All I have to do is read any major newspaper or watch any major television program and I'll get a POV other than my own.

I don't know if you are into politics, but there is a guy who is president, Joe Biden, who openly calls himself a Zionist for decades. He has multiple times claimed that if Israel didn't exist, the US would have to invent it. The woman running to replace him, Kamala Harris, has the exact same policies. Her main opponent, Donald Trump, claims Harris does not support Israel enough. RFK Jr., now on the Trump ticket, says the Palestinians are the most coddled minority group in history.

Anti-BDS laws abound in the US. Constitution, smonstitution. No major US, UK or EU newspaper or MSM news channel calls for the end of Israel's apartheid, war crimes or genocide, with some VERY few exceptions by individual guests (never the hosts).

The lies perpetrated by Israel about the war crimes committed by Hamas have been repeated ad nausea. The retractions and corrections only whispered.

From what I have seen 21 Jews have been killed in anti-Semitic acts in the last 5 years in the US.

In about 1 month, 21 black people will be killed by police. Meaning black deaths by POLICE are about 60 times higher than Jewish deaths by anti Semites.

In about 1 month, 40+ women will be murdered by their romantic partner or ex-partner. Meaning female murders due to domestic violence are 120 times higher than Jewish deaths by anti Semites.

So again, Jews are safe in the US. I'm not saying anti-Semitism isn't real, and isn't ever a problem. There are some assholes out there that want to hurt Jews for sick reasons that I just can't understand.

I'm just saying that in the US, the prevalence of anti-Semitic violence is orders of magnitude lower than for other endangered groups. I'm also saying VERY VERY clearly that speaking out against Israel is NOT anti-Semitic. Jew does not equal Israel.

The country of Israel is committing genocide. Speaking out against Israel is not anti-Semitic, any more than calling out Saudi Arabia's barbaric policies against gays is Islamophobic.
