More Jews live outside of Israel than live Inside. And while Jews do have the right to claim Israeli citizenship if they can prove their heritage, it's become very uncommon as even the children of Holocaust survivors are dying out. Their kids don't feel unsafe in other countries like the previous generations were given reason to.
Shit man, there are even Jews who are against the very existence of Israel for religious reasons.
I mean, only a fucking ignorant racist idiot would believe the bollocks about Israel and the Jewish Religion being the same thing and I apply that to both the the morons passing laws that make demonstrating against the Israeli Genocide be treated as anti-semitism and to the morons attacking Jews because of the actions of Israel.
Mind you, in many places Neoliberalism so normalized "benevolent" racism (the kind that says "people from this ethnic group are good" or that "this nation represents this ethnicity") that it made it easy for many to flip from that into "malevolent" racism (i.e. "people of this ethnicity are bad") when the "representatives" of the ethnicity do evil shit.
This is not to justify the racism morons: I'm just pointing out that when you constantly plow and fertilize the moral ideas field with Prejudice ("people should be judged by their ethnicity"), don't be surprised when it's just as fertile to grow "people of this ethnicity are good and deserve special treatment" ideas as "people of this ethnicity are evil and deserve 'special' treatment" ones.
(Sorry for the blow up: I really detest the slimy manipulative racism of Neoliberalist Modern Politics that adjusted the tribalism, prejudice and racism of the old days into a "fashionable" format to keep using it to manipulate the masses, rather than genuinelly be "liberal" - i.e. all people are the same and should be judged by their own beliefs and actions - in the moral sense)
I don't disagree with you at all that Israel has definitely fanned the flames of antisemitism, but having been on the receiving end from people who even like Israel (many evangelicals Christians want people like me forcibly exiled to Israel so Jesus can come back), it's not just Israel.
People hate Jews for all sorts of reasons. A lot of evangelicals hate me because my ancestors apparently killed Jesus, even though it was the Romans, and that's my fault. People like Elon Musk and his ilk hate me because I apparently control the banks and Hollywood. People like Nick Fuentes hate me because Hitler hated people like me and he loves Hitler. I'm sure some people hate me just because I'm slightly different from them.
And I don't mean to restrict this to just Jews. What I saw happen to my Muslim brothers and sisters after 9/11 was disgusting, and even these days you have people essentially claiming all Muslims are terrorists. And both Jews and Muslims in America are essentially considered foreigners in our own country. I'm from Indiana, but that doesn't matter even though I guarantee you that I have more in common with a Palestinian American born in Montana than either of us have with a Jew in Israel or a Muslim in Palestine.
There is so much hate in this world.
That was the official catholic church doctrine until 1965 as well.
I've found it funny that historically Christians hate Jews so much. They worship one, after all.
That, and- didn't Jesus have to die for everyone's sins?
Shouldn't they be thanking me for my service?
