Not this shit again. American Jews are not Israeli. American Muslims are not Hamas. We're Americans. We have nothing to do with what's going on over there. Stop making us the targets of your bigotry!

People have held hatred for Jews long before this. I doubt the people putting up swastikas are doing so from bleeding hearts over Palestine.
It's just that now their hatred is perceived as more socially acceptable to be public with given the general "anti-Zionist" attitudes.
For a lot of white supremacists, 'Zionist' has been a code word for 'Jews' for a very long time now. And their hatred for 'Zionists' has a lot more to do with antisemitism than it does with any concerns over territory boundaries.
So they've been rejoicing over everyone suddenly seeming to be in agreement that their hatred is justified, and are now acting out more broadly.
Maybe, in Toronto the pro-Palestine people are the ones attacking Jewish people/businesses
If by "we" you mean Americans, then we certainly do have a lot to do with funding and supplying Israel's genocide machine. I'm not justifying what happened, just pointing out that our leaders are making us complicit in all this shit.
I didn't fund anything. No one asked me whether or not I wanted to fund Israel. But I get shit for it anyway because of who my ancestors are.
What? Nazis have been doing this since their creation. This isn't something that just started because Israel wants to do a "totally not genocide trust me bro".
Honestly I'm glad they're dumb enough to use spray paint on the side of the Holocaust museum...again. It's easy enough to clean and they're not destroying anything.
This happens so often I had to double check it was a new article.
As long as Nazis exist Jewish people will always be the target of their bigotry. So I guess I don't understand where you are coming from.
Antisemites can fuck off and die. We’ve got no room for this Nazi ass bullshit
I fucking hate Nazis
Especially Illinois nazis.
Trump’s America want to be seen now. The light are on, yet the cockroaches won’t scurry.
nazi cunts fuck off
I hope they catch the racist Trump supporters responsible for this.
For what it's worth, and hopefully thats not nothing, my personal expirences with American Jews paints them much more progressive and compassionate than the typical American. I abhor that they get caught up in this nonsense, especially when so many of them even shed off the propaganda around 'birthright' and know exactly what's happening and have to reckon with the fact that a far right state conducts this violence in their name and religion.
Shame on whoever uses current events as cover for stuff like this. Not only is that symbol never okay, but if you're gonna bring any kind of heat to someone, make damn sure it's someone responsible for what you're upset about. This is just lazy and racist.
Israel using the good Jewish name as a shield for their Genocide is the root cause of rising Anti-Semitsm.
Anytime a politician calls criticism of israel Anti-Semitic they should be charged with a hate crime.
Equating anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism is, itself, anti-Semitic
It is fucking mind blowing with these people. Either the Holocaust happened or it didn't. Pick a fucking lane.
America sowing Zionism: Yes…Ha Ha Ha…Yes!
America reaping Neonazism: This fucking sucks…
