“It is no coincidence that these antisemitic demonstrations appear 48 hours after the first anniversary of the Hamas attack against the State of Israel, because they express the same terrorist ideas: eliminating the Jewish people,” Victor Garelik said in a statement.

This is the danger of Israel loudly proclaiming the state of Israel and the religion of Judaism is intrinsicly linked for decades and other countries never calling them out.

The only people I see calling them out routinely are Jewish people in other countries, except for pockets of far right extremists they all seem to hate Bibi and what he's doing. They're just suffering the consequences of Israeli propaganda and Israel doesn't give a shit about them.

We need to go back to the time before Israel existed when there was no antisemitism.

Israel has set the Jewish cause back centuries. I might dare say Israel are the biggest allies of antisemites around.

Hi just wanted to let you know that the instance went down last, and it looks like there’s some issues with syncing your submissions while it’s catching up.

Hopefully it gets resolved soon and others can see them.

What’s really striking here is how graffiti like this targets a monument to Simon Bolivar someone who’s celebrated for unifying people and fighting for freedom. It’s like taking a symbol of liberation and using it to spread hate, which feels especially twisted. This kind of vandalism isn’t just about antisemitism; it’s about trying to undermine the values that places like this monument stand for.
