- Global surge in antisemitic incidents following the conflict between Hamas and Israel, affecting Jewish communities in various countries.
- Antisemitic acts range from verbal abuse to physical assaults, often justified by anger over the Gaza conflict.
- In areas like the U.S., Britain, France, Germany, and South Africa, antisemitic incidents have increased several hundred percent compared to the same period last year.
- Official responses vary, with Western authorities generally quick to support Jewish communities, while some countries like China have not taken steps to curtail antisemitic content online.
Media Bias Fact Check (Reuters):
Overall, we rate Reuters Least Biased based on objective reporting and Very High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing of information with minimal bias and a clean fact check record.
The Arab citizens of Israel enjoy equal rights and have representation in the parliament. When you admit that “you are not too deep” into this, maybe you should first educate yourself before you start throwing accusations of nazism in Israel? Start with Wikipedia, read the history.
They do not have equal rights, that is just objectively false. Here’s an example: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israels-knesset-passes-law-barring-palestinian-spouses-2022-03-10/
The Knesset often passes laws that disproportionately affect Arab Israelis in a negative way.
That law is about naturalization of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza, who are not Israeli citizens.
I think we both agree that the West Bank is not the legal territory of Israel, right?
Naturalisation, by definition, involves people who are not Israeli citizens.
It’s about Arab Israelis who are married to a Palestinian, which is the only group of people not allowed to naturalise to, and I quote, “preserve the Jewishness of Israel”. And of course, Arab Israelis happen to be the one group in Israel who marry Palestinians.
It’s a law designed to prevent the Arab Israelis from naturalising their family members, which is a privilege afforded to the Jewish majority. It’s designed to keep the Arab Israelis a minority. And that’s not speculation, it’s literally claimed to be so by the lawmakers who drafted the law.
They have more rights than in any other country in the region.
I don’t think that’s a very high bar
Better than all the alternatives in the region is not good ? I suppose that people who condemn israel would only be ok with them if they had a perfect utopia.
That’s not what “equal rights” means.

Secular equal representation and theocracy are incompatible. There should be no religious states in modernity, of any denomination. Worship how you like in a nation where a a Buddhist, Muslim, Jew, Christian, atheist, Satanist, and Child of Thanos all get an equal vote in the nation they live in.
If your god says it’s cool to kill real people in their name, your god is a malevolent imaginary friend.
Well they sure are trying to concentrate lots of people into sections of the city they can feel free to camp in.
They at least kill their innocents with missiles instead of Zykon
