Antisemitism has ‘become normalised’ on UK campuses, says Union of Jewish Students

Poll of students of all faiths and none found almost a quarter had seen Jews targeted for their religion or ethnicity

@[email protected] It's hard for me to understand "Jewish identity is linked to an illegal and immoral war qualifies as antisemitism!" in practice. As an American e.g. I accept responsibility for us attacking Iran. Is it reasonable e.g. for me to ask American Jews to accept responsibility for Israel attacking Gaza? If not, what should I do?

* I would also note that I'm not entirely convinced it's accurate to characterize these attacks as antisemitic. #Terrorism, yes: Jewish worshippers in synagogues are noncombatants, and unambiguously protected under the Law of Armed Conflict. (I would also argue that these attacks are immoral under ALLAH'S law as well, based on verses such as Qur'an 22:40: "Were it not that Allah repels people by means of others, monasteries, churches, SYNAGOGUES, and mosques—where the name of God is mentioned much—would have been demolished," suggesting that it is THEIR DEFENDERS who are engaged in jihad). But from all the statements I've seen, these attacks are not being motivated by HATRED OF JEWS FOR BEING JEWS (antisemitism), but rather by the fact that a geopolitical entity loudly marketing itself as THE JEWISH STATE™ is slaughtering thousands of civilians in illegal armed aggression against MULTIPLE sovereign nations (Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iran) while the "civilized" world DEFENDS THEM AND SUPPLIES THEM WITH THE WEAPONS FOR IT, as #GenocidesBodyguards. That's not antisemitism; it's collective self-defense.
