      When is the right time to acknowledge that injustice radicalises people? Once everyone is blind?

      How long do we have to act as though Israel’s genocide is not directly causing a sharp increase in “antisemitism” globally?

        You’ve been on Lemmy long enough that you should know that this is one of the most discussed topics here. Probably top 3.

          Okay, so why are attacks targeting Jewish people the wrong time to discuss how dangerous the Israeli states actions are to the global Jewish diaspora?

          The Islamic world has not grown anti-jewish over the last century in a vacuum, just like they didn’t grow anti-American in a vacuum. The exact same binary “you’re either with us or against us” rhetoric has been displayed after every terrorist attack since 9/11. It’s never the right time to discuss how our own past and present crimes recruit current and future enemies. They just hate us for our freedoms — who we are and our way of life — and that’s the only narrative our ministries of truth deploy.
