What’s a hotep?

Exactly. I want off social media but because the pandemic I need social media or I'll become more cut off from society.

When it comes to people deciding on hating an entire group of people the reasons behind finding a reason to hate the Jews has always sounded like the farthest reach to me. Not to say that other groups of people deserve hatred. Usually the other forms of racism or xenophobia and other such exclusionary similar things, the person's messed up logic is usually kinda more direct and primal, with anti-semitism it's always a big ol wild story of secret control. Like what?

Finally getting tired of all this culture war bullshit but it is darkly funny that SOHH/4chan arguments are dripping slowly into the real world. Empathy for all the people who never went on forums and now they have to deal with this as adults

You can't really divorce the earlier religious "arguments"you kinda can, and i think the rest of your post admits as much. pre-modern antisemitism is informed by the antisemitism that’s baked into the new testament, 19th century-present ethno-nationalist antisemitism is afraid of a stateless internal enemy whose real allegiance is some sinister, international network of wealth and power. there’s a thread of assimilationist anxiety that’s common to both, but it gets articulated differently

Let me rephrase my point, without debating on how much carry over from one to the other there was* : Antisemitism in its Christian flavor is going on its... 1900th year or so of existence ? I don't think you can elude that in the question of its current prevalence still.i guess my point is that we need to ask the question differently. instead of: how have jews been prejudiced against in europe over time? it should be: how has jewishness/judaism as a category of otherness changed over time (in europe)?

Much like anti-Black sentiment isn’t always manifested by slurs, anti-Semitism doesn’t always come with a lighted marquee. It’s subtle — shrouded in absent-minded stereotyping, unchallenged colloquialisms, tepid rebukes of inflammatory remarks like the ones recently made by DeSean Jackson and Nick Cannon or, even worse, no rebukes at all.
My first brush with anti-Semitism started at home. My family didn’t collect Nazi memorabilia or anything conspicuous like that. Growing up, one of my favorite things to do was visit family members in Chicago. I loved the cookouts, music and trips to the Maxwell Street Market many residents “affectionately” referred to as “Jewtown." One day I asked a family member why it was called that and she said it was because before buying anything we had to first “jew the price down."
For 40 years that conversation has stuck with me. I didn’t have the vocabulary to express or fully understand it back then but I knew enough to feel that there was something fundamentally wrong with the name “Jewtown” and how it was talked about. Despite growing up in the segregated South, I never heard my relatives speak ill of white people and I’m sure no one felt that line of thinking — that shorthand stereotyping — was harmful.
But it was. Still is. And those words coming from a Black person doesn’t change that.
As I said earlier, my family didn’t mean any harm with their stereotypes, they just didn’t know any better. Jackson and to a degree Cannon also voiced a lack of clarity on the issues in their subsequent apologies. ("I feel ashamed of the uninformed and naive place that these words came from," Cannon tweeted Wednesday.) But the ignorance of the offender doesn’t explain away everything about these recent episodes. It doesn’t explain why public chastisement over anti-Semitic comments is fairly muted when compared to the reaction to racists' remarks. It doesn’t explain why some Black people feel that disparaging Jewish people is an essential element to liberation.
Personally, I don’t think forcing a man onto his knees makes me taller.

In November 2018, the global tourism company Airbnb announced it would stop listing properties in settlements, as part of a new policy to bar listings that, among other things, contribute to “existing human suffering.” The day after it announced its decision, Israeli strategic affairs minister Gilad Erdan wrote to the governors of Illinois, New York, Florida, Missouri, and California, encouraging them to take action “in relation to commercial dealings” with Airbnb. After several states took action against Airbnb, it changed course and said it would not remove settlement listings from its platform.
In Texas, a federal district court has already ruled against such a state law, deeming it unconstitutional. The law required government contractors to certify that they did not engage in boycott of Israel and would not do so over the course of their contract. In the present case, Bahia Amawi, a Palestinian-American speech therapist, was required to sign a pledge which stated that she would not “take any action” that was “intended to penalize, inflict economic harm on, or limit commercial relations with Israel.” She was an independent contractor under an annual agreement with the school district in the city of Pflugerville and not a state employee. As someone who had personally chosen to boycott Israeli made goods, Amawi did not renew the contract and subsequently sued, securing the blocking of the enforcement of the legislation.
Who cares.
