When is the right time to acknowledge that injustice radicalises people? Once everyone is blind?
How long do we have to act as though Israel's genocide is not directly causing a sharp increase in "antisemitism" globally?

Fuck the capitalist dictatorships we live in, where corporations are free to pollute and murder without ever facing criminal charges when they poison everything... because they're also free to poison our political, legal, and judicial systems.
Then state it was an accident, due to a "special military operation".
This is what happens every time calculated efforts to dehumanize a population have occurred in history; psychopaths and sadists are enabled to do evil, psychotic shit.
It's insane, but it should be expected. Fascists have been using social media, traditional media, and surveillance capitalism — big data and analytics — to wage psychological warfare for decades. Most of the major players are American corporations, and all of the world's elite/oligarchs are all invested in them; they're all just as anti-democratic, pro-authoritarianism, mentally ill, criminally corrupt, and depraved as each other.
This is the expected result when fascist state media like News Corp are allowed to exist; spewing disinformation 24/7. When a class of ultra-wealthy are allowed to exist, and the multi-tiered "democratic" and "justice" systems they create. When criminals are allowed to operate behind the liability shield of an LLC.
These aren't "laws". They're war crimes committed by a fascist regime.
Okay, so why are attacks targeting Jewish people the wrong time to discuss how dangerous the Israeli states actions are to the global Jewish diaspora?
The Islamic world has not grown anti-jewish over the last century in a vacuum, just like they didn't grow anti-American in a vacuum. The exact same binary "you're either with us or against us" rhetoric has been displayed after every terrorist attack since 9/11. It's never the right time to discuss how our own past and present crimes recruit current and future enemies. They just hate us for our freedoms — who we are and our way of life — and that's the only narrative our ministries of truth deploy.
