    Yes there has. It is not just a fascist talking point. However, I know how this goes. I provide examples and they aren’t good enough because there’s never enough examples to prove that there are people out there who might possibly use legitimate anti-Israel sentiment to embolden bigots when I give them.

      I found this article, but they define attacks as using antisemetic language, including attacking Zionism. It also states that “attacks” have been on the rise for the past few years. I didn’t believe that the Jewish population is at a higher risk on being injured or killed based on these statistics.

        When did I say anything about being injured or killed? If you don’t know how awful it is to be personally attacked by a bigot for just being who you are, congratulations on being privileged.

        But like I said, there is pretty much nothing I could possibly say to convince some people that Israel helps foment anti-Jewish sentiment.

        There are some people I cannot convince that there is any antisemitism at all, which is its own form of bigotry.
