  • 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.

It seems pretty clear a large percentage of the human race associates the actions of any members within an ethnic group as an action by the entire ethnic group. Not 100% culpable, but maybe 60% to 30% depending on age and gender.

Yeah, people don't seem to realize that culture in Western countries generally is less racist than the global norm (and there is quite a bit of prejudice in Western countries!)

It's the difference of coming from large multi-ethnic empires. Racism is a serious threat to social cohesion and the functioning of the state.

This is why everyone should stop identifying as a part of a community, and instead identify as an individual

But that doesn't solve the problem of others identifying you as part of a community and blaming you for it

[-] aidan@lemmy.world -4 points 1 year ago

It stops you from spreading the culture of that yourself though

It also seems that some people embrace violent solutions and feel every other reaction to a problem is not extreme enough.
