[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is hard. There is a weird sense that while antisemitism is a zero tolerance stance, racist harassment and treatment against black people is just tolerated and excused. If anything we blame black people for being too sensitive. No one would say that to a Jewish person [/quote]

That’s very true. So many people experience racism - black Americans, Indians! Asians. Latinos. Etc. - all the tropes and jokes and “you smell” comments. I hear anti Indian and anti black comments all the time because I am not Indian or black and so people think it’s safe to say these things to me.  And yet Jewish Americans - white as day, and let’s admit it- usually well educated, affluent, and able to successfully navigate tough social, academic and professional hierarchies, are acting like THEY are the biggest victims. It’s completely tone deaf. To be sure, anti semitism is rising. [b]It’s almost exclusively on the far right. Yet Jewish maga is trying to pin it on the left,[/b] missing entirely the real story. I’ll get off my soap box. The issue is complex and nuanced. [/quote]

Yes, your soapbox is tiresome, not to mention completely ridiculous.  Especially the bolded.  The biggest (by far) propagation of antisemitism today comes from the far-LEFT. [/quote]
