What I find chilling when the news report a rise in antisemitism is how the news reports it entirely uncritically. We know some of the figures are made up or exaggerated, we know Israel lobbyists are behind the reports, we know that this same tactic was used against #Corbyn when he was #Labour leader, we know the sudden supposed rise in AS completely coincides with the #genocide Israel is committing in #Gaza, we know that other minority groups are far more likely to receive racist attacks but that kind of racism doesn't receive so much media coverage ... We know this AS is being pushed for political reasons, to silence criticism of #Zionism and Israel and to further reduce our civil rights to protect Israel and the Western countries that are actively engaged in the Gaza genocide. We know all this but the folk in the legacy media just read out reports and tell the audience 'Any criticism for this means you too are and antisemite.'
