No one is ever going to allow a fight for universal liberation to be fought on fair terms. You can get butthurt about it and complain, or you can fight it anyway. It's up to you.
I choose the latter.

candidate 1: i will kill you and your family
candidate 2: i will only kill half of your family, and maybe not you
candidate 3: I won't kill anybody, what the hell, that's so fucked up
Too many of you: Candidate 3 will just take votes from candidate 2, who we must elect to save democracy
when the right say 'crime' they mean 'the presence of groups of people we're bigoted against,' they don't care about the actual stats

There are speech bubbles in the image: - The speech bubble from the older man says, "At your age, I worked 14 hrs a day and never complained..." - The speech bubble from the young boy replies, "Luckily other people DID complain, so stop romanticizing your lack of balls and stupid conformismβ

The mass starvation of Palestinian children is not one of those times. No one *needs* to do genocide, and anyone saying otherwise is lying.

This is based on a false Jerusalem Post report that misrepresented data shared by reputable human rights organizations that cover the abuses of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Over 700 Iranians have been arrested and accused of serving as spies for Israel, not 700 Iranian Jews. This is a common tactic during crackdowns, and often the people arrested have nothing to do with Israel. The Jerusalem Post continues to pick up random tweets, stories from Arab news outlets notorious for laundering lies for their home countries' intelligence agencies, and various bad actors, resulting in the continued spread of fear and misinformation. Jews Fight Back BREAKING β’ @ @JewsFightBack β’ 1h Iran has reportedly ARRESTED over 700 Iranian Jews β and EXECUTED SIX β on bogus charges of "spying for Israel." ...
Once again, the Jerusalem Post is responsible for spreading misinformation.

It is dystopian in the extreme.
Personally as a Jew myself I think the rise in antisemitism is probably related to the country killing people with American weapons under a giant star of David in the colors of a tallit and the antisemitism might get better if they, you know, stopped doing that
