Is racism against African-Americans on the rise? Is hatred of the Muslims on the rise? Is hatred of a person's skin color on the rise? Why focus on anti-semitism? It's such a small percentage in the world..

It does seem to be...I'd never heard anyone make an anti-semitic comment until about a year ago, before thhe war, even. Why is that? Live and let live, I say.

Unfortunately yes. Though the anti-semites in this case that have stood up in light of the Israeli aggression against Lebanon have to realize that it wasn't the Jewish population doing it, it was the pro-Zionist party in control of Israel. I have pleanty of Jewish friends who disagree with Israel.

No. As a matter of fact, anti-semetism is on a steep decline worldwide.
One way this is clear is the fact that most people are able to separate their opinion of Israel and its zionist fanatics from their opinion of Jewish people in general.
Israel has made it clear that governments which are for one type of people cannot work. Israeli government sees the Lebanese people as less than human, not just Hezbollah, which is deplorable enough. Israeli treatment of the Lebanese people has caused many people, Jew and non-Jew alike to call the zionists and Israeli government terrorists in their own right.
This is clearly not anti-semetism, and indicates a clear defeat of anti-semetism as it is not directed against Jews but against Christian zionists, Israeli government, and any others supporting them.

NO, it is just gaining more attention. By the way voting goes, the UN is anti-Semitic. The media shows it also in their slyly slanted reporting.

In and of itself, probably not. People are put off by the way the Israeli government is prosecuting this war they started though.
They way they are willing to take innocent lives, be it directly or through denial of aid (most aid workers are not allowed safe passage to bring food or anything to the innocents trapped in these cities, and Israel promises to bomb anything that moves on the streets...). If Israel stopped treating non-Israeli life as worthless, then there might be a bit less anger directed at Israel.

No. The argument that anti-semitism is on the rise is a facade... It is an invitation to the Israeli and Jewish pity party...

Either it is or the anti-Semites are coming out of hiding.

Yes & no. yes, u will hear more about it and some folks who were on the fence wiil disagree with Isreal's actions. no, because anti-Jewish sentiment has been dormant for years, it never really went away. However, Anti-Islamic sentiment is rising substantially! What about that?

I don't know if it is on the rise or people are just showing their true colors now.
