Over 150,000 citizens have left the country in the past two years alone — many of them with a one-way ticket and no plans of returning.

This is also at a time where they must know that many places they are not as welcome as they used to be.
Personally I have no issues with Jews outside Israel, because the vast majority of them are clearly against how Israel is handling things in Gaza. But I know people that have great difficulty making that distinction. Especially among Arabs, they almost universally hate the Jews.
It’s really difficult to check on this, but it wouldn’t surprise me if antisemitism is actually increasing. The thing is that the zionists are screaming from the rooftops that anything anti-Israeli government is antisemitism. They are watering down the term to the point of being meaningless. I can’t imagine where to even start on finding data on real antisemitism at this point. If anyone is aware of a trustworthy source I’m all ears.
I can only say that from what I hear on the news, and what I see here on Lemmy, and what I hear from people I know and meet. The picture is the same, Israel is pretty universally hated for their war crimes in Gaza, and to some degree that carries over to non Israeli Jews. I think most people at least here in Europe are beginning to understand that the terrorist attack on Israel, that made this blow up ,was an act of desperation.
I’m sure lots of people understand that not all Jews are Zionists. However I’m also sure that it doesn’t help that Zionist propaganda is literally conflating the two. Surely some people must be duped by that. Sadly I’m really doubting the existence of independent unbiased sources that measure the actual effect.
Absolutely.
I’m not sure the actual effect of what? Antisemitism? Because I think that polled pr4etty regularly.
This one is about Israel:

This is from UK:
https://www.timesofisrael.com/study-finds-that-one-in-five-british-people-now-holds-antisemitic-views/
I bet that UK piece is reasonably representative of EU too. And the study claims that antisemitism has doubled since 2021!!
Yes, but whose definition of antisemitism are they using and who are they polling. Because the Zionist definition of antisemitism would include anyone who is against the current genocide even if they have no particular opinion on Jews in general. An additional problem is that the Zionist lobbies are really strong in many western countries. Just because something originates in the UK doesn’t make it inherently trustworthy or unbiased

Yes, absolutely uncompromisingly ruthless.
Not so in Australia there was a huge political movement by Israeli Advocacy groups against Australia’s Green Party during the last federal election for thenm speaking up for Paleystibe and being anti genocide.
That would probably make them more unpopular here.
In my experience that’s not the case. But your mileage may vary. And make sure you have your adjectives right. Jew and Israeli are not the same thing. In any case crushing antisemitism outside of Israel is a huge step to defeating Zionism.
I obviously and very specifically was talking about Jews of Israel about those leaving, and not Israelis in general.
The latter part about Arabs hating Jews, that is Jews in general.
I would think the context made that reasonably clear. My comment has nothing to do with any other demographic of Israel.
74% of the Israeli population are Jews.
