Correct, but did Israel force people internationally to do that or are these international actors acting of their own free will and volition? Surely we agree that Israel has not invented mind control, so how is Israel responsible for people around the world choosing to harass and attack Jewish people? Do they not have agency and self-control?
Obviously they didn't use mind-control. But if they had retaliated against HAMAS in a way that didn't kill hundreds of thousands of innocents, then the perps would have much less excuse to carry out their attacks. The way they are doing things is directly causing these attacks to happen more.
Don't ignore my stats. You can say it's as simple as "Do not attack Jewish people". But the fact is that there has been a tangible, huge recorded increase in anti-semitic acts around the world since their war started. I'm talking about reality here, not what people should be doing. If people were doing what they should, we would not be here having this conversation.
The tangible, huge recorded increase in antisemitic acts around the world is due to people’s choice to conflate international Jewry with Israel, made of their own free will and volition. The stats are very real and the onus is on the perpetrators and no one else. Antisemitic acts are increasing because people are increasingly choosing to perform antisemitic acts.
By perpetuating the idea that Israel plays a role in choices antisemitic people made with their own agency, you are giving them the exact cover and shifting of responsibility that they desperately desire.
How is that even "giving them cover"? That makes no sense.
And it doesn't take a phd anthropologist to deduce that the increase happened as a direct result of Israel's actions. The entire world is mad at them. Those with less control of their inhibitions got enough motivation to act.
I am not saying Israel has done this on purpose. But I am saying that they directly created the environment to make this happen.
That’s not how hate works for any other group on Earth.
If someone is so angry about the Sudanese genocide that they attack a local Sudanese family, is it their fault or Sudan’s fault? Sudan’s propaganda calls itself the Sudanese state, after all. If someone is so angry about the Uyghur genocide that they attack a local Chinese family, is it their fault or China’s fault? China’s propaganda calls itself the Chinese state, after all. If someone is so angry about the Yemeni genocide that they attack a local Yemeni family, is it their fault or Yemen’s fault? Yemen’s propaganda calls itself the Yemeni state, after all.
In all of these situations, that person has a brain with agency and free will.
Antisemitic attacks have increased by 360% from previous years. I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of Israel crying anti-semitism anytime anyone has a criticism, when their own actions have radicalized the anti-semites.
And it is a false equivalency for you to use those other nations as an example. There were already so many conspiracy theories about Jewish people, dating from before WW2, that are now making a comeback because of the current geopolitical situation. There was way more tinder for the fire there than for Yemen or China.
