Is it all really genuine?

The only recent acts of antisemitism (not to be conflated with anti-Zionism) are from fringe neo-nazis (who have always been racist pricks) and a wave of vandalism and arson which, so far, appear to have been done for pay rather than sincere political motivation, with police saying they're looking into foreign actors funding them.

All that to say, I doubt it's genuine. The rest of the things I've seen called antisemitism in the mass media are simply protesting against the Zionist Regime ('Israel'), which disingenuously attempts to conflate itself with all Jewish peoples.
