Open hatred of Jews surges globally, inflamed by Gaza war - eviltoast
In Los Angeles, a man screaming "kill Jews" attempts to break into a family's home. In London, girls in a playground are told they are "stinking Jews" and should stay off the slide.

    I hear you. Not controversial at all and I pretty much agree where I’m informed. I think this is my issue… there are a million posts about Palestinian genocide where your comments are well suited. This is the rare post about civilians on the other side, millions that aren’t even in the region. That makes this the inappropriate place for your arguments. If you’re not sharing the sentiment on this post to diminish the point of the article, why are you sharing here? FYI for edification, that’s a dog whistle. It may not be your intent, but by pulling the convo away from the victims, there’s inherent implication that the victims don’t matter.

      That’s entirely fair.

      But I disagree that this isn’t the appropriate post for this discussion. A few weeks ago there was a Jewish synagogue leader murdered which made national news (Samantha Woll). She sounds like she was a beautiful soul and her death is a tragedy. Apparently, it was not a hate crime but standard levels of violence in American society.

      I know why the story was national news. It serves a narrative. That narrative is dangerous. I think that narrative is going to lead us to a very dark place. I think this article is part of that narrative.
