Amid reports of increasing Anti-Semitism let me try and explain the problem.
When Russia invades Ukraine there was an increase in racism against Russians. When Israel invades Palestine there is an increase in racism against Israelis. Makes perfect sense. It's not targeting a particular people, just a response to State violence.
So what's this about "anti-semitism"? What have Jews got to do with recent events? I mean there was not an increase in hatred towards Russian Orthodox Christians or ethnic Russians when Russia invades? So why Jews? What have Jews got to do with this, or indeed anything?
The difference between Russia and Israel is that Jews have taken over Israel and made themselves into a Political Movement. This means when Israel does anything it is not just Israelis that come under the spot light, but Jews. Well you can see how this is the problem. Making Israel a Jewish state means that Jews everywhere now suffer for Israel's decisions. Nothing unreasonable or illogical about this. If ethnic Russians were linked to Russia then ethnic Russians would be experiencing racism now for Putins choices. Our previous MP in UK was ethnic Russian but clearly there is no connection between Boris Johnson and and Putin or Russia and no one extended their hatred of Russia to Mr Johnson. But had he been Jewish then he would accept a fundamental connection with Israel and Israeli politics, deeper in fact than their connection to Britain (one very important reason to exclude Jews from representing Britain in politics). Benjamin Netanyahu need remember that what he does does not just have a bearing on Israel but Jews across the planet, because whether Jews like it or not Israel has claimed them.
To solve this Jews need to depoliticise and separate themselves from Israel *. Which is what all other people have done except Muslims in some states. So this is an equal lesson for Muslims too. It wouldn't be quite so bad if the Germanic People hadn't been forced to unlink themselves from the state of Germany. Jews understand perfectly well what they need to do regarding Israel because they enforced the same for Germanic people. So as usual rather than Jews crying out at injustice and persecution (as they have a long history of doing going all the way back to an invented slavery in Egypt), look at the causes and make the changes you need to make to solve it (like everyone else does).
I mean Jews really set themselves up to fail. Imagine all the English Whites reminding everyone all the time they are Anglo-Saxon. I worked with a Jew once who always introduced himself as a Jew. Should I introduce myself and let everyone know ad nauseam that I am Anglo-Saxon. It's going to generate hate, especially when I use it as an axe to grind against the world. Wake up idiot Jews! Own your problem and fix it, you are the "chosen people" you fix it, doesn't always expect the Not-Chosen to bail you out and give you yet another leg up.
Basically the key players in the Jewish community are completely wrong, and are using paranoia and fear to consolidate power. What the world needs to do is not play into these idiot hands with hatred. Jews need help and support to escape the trap of ancient stone-age tribal isolationism and fix it like most of the world has been doing for a long time.

* Now there is this belief that Jews are somehow linked to Israel. This is not true. Many tribes have always lived in the area and Jews are just one of the tribes. The reason for the belief that Jews have a special place in the area goes back to a story in their mythology about an escape from Egypt and a Promise from God that he would give them some land. Now England has an identical story with King Arthur founding the land of Albion for the Celts (what is now England). If people believe that the tribe of Jews "belongs" in Israel then they must also believe that Celts "belong" in England and the politics of England should be run by Celts. I think the general consensus is that King Arthur and King David are myths, and the story of Camelot and Exodus are just stories. No one takes them seriously regarding politics. So we can ignore the ideas that Jews have any special connection with the area over and above any other tribe. This is irrelevant to the Jewish Problem. Indeed the "homeland" for Jews in modern history is more complex. The Jewish Territorial Organisation had a few offers including Uganda from the British (1903) and an self-governing region in Argentina from the Argentines (some time after 1880?). That the organisation split regarding these showed divisions in the actual conceptions of the "homeland." Obviously after the Holocaust in 1945 and the British command of Palestine the conditions were set for Israel to be formed in the rough location of the South Israel Kingdom of 586BC before being destroyed by the Babylonians. If we are to go around the world restoring Kingdoms from the C6th BC the world is going to look very different! Really Israel as a real entity is as long gone as the Greek Empire, Assyrian, Babylonia or even Roman Empire. Imagine Rome claiming authority over England based upon the existence of a Kingdom that collapsed in 400AD. It's all an obvious clear nonsense.
So we can simply ignore all the mythological and archaeological claims for Israel. What happened in 1948 was a British decision that made history by itself, like the Partition of India or the creation of Czechoslovakia in 1918. And as we have seen with Czechoslovakia the splitting into Czechia and Slovakia in 1993 shows these boundaries are not even fixed.
