57. Don't worry- Trump will put an end to anti-semitism

I don't doubt that anti-Semitic shit is on the increase. I am always cautious to not assume that it represents a long-lasting and stable change in aggregate social perceptions about Jewish people rather than a transitory sentiment based on recent events.

I am concerned that protests in favor of the people of Gaza or of Palestinians in general have been characterized as anti-Semitic on their face. I don't know about ADL's methodology and how the separate the wheat from the chaff.

I do recall how the right-wingers characterized BLM protests as violent due to the actions of a few dickheads at the protest. I think the same goes for protests regarding the situation in Gaza and Israel- there are bigoted assholes who get attention by saying hateful shit.
