People wrongly conflate Jews the world over with the Israeli government. Antismestism itself is an irrational age old pathological hatred, but recent actions by Israel make bigots justify their hatred easier.

Bibi, Likud, the settlers, and their supporters know this but proceed anyways.

It’s not just the Middle East violence causing this though. Given Epstein’s social circles, this has also likely led to increased antisemitism recently. I’m certainly seeing an uptick in the “jews own the media” trope recently in Reddit and other online communities.
