Considering the attacks lately, why the resurgence of anti-Semitism?

They didn't deserve the attacks before. But what happened that people are suddenly finding themselves hating Jews again?

Because of ignorance

It's cool to hate Jews ...
@SW-User why? did someone write a song or make a movie or give a speech? why?

@LILY61 This war with Isreals government and Hamas because lets call it what it is ...I doubt all Jews want this war ...just as much as Palestinians ...I'm sure they have had enough of it .
@SW-User such a waste of human life.

The country is surrounding Israel always hated those whosoever call themselves Israelites. Every since the Israelites, then considered Hebrews, took the land from the Canaanites. They have fought for a few thousand years trying to hold on to that land all the surrounding Nations. They have been occupied, scattered to other lands, lost control, a few times throughout history but they always seem to regain that portion of land. That should say a lot about the prophecies of the Bible concerning Israel and that land.
@SDavis but the hate crimes and political figures putting out menorahs with fire extinguishers and talking about how Jewish people are devil worshippers(?)....and a 13 year old boy planning a murderous attack on a synagogue....that is insanity

@SDavis Israel always acted in a fascist way toward its own neighbors..

@PleasurePunch if you think that's the truth then it's your truth.

As I see it a fundamental point is to distinguish criticism of the actions of the Jewish State from anti-semitism.

@SW-User Really, I say this as I have a great love of the Jewish Faith as expressed by those such as Martin Buber, Lionel Blue and many others. The Hasidic tales are full of deep spiritual insight. The social conscience of the Jewish prophets of the Old Testament makes them always worth reading.

But I am very critical of the Jewish State, at least of its actions towards the Palestinians.

Boils down to ignorance and hate. It's been that way for thousands of years and people today aren't that much different from the people of the past. Any event can be used as an excuse to attack the Jews
@deadgerbil so true...but what was the big catalyst to start off this years nonsense?

Because of what’s going on between Israel and Hamas. It’s being used as an excuse to attack the Jewish community.

I really don't know. Stupidity is the only answer I can find.
@AlchemyFox i don't know why they don't see that they are ending the world. This is literally why the world ends...ignorance, stupidity, intolerance....kaboom!

it's very similar to the Holocaust when the Jew hate went out of control and the Jew haters emerged amongst Europeans.
@lumberjackslam let's hope it doesn't get that bad again
The same reason people hate any group of people they perceive as "different" from themselves…fear and ignorance. 🥺

Antisemitics like the American evangelicals are pro Israel but against Jewish people because they need Israel to exist as a prophecy to usher in their apocalypse. But they hate the Jews as a people. They still blame them for killing "god".
@Renaci yeah but the Jewish people did not kill Jesus
@LILY61 Of course not. My understanding was that Jesus [b]was[/b] Jewish, born into a Jewish family, and he was killed by the Roman government. .
