Report: Global Anti-Semism More Common and More Violent
Up 50 percent, and qualitatively more violent:
You know who we feel for? The poor, downtrodden anti-Zionists who are being persecuted all over Western Europe for their brave and lonely stand against Israel. Like Tony Greenstein of the self-hating Jews Against Zionist - if only they had a little more popular support, they would be able to fight back against the suffocating pro-Israel censorship in Europe and get their message out to the world. Seriously, our hearts just bleed for them.
Exit preempt: we're not calling him a self-hating Jew because he opposes Israel. We're calling him a self-hating Jew because he supports people and campaigns that lead to actual violence against Jews. Also see Meryl's post on what these statistics say about anti-Semitism vs. Islamophobia.
