You don’t have to support terrorism to acknowledge what creates and fuels it.
An increase in anti-jewish terrorism is expected after the last year of Israel’s genocide, and these specific events are likely a direct response to it; not random chance.

I agree it’s not surprising there’s been a rise in anti-jewish racism, especially since the Israeli state consistently tries to muddy the waters and conflate itself with jewish people in general (which is fucked).

Conflating all Jewish people with Israel is fucked and is also a key propaganda tactic of Israel.
