    There are orthodox jews worldwide that speak out loudly against the actions of Israel. I wonder if these jews could get jailed for antisemitism. I’m sure it’s already possible in the UK.

      I wonder if those Orthodox Jews are ever the victims of bigotry because people just assume they are for all of Israel’s actions.

        Not just bigotry, they are also getting killed: Antisemitic Attacks in 2025 Caused Highest Number of Deaths in 30 Years, Study Finds.

        Last year saw the highest level of deadly violence against Jews around the world in over three decades, with 20 people killed …

        … a spike that began following the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023, attack and Israel’s subsequent war in Gaza …

        Almost all of this increased “antisemitism” comes from hate towards Israel.

        I wonder how anti semitism is a different kind of bigotry than other bigotries, why do you need special law for this
