Gonna pull my Jew card out, as a non Zionist Jew I feel totally safe. The thing that has worried me most in terms of antisemitism has been the rise of the far right in Europe.
As an American living in America, I don’t feel particularly safe as a tall white middle aged man. Just walking through downtown and looking crosswise at the goon squad that is the HPD, and it gives me the willies. They’re all just looking for an excuse to reenact some grainy video of “How to survive a knife attack” they saw during training. And that’s assuming they’re not drunk or roided up or feeling particularly angry at the world after losing one too many games of Candy Crush.
Maybe after these freaks are done lashing out at me, they might come back around and say I was looking at them too Jewishly. Or maybe my facial hair and slight tan might trigger their “Arab-looking” danger sense. Idfk. All I know is that these guys are constantly looking for fights and aren’t shy about lashing out at the homeless at every chance they get.
There most certainly has been an increase in anti-Semitic expression and actions. There have been assaults of Jewish people outside and Israel and attacks on Synagogues. There have also of course been increases in Islamophobic attacks. This happens every time Israel does this shit. One of its many terrible effects is that by pushing the idea that to criticize Israel is anti-Semitic, and due to the open support of Israel by most large liberal Jewish organizations (which are the most public and influential), and their support of the definition of antisemitism as including criticism of Israel, this leads to many people actually making the inference that antisemitism is correct. In other words it gives cover and justification to anti-Semites.
If you’re in Europe, you are inevitably going to hear a bunch of anti-Semitic shit from every social class and every ethnic and religious group. There have been upticks in attacks on Jews and antisemitic graffiti. It’s probably either far-right white supremacist fascists or its Islamists, but the European governments (e.g. France) are claiming, and the bourgeois media is pushing, that these are also psy-ops from Russia (lmao, these societies are already anti-Semitic, Russia doesn’t need to do anything). In France there have also been a couple Islamists attacks with teachers getting beheaded, though I’m not sure of the teachers background, though often in these cases the reasons given for the attacks are self-evidently anti-Semitic.

Liberals will praise the brave fighters of the Azov battalion in the same sentence as they condemn Arab students for “antisemitism”

Israel’s been pretty damn antisemitic too, I don’t think anyone else has killed more Semitic people in recent memory (other than the US)
