(JEWISH GROUP) What Anti-Semitism in America Looks Like From Israel

[EllieBC]

1. Yes! Israel existing is enough to anger antisemites of both political flavours!

This line really sticks out at me:

Since the only anti-Semitism Israelis understand is one of violence, blood and brutal intimidation, it is hard for many of them to appreciate the panic over a few hundred marchers and the ineloquent condemnation of the president. Since the only remedy for anti-Semitism they know is a Jewish state (and its Jewish army), it is hard for many of them to appreciate fears about anti-Semitism that are not followed by immigration to Israel.

I am in several FB groups that are all Jewish and the response from those who have either made aliyah or were born in Israel has been, "move here" and "guys with tiki torches scare you? My aunt/neighbour/cousin died in a bus/cafe explosion. Really, tell me about how hicks with tiki torches frighten you.".
