I'm so done with this thread. No one can be this shortsighted, I refuse to believe these posts are made by anything other than bots.
No, because you're changing the discussion. You were making the claim that people aren't calling for the death of all Israelis. I'm saying, they are. Israeli government officials also calling for the death of Palestinians doesn't change the fact that in the US, where I am, people are actively protesting for the death of 7 million Jews, as the above commenter said.
I'm not looking to get into a larger argument about the state of the war; I have my own opinions but I hold them to myself for the moment.
That doesn't invalidate my point that Jews are feeling threatened because people are calling for at best the displacement of, and at worst the death of everyone in the one and only Jewish state - the state where the majority of the worlds Jewish population lives, and most Jews likely have family or connections in. And that's even taking the more charitable assumption that it's not a dogwhistle or precursor to calling for the death of all Jews, as many other protests in the past have.

Once again, observing in disgust is not the same as calling for the death of 7 million Jews. And it shows a lot that when I presented you with that evidence, you didn't say "that's awful, no one should call for the extermination of all the people in a nation", but "yeah, you deserve it". Funny how you get all up in arms about genocide, but ignore calls for genocide against those you don't like.
Edit: oh sorry, I misread, you're not just ignoring it, are you? You're actively AGREEING that Jews should fear people wanting to kill them all.
Thanks for engaging in good faith :) this is why Jews feel so safe and comfortable, knowing that when they raise valid concerns about people calling for their death, everyone immediately jumps to their defense, saying "no one should die!" and not "yeah, you deserve it!"
Also: world Jewish population: 15.7mil, or 0.2% of the world population. Estimated Jews killed in the Holocaust: 5-6mil, about 60% of the world Jewish population. This has happened before and it will happen again: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_antisemitism
