General Discussion

Now you are asking me a completely different question, the answer to which will not amount to a definition of antisemitism.

With that in mind,

I live in an ethnically diverse neighborhood with a large Palestinian population. Until recently, I felt safe here and had no issues with my neighbors, including Palestinians, most of whom I have known for over 15 years.

I am still on very friendly and mutually respectful terms with all of my neighbors, without exception. However, because of significant presence of Palestinians, my neighborhood became a magnet for angry keffiyeh-wearing white radical outsiders loudly expressing antisemitic sentiments and slogans as they march through my streets, including threats of violence towards anyone who may criticize them in any way. There had been violent clashes during their frequent demonstrations, and antisemitic incidents in the subway line coming into the neighborhood. Those incidents were covered by the news media, so there is no way anyone could claim I am making shit up.

Needless to say, these antisemitic incidents make me, along with my Jewish neighbors, feel threatened and unsafe in my own neighborhood.
