57. Don't worry- Trump will put an end to anti-semitism
Thu Apr 24, 2025, 05:59 PM
Apr 2025

I don't doubt that anti-Semitic shit is on the increase. I am always cautious to not assume that it represents a long-lasting and stable change in aggregate social perceptions about Jewish people rather than a transitory sentiment based on recent events.

I am concerned that protests in favor of the people of Gaza or of Palestinians in general have been characterized as anti-Semitic on their face. I don't know about ADL's methodology and how the separate the wheat from the chaff.

I do recall how the right-wingers characterized BLM protests as violent due to the actions of a few dickheads at the protest. I think the same goes for protests regarding the situation in Gaza and Israel- there are bigoted assholes who get attention by saying hateful shit.

Absolutely right, they count anti-Semitic signs and chants as anti-Semitic incidents, they don't make excuses for them. tritsofme Apr 2025 #6
What is interesting is that poster's failure to see what they actually admitted to. Behind the Aegis Apr 2025 #14

The exact amount of time it takes to see someone do a nazi salute and read the ADL said it was a awkward gesture. Eko Apr 2025 #22
A couple of seconds and a tweet vs over 100 years. Beastly Boy Apr 2025 #25
Do you think their judgement on that was correct? Eko Apr 2025 #27
People change. Eko Apr 2025 #28
They are doing exactly that. AloeVera Apr 2025 #32
According to your opinionated extreme left source Beastly Boy Apr 2025 #53
