You are fortunate to live in a country that’s the world’s friendliest towards Jews after Israel. I’m going to guess that you also don’t usually go around looking obviously Jewish and so have never personally been the victim of antisemitism.

But when someone expresses hatred towards Jews in general, do you not think that includes you? (I can link you to many examples of that on here).

It’s also disingenuous to pretend that Israeli-Arab conflict is not about Jews. The only issue the Arab neighbours have with Israel is that it’s a Jewish state. When people now say “Palestinian” they mean specifically non-Jewish Palestinian.

The banner of the Iran-sponsored Houthis has on it “Death to America, Death to Israel, Curse on the Jews”.

You think that if you come across Hamas members they will care about your position on Zionism?

When pro-Palestinian terrorists seek out victims in Israel or in other countries they often go for the Haredim, even though they are anti-Zionist. Many of the killed and kidnapped on Oct 7 were far left activists who had previously volunteered to help Gazans.

So sure, you can feel comfortable in America now, but your personal experience does not deny the experience of others globally.
