“They cook leaves in water and spices. Even using the water is risky, because there’s no power to run the desalination plants.”

“Solar power is no longer available in Gaza either. Israeli drones have systematically targeted every solar panel on every roof across Gaza. They want people to lose hope and starve,” he continued.

Issa explained that people believe expired canned foods, when made available in Gaza, are making their children sick. This has led some to try to avoid such foods for fear that they would not be able to get treatment for their kids should they fall ill, given that northern Gaza no longer has any health system to speak of.

I'm sure this is why Israel kills all the reporters they can.

Sharply more Americans than 20 years ago say antisemitism is a very serious problem, as Jewish Americans' reports of poor treatment exceed those of other faith groups.

It seems like the Jewish Americans are just reporting it more.

The number of hate crimes reported to police in the nation's 10 largest cities rose again in 2023, according to preliminary data released Friday from the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University.

...

New York and Los Angeles saw some of the largest increases in anti-Jewish hate crimes, rising 12.6% and 48% respectively, while Los Angeles and Chicago saw 40% and 300% increases in anti-Muslim hate crimes, according to the study.

You are optimistic. Some people won't ever notice the lebensraum.

Imagined persecution can have real results, often playing into the hands of the rich & powerful.

You ok? You jumped straight into imagined victim mode. I never said or implied any of the things you're defending yourself against, and I don't believe they are true.

I read and generally like your comments, and I don't think you think that your personal experience invalidates statistics. Are you stressed out or something?

No harm meant.

Are you talking about the "phobia" part of Judeophobia? It's not about fear, as in "a phobia". It means negative attitudes, feelings, or actions towards a group, in this case Jews. Like transphobia isn't a fear of trans people, it's a dislike (sometimes intense) of trans people.

EDIT: bro did you just read the first word of my comment and then comment back?!

a person who I'm fairly certain was not a Jew themselves, actually declared me not Jewish because I live in the U.S. Which is just another form of antisemitism.

Antisemitism (or, more accurately, 'Judeophobia') is being bigoted against someone because they are Jewish. What that person said to you was not antisemitism, it was just stupid.

Overusing and misusing (sometimes intentionally- à la Israel) that accusation dilutes it's severity and makes people more likely to handwave actual incidents of discrimination and bigotry, which is not good my Squid.
