Will antisemitism ever be looked at and dealt with in the same way as Islamophobia is?

Of course many Jews are openly and visibly Jewish. That doesn’t mean that others are not hiding it so thank you so much for dismissing my experience. I missed the part where I called you personally or anyone an antisemite.

No, I'm anti apartheid and colonialism. Maybe my definition of anti Zionism differs from yours, maybe I've read up it's history. I don't believe in there being a chosen people, regardless of creed. Ethno theocracy is wrong on all grounds: Saudi Arabia included.

and @Citruswood I think you are being disingenuous with your use of semite to somehow detract from the racism they suffer; a slightly cleverer effort at "all lives matter". We all know that biblical definition of semite is archaic and the word in common usage refers to Jews.

I applaud you for not giving up ❤️

I'm just to tired to see comments like in this thread, eg people not even covering the basics and not knowing that many Jews are "brown people".

@Workplaceworrier I wish that people would read "Jews don't count". But they would only do it if they were interested to learn. It is so much easier to just hate/be ignorant.

Over the last few years I've unfortunately lost a lot of respect for many around me for this very reason.

@Clardiganexactly. When I give my DCs obviously Muslim names for appointments etc, I dread their reaction. I work in a C of E school and it took me years to reveal my family’s names as I couldn’t trust I wouldn’t get a reaction. This is why I do understand how Jewish people must be feeling. My jewish neighbour has a dc at uni and I do worry about what she might be experiencing, as I had to about my own children when there was a lot of islamic terrorism in Europe. Actually the Southport riots were really scary and I was glad my family was in my dh’s country.

@Citruswood what is your definition of a Zionist? To me, a Zionist is someone who believes in the right of Israel to exist. To be Anti-Zionist is to deny the right of Jews to live in peace in Israel.

Genocide is okay, but Anti-Zionism is not. Islamophobia is okay, but anti fascism is not.
Muslim people are semites, Jewish people are semites.

Anti-semitism IS definitely a thing, but it's not only Jewish people who face it!

Oh please. I know many Jewish people and am no anti-Semite. Most people oppose Netin fu-face and are anti-zionists.

Both have a terrible time.
It shouldn’t be a competition to the bottom.

Appreciate your post OP. It won’t be taken seriously full stop, not compared to any other minority group.
People report how much they hear about it and not other groups, I wonder if they realise there’s only 300 thousand Jews in the Uk and 15-16 million in the world. They don’t realise that many Jews are scared to say who they are, they hide it in many cases. They are having conversations with their reception age children to be careful who they tell at school, to keep it from their teachers. In 2026 in a world where we are supposed to be proud of who we are, David Baddiel is right, Jews don’t count. People are so quick to give their opinion without listening to what Jews are actually saying, can’t think of any other groups this would happen to. And this is not to lessen the discrimination that other minority groups suffer from, all discrimination should be taken seriously.

OP, can please link to some examples of how they are not looked at and dealt with the same?

I'm really interested to learn.

Let's not forget the racist abuse Pakistani and other Asian people get in the UK! How are you not so angry about that? Is it because they're brown skinned? 🤔

This such a tricky thing to comment on because as a non-jewish, non-Muslim person it is not my place to comment on the experiences of those communities. However I do not think much good comes from comparing one against the other, and actually I've not idea what you've got to gain from doing so. If you feel that there's a lot of antimerism at the moment and you support jewish communities who are experiencing that, great. But why bring in Islamophobia? Both are bad surely? We should have less of both, and the fact there might be more of one than the other doesn't make a difference - does it?

I bet you hate this flag 🇵🇸 more than you hate the illiterate paedophile POTUS and his property mogul sons and son in law who are going to be raking in billions in profit from property development on the ruins of Gaza.

Stop trying to take the moral high ground when you don't worry about innocent babies being displaced and their heads and limbs being blown off.

From someone who has no affiliation either way, I hear and see far more media coverage of antisemitism than I do Islamophobia, but I don’t believe it happens any less.

This is a really weird thread.

Neither are ok, but it’s Islamophobia that MPs and wannabe politicians display openly and get away with it.

When there was that story of the young Muslim girl who drowned in Morocco, there was post after post celebrating her death on Facebook.

A lot of Islamophobia goes unreported. The CST encourages anti-semitism to be reported. So figures a skewed.

There are so many examples of which hate is more acceptable in society.

I asked you for some examples because I'm unsure of how they're not being dealt with in the same way.

It's a bit insulting to imply I don't have eyes and ears?

Yes I think a certain kind of person is prejudiced against all difference.

I have seen far right groups say they supported Jewish people when this all started in 2023. Of course they didn’t, and are a threat to Jewish people too. They just happened to hate Muslims more at that point. And will change again. Same hate, different target.
