Recent incidents in Los Angeles and Europe highlight a troubling rise in antisemitism. Protests outside a Jewish day school in Los Angeles, where demonstrators yelled 'Go back to Germany,' have been widely condemned as acts of pure Jew hatred. In Europe, Holocaust memorials in Belgium and Germany have been defaced in the name of 'Palestine,' raising concerns about the conflation of anti-Zionism with antisemitism. Critics argue that such actions demonstrate a broader culture of antisemitism, with calls for stronger government responses, particularly from the Belgium government, to these hate crimes.
βGo back to Germany!β There is nothing "anti-Zionist" about this protest outside a Jewish day school in LA. Just pure antisemitism. https://t.co/6y5NYYIzDv
#Belgium: The Monument to the Righteous in Brussels, a memorial to non-Jews who worked to rescue Jews from the Nazi genocide, was defaced with anti-Israel messages. This was days after a stele dedicated to the Belgian resistance was vandalised. https://t.co/bZfFcEXLgZ
Outrageous! Protesting #Israel in front of a #Jewish school and house of worship is antisemitic and harassment. 1/2 https://t.co/xfdsAKeo2R
Jew hatred and Holocaust distortion running rampant in Belgium, as Holocaust memorials defaced. The Belgium government seemingly unwilling to act. Shame on you Belgium! @BelgiumMFA @BelgiuminIsrael https://t.co/UKH9EOwYWI
If so-called "anti-Zionism" wasn't anti-Jewish, then you wouldn't have protesters outside of a Jewish school/ synagogue. Like you don't see anti-Hamaz protesters outside of mosques. And you certainly wouldn't have people yelling "Go back to Germany" at Jews. https://t.co/AGRwg6sh0A

To not be for Israel is to be against the jewish religion. https://t.co/STZf5JMpOq
When Holocaust Memorials in Belgium, Germany are defaced in the name of "Palestine" you know that Anti-Zionism is Antisemitism. Jews should be able to live safely anywhere but only Israel can provide that safety. https://t.co/uQQ1RLsk2b
Telling Jews to "Go back to Germany" is pure antisemitism. Protesting in front of a Jewish day school is pure antisemitism. Just so you all know the truth. https://t.co/JSnxGa7pBV
Absolute idiots protesting outside a Jewish school in Los Angeles. This isnβt about Israel or Palestine - itβs pure Jew hatred. https://t.co/p6JpiWdEbl
Imagine thinking an antisemitic attack has nothing to do with a wider culture of antisemitism. https://t.co/l1dUzZohgL
