(Jewish Group) The 'Anti-Anti-Semites' Are On The Rise

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

For the embattled Jews of Europe, it has been the year of the counterpunch.

As far-right, anti-immigrant parties make gains throughout Europe and anti-Semitism spikes in a number of European countries, observers are taking note of a new phenomenon.

“Anti-Semitism is much more visible than it used to be,” said Agnieszka Markiewicz, the American Jewish Committee’s Warsaw-based Central Europe director, “but the group of ‘anti-anti-Semites’ is also becoming larger and more vocal.”

From Gdansk, the large port city on the Baltic Sea in Poland, to Berlin, to gritty Manchester, England, public support for the Jewish community appears to be growing, prompted in part by the latest attacks, both physical and verbal, against Jews, as well as by attacks on Jewish buildings and Israel’s legitimacy.

...I am not Jewish AND I AM APPALLED at the resurgence of rabid anti-semitism worldwide. Didn't we fucking deal with this toxic bullshit 60 years ago? It is time for anti-antisemites and their allies to step up and put an end to this bullshit.
