    Please tell us about modern-day antisemitism. It would actually be awesome to hear the examples cited in the video existing. Prove me wrong.

    And calling worldwide Jewish exceptionalism both in politics and in society “modern Israeli politics” is pretty fucking crazy, not gonna lie.

      You want a clear example of modern day antisemitism?

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bondi_Beach_shooting

      2025, a father-son duo go to “Chanukah by the sea” at Bondi Beach and shoot into the crowd, killing 15 people. Worst terrorist attack in Australian history.

      The media blames Palestine supporters, but I blame Netanyahu. See, he’s been conflating Judaism and Zionism for years. He had to know he was inciting politically illiterate people who hate Zionism to also hate Judaism. And I think he wanted it. Because attacks like this, to the politically illiterate masses, sap support for Palestine. Governments get more support in policing anti-zionist speech as supposedly antisemitic.

      And it works because there is no denying that 15 people, including a 10 year old girl and an 87 year old holocaust survivor, were shot dead for attending a Jewish holiday. There is no denying that antisemitism happened here.
