criticism of Israel with antisemitism.

Kristoff's article is actually antisemitic.

He timed his publication the day before the massive Civil Commission report on Hamas' use of s3xual violence in their October 7 attack and with the hostages. You can read about that here: https://www.cnn.com/2026/05/12/middleeast/report-sexual-violence-hamas-oct-7-attacks-intl Timing his piece to preempt this report draws a moral equivalency that minimizes the violence done to Israelis by terrorists whose stated objective is the murder of all Jews. He straight-up states that as the objective in the conclusion of his piece: "Think of it this way: The horrific abuse inflicted on Israeli women on Oct. 7 now happens to Palestinians day after day." That's Kristof saying the quiet part out loud: equivalency in order to minimize Israeli trauma and excuse Hamas' terrorism. There should absolutely be accountability in Israel's prison system, but the abuses parallel issues in the US prison system and most other prison systems around the world; it's a systemic human problem that we all need to do better to address. I hope Bibi and his far-right ministers are voted out in the next election and that some real reforms are implemented in Israel.

85,000 dead Palestinians, most of whom were innocent civilians and children. Sorry, that's an inconvenient truth to you.

It is inherent to the nature of tyrannical regimes that they operate on some kind of leveraged vengeance scheme. Not uncommon for it to be 3-5 orders of magnitude. "Harm 1 of ours and we will harm 10,000 of yours."

The democratically elected Prime Minister of a coalition government is now tyrannical? You might not like him (I know I don’t like ours), but Israel is a democracy with a Knesset of which 20% are Arab Israelis. Hamas, on the other hand, was democratically elected in 2007 on a plain mandate of the destruction of Israel. They proceeded to murder their political opponents of the Palestinian Authority and have held uncontested power for 20 years.

No sane or reasonable person is arguing for Hamas. They are vile monsters.

But I guess people expected better of Israel. And after all the death in recent years, how does anyone conclude Israelis are the good guys?

These are serious things. All the killing in Gaza. Tens of thousands of dead children and women who had nothing to do with anything. The fanatics colonizing the West Bank. Invading Lebanon. Starting a war with Iran, and dragging the US into it.

That should have no bearing on a Jewish kid growing up in America. Like 9/11 shouldn't have had an impact on a Muslim kid growing up in America.

But the thing is if Israel is the Jewish state and they are making these choices, well, Jews everywhere are going to be asked to explain what's up with all this violence and death. Like Muslims had to deal with after 9/11. Why y'all so violent?

Being asked to explain is one thing. Being attacked is another

So if I, as an American Jew with no ties to Israel, loudly state that I am against genocide and hate Netanyahu, you will be against my murder by someone who comes to my synagogue to attack me. But if I do not make this statement, then I’m fair game?

Why would I want any harm to come to an innocent person? I'm not IDF.

I don’t know if you’re the same poster as the one above but that poster specifically said “why would I care what happens to people who support the genocide of innocent children” - so that poster seems uninterested in whether harm comes to a Jew unless the Jew is a good Jew that has condemned Israel. If they haven’t done so, then the poster above doesn’t care what happens to them.

That is not what they said at all. The PP said this in reference to someone who "support[s] the genocide of innocent children. No reference was made to whether they had openly condemned Israel. You made that up to make their reasonable position seem preposterous.

Thank you. That's exactly correct. They twist words and desperately try to make any condemnation of genocide to seem a condemnation of Jews. That is not what I said and it most certainly isn't what I feel. I feel that kind of propaganda and gaslighting particularity exhausting because it's done systemically and intentionally.

You said you don’t care what happens to people who support genocide and Netanyahu. But the OP is a Jew in America saying she feels scared of antisemitism. So if she is attacked in her synagogue, you are OK with it if she had supported genocide. But what does that mean to you? What would she have done that shows that support? And why is it assumed that she would have supported genocide, just because she said she was an American Jew?

Hatred of Israel and zionism is NOT the same as hatred of Jews or anti-Semitism.

Provide your facts, or quit your lies.

Antizionism is a hate movement. Jews feel the hate. That is our lived experience. Are you disputing that is what our lived experience is?

Yes. Not every "lived experience" claim is valid.

That’s right— especially Jewish ones.

Lean into community, have frank discussions with your kids about these and other dark times in Jewish/American history, bear witness and hold the bigots accountable, that’s all you can do, really.

There will always be many more people who are not Zionists than actual Zionists in the world. Zionists are not welcome in many parts of the world now. But continue to wallow in your victim hood - no one cares!

Israelis have free healthcare and free education. While Americans (including many Jewish Americans) go without.

We give them billions, and billions, and billions every single year. If they paid for their own military and arms, they would not be able to give their people free healthcare and free education. Israel is a parasite.

I would much much rather Americans (include Jewish Americans) have access to healthcare and education. But this is anti-semitic? Get out of here, zionazis.
