"UK antisemitic hate incidents hit new high in 2023, says charity"
Even the off-high numbers are staggering.
@hesgen yes, if you include criticism of Israel in the definition of anti-Semitism. Conservatives in the US, Germany and other places adopted the version many Jewish scholars don't necessarily accept.
See discussion here as an example:
@oatmeal @israel @palestine Physically attacking or verbally abusing Jews is antisemitism.
@hesgen possibly, though criticizing Israel killing 30,000 Gazans is not antisemitism
@hesgen the aggression against kids identifiable as Jews is one thing and very likely motivated by hate, or is bullying in the same context.
"University-related antisemitic " and "Online antisemitism" need to be analyzed to see what they're about.
@babks.social recently set up a group on mastodon.social to report antisemitism. Many of the complaints I saw (I stopped following since it was clearly a bullying operation of ADL or SWU) were against people politically objecting the IDF and settlers brutality in the occupied territories and/or Gaza.
Blanket statements like the ones the organization is making in this article, or the ones ADL is making in the US need to be scrutinized more closely by the media, which should also explain what is the #IHARA and why it's controversial.
