A group tracking antisemitism in Germany said Tuesday that it documented a drastic increase of antisemitic incidents in the country in the month after Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7.

The RIAS group said it recorded 994 incidents, which is an average of 29 incidents per day and an increase of 320% compared to the same time period in 2022. The group looked at the time period from Oct. 7 to Nov. 9.

Among the 994 antisemitic incidents, there were three cases of extreme violence, 29 attacks, targeted damage to 72 properties, 32 threats, four mass mailings and 854 cases of offensive behavior.

Many Jews in Germany experienced antisemitic incidents in their everyday lives and even those who weren’t exposed to any antisemitic incidents reported feelings of insecurity and fear, said RIAS, which is an abbreviation in German for the Department for Research and Information on Antisemitism.

u sound reasonable enough, may I ask what in your honest opinion Israel should do instesd in gaza?

It's really damn complicated. There is so much history to this conflict. I honestly don't know what Israel's best move would be.
I just think there has to be a way to have less civilian casualties. People are suffering greatly in Gaza and it somehow needs to stop.
On the other hand I understand that the Israeli government has to react to the Hamas attacks. Hundreds of innocents were slaughtered and Israel is surrounded by enemies. Constantly in danger. They need to make sure nobody else dares to attack.

In a perfect world they would (or rather: could) treat Gaza like the US treated Germany after WWII. But I'm afraid even with massive humanitarian and economic help there would still be terror and violence from Hamas. This conflict is too old and too dogmatic to be solved in a matter of weeks or even years.

Look around in this thread - even people who don't have any personal stakes in the conflict have such radical options about it. I can't imagine what it must feel like to be a Palestinian or Israeli who has lost family members to this.

the most honest and down to earth answer I've seen tbh.

I think most people in this and every other thread on the conflict have no stakes in it, and not enough knowledge on the issue and that's the problem having such strong opinions on it.

Considering how well the temporary ceasefire is going, extending that to permanent would be a great first step. Then maybe begin real negotiations on how to move forward without Israel continuing to control the region and deciding who deserves to live and where. Sure dealing with terrorism is complicated but realizing that you're increasing the recruitment rates with every bombing is pretty basic.

everything u said was already tried and failed.

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 11 points 11 months ago

Let's try it again because it's the right thing to do.

[-] ParsnipWitch@feddit.de 5 points 11 months ago

What is supposed to be done about the rockets shot at Israel and about the terrorist attacks?

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 months ago

Admonish and forgive. If you require a proportional response to every action you'll inevitably exist in a state of perpetual war.

[-] ParsnipWitch@feddit.de 3 points 11 months ago

No, I don't mean those in the past. But those happening right now.

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

That's the thing about hatred and forgiveness, at some point it was always highly personal. Reparations certainly need to be made but Palestine has been starved of money and doesn't have much to give. Isreal will have to forgive some of these most recent ills if the country is going to move forward peacefully.

Adjusted for inflation Palestine had been given 71 billion USD in international aid over the years, so saying "Palestine has been starved of money" is not an understatement but a blatant lie.

If you'd say Palestinian people starved of money I'd probably agree: as their corrupt leaders stole most of those funds, and used the rest to fund and enable terror activities as well as children indoctrination in hatred

- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
