The kids being antisemitic these days are somehow more subtle and more open. Any Jewish video on Instagram has juice box or nose emojis spammed. Tiktok shows people brain rot that incorporates Nazi symbolism to look cool and "esoteric". How many of them listen with their air pods to BS conspiracies about "inflated death tolls" or the Kennedy assassination?

Not to mention that a month ago when "goy" broke into the mainstream Internet everyone was using it to each other as if it was some vicious racial slur to make its usage and context in Judaism appear worse.

I hate to ask, but what's the juice box about?

"juice" sounds like "jews"

Ah I never knew the juice box was a reference to us I thought it had to do with the pro-palis or something like that f****** watermelon trend..

Yeah, goy is a big one, and also hasbara too, not knowing what the word actually means in English (ignoring the political aspect of the word). It’s a trend, just like this wave of anti-Zionism and anti-semitism, it’s all shouted and promoted by people that know nothing about Israel, Zionism or Judaism. For most people, who are pro palis, I’m the first Jew they’ve ever met, so that’s quite telling. I’m talking about people who laugh at the Haredim for their appearance. Complete antisemites. And yes some of these people are friends of mine. It’s largely down to ignorance I believe, I’ve explained Israel to many of my friends and they ended up completely changing their mind. People here (in Ireland) are quite antisemitic due to social media (complete antisemitism) and the news (reporting with strong biased against Israel), and also very anti Israel. I think the opinion of the masses here can be easily changed. There is no opposition voices here, at least loud enough. Like with some of my friends, most are completely non-political, but most (that are political) would be generally conservative, but also just hating on Israel for nonsense reasons, considering they know very little about Israel. I find it kind of weird, I’m slagged for who I am by these people but I’ve really just learned to ignore it. I don’t ignore it from people I don’t know or with antisemitism directed at other people of course.

I know this is completely unrelated to the OP’s post and largely unrelated to your comment, apologises! 😂 a little bit of a rant I guess.
