According to your definition, saying ADL is a liberal propaganda machine is anti-semitic, but calling Israel an apartheid state isn't. I don't know what to tell you. Your definitions are arbitrary and biased, and your views regarding the topic should be irrelevant to any reasonable person.

Or maybe because we have celebrities on the news spreading their hate and being excused by people like you.

- Do you have a source for your claim that most violence against Jewish people is committed by the black community? I tried searching and can’t find anything besides some random people on Twitter saying it.
1a) Even if it were true, what’s your point? Is violence against the jewish community better or worse because black peoples are doing it? Are you somehow justified in attacking jewish people because black peoples are doing it too?
- I don’t really see how that’s “propaganda” unless your saying that glorification of murder DOESNT set a bad precedent. Regardless of whether rittenhouse was legally justified in killing those people, or not, it was still one person killing several others. You can make an argument to justify it but that doesn’t mean we have to GLORIFY it, which is what that quote is saying.

No, because sadly the linked article only gives a number and the ADL hasn't provided a detailed list of all incidents by year so readers could understand the context and validity of their claim.
However, specifically by nutmegganarchist's standards, there have been at least 2 more anti-semitic incidents in this very thread.

He's mollifying hate crimes as "discrimination." Discrimination is not letting certain people in your business, not seeking out people to victimize. There's a difference. Not knowing that difference is ignorance. Plus he's trying to downplay it as a "diversity" problem and not that big a deal per capita. These are common tactics of people like fucker carlson who then slip in more extreme rhetoric over time.

well most violence against jews is coming from the black community but that’s another conversation. as far as the propaganda front?
“Right wing extremists have been praising Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17-year-old who is charged with murdering 2 men at a social justice protest in Kenosha, WI.
Glorification of murder in any form sets a dangerous tone.”

There is a difference between legitimate criticism and spouting off about something being a liberal propaganda machine. Criticizing Israel for acting as an apartheid state is a legitimate criticism but accusing the Jewish community of having a space laser is antisemitism. You can can call things out without using antisemitic terms

Can you show us where the doubling of incidents this year is due to criticism of the ADL then?

Do you have evidence for this claim? What have they said specifically that you take exception to? Or do you just hear “violence against Jewish people is on the rise” and immediately assume that’s bullshit?

Saying anyone is "Soros-backed", or is paid by Soros is an antisemitic dogwhistle, but it's so blatant nowadays it's practically just a whistle.
I wonder who would even use such a term?

Lmao don't be semantic about my usage of 'discrimination', I'm agreeing that unjust treatment of people based on something about them is wrong and you are still trying to paint me as saying something bad. Fuck off.

So why did Hartford own the property to begin with? Was this an old reservoir for the city?

Harassment is not discrimination. Intimidation is not discrimination. Don’t conflate them in an effort to excuse antisemitism.

doesn’t minimize the fact that the ADL is a literal paid liberal propaganda machine

This post is an example of why there have been an 'increase in anti-semitic' incidents.
When you expand the definition of 'antisemitic' to criticism of ADL, then yeah anti-semitic incidents are going up. I also question the ADLs motivations and also the validity of their statistics. I guess that's yet another anti-semitic incident to add to the tally.

The ADL exists solely to find instances of anti-semitism. Don't believe their statistics. Like most special interest groups, right and left, they have an interest in sensationalism.
To believe that there have been more anti-semitic acts in 2022 than in the 1980s nationally (per the article 2022 was the 'worst year' since they began tracking) is comical. People just report them more because if increased overall sensitivity to racism/bigotry/etc.

it borders Farmington & New Britain. It was a park, with a lake for swimming, trails and picnic area.
