#US / “Antisemitic Attitudes” in the USA in 2024, according to the ADL
From the 1960s until 2014, there was a decline in #antisemitism in the US, according to the #ADL’s index, which examines respondents' agreement with a set of antisemitic statements.
In 2014, about 9% of respondents agreed with 6 or more antisemitic statements, in 2015 the number rose to 10% and in 2019 to 11%. In 2022 there was a significant jump to 20% and in 2024 the number is already close to 24%.
Over 40% of US citizens think that Israelis intend to cause maximal suffering to the Palestinians (impression shared with Israeli Palestinians, see Mohamed Barakeh’s comment https://kolektiva.social/@oatmeal/112026724167982937)
A third of US citizens think Israeli operatives are manipulating US national policy

As the original post already been boosted, I’m adding an alternative text as suggested in the discussion, to make it clear the post is referring to the following:

The Anti-Defamation League's Expanding Definition of Antisemitism Correlates with Increased Israeli Violence in Palestine
A broadened definition of #antisemitism by the Anti-Defamation League (#ADL) correlates with heightened Israeli state violence against Palestinians.
From 2014 to 2024, the ADL documented a rise in antisemitic attitudes among Americans coinciding with Israel's military actions in Gaza causing thousands of Palestinian deaths and injuries.
In July 2014, Israel assaulted Gaza, killing 2,125-2,310 Palestinians, wounding 10,626-10,895, and left over 1,000 children permanently disabled according to a UN report [1]. That same year, the ADL recorded only 9% of Americans professing multiple antisemitic attitudes [2]. But by 2024, this figure had jumped to 24%, as the ADL applied an expanding definition of antisemitism, which includes criticisms of Israeli policy in the occupied territories (including besieged and blockaded #Gaza).
The data suggests a correlation between Israel's use of force in #Palestine and a rise in perceived antisemitism in the US. This correlation calls for Western media to scrutinize the data presented by the ADL Against evolution of the conflict, which reaches new levels of violence with each iteration.
@oatmeal@israel@palestine the thing is, while real antisemitic attitudes in the US is concerning, posting it to the Palestine group is perpetuating the myth that Antisemitism is driving this conflict, when in fact it is a genocide being committed by Netanyahu's far right, Zionist, extremist government. Jews are not inherently Zionists, in fact Zionism enjoys a lot of support from extremely antisemitic sections of the US population.
@oatmeal@israel@palestine Probably a good portion of the people who responded to those questionnaires supporting antisemitic beliefs also support Zionism. A lot of the MAGA croud including Trump himself have both engaged in antisemitic and pro-zionist rhetoric. So ultimately, while I believe the trend in antisemitism in the US is super important to understand, it does way more harm than good to post that here. It feels really dog-whistly to be honest.

"Now, this entire Jewish world, which forms a single profiteering sect, a people of blooksuckers, a single gluttonnous parasite, closely and intimately united not only across national borders but across all differences of political opinion — this Jewish world today stands for the most part at the disposal of Marx and at the same time at the disposal of Rothschild." https://libcom.org/library/bakunin-marx-rothschild
Again, this real antisemitism has no place on this group. You posting it here, especially tagging what I just said means you're a piece of shit that is trying to discredit pro-palestinian causes. Eat shit you racist asshole.
