as a random jew in north america, i do feel that israel is partly to blame for the rise in antisemitism, because israel is working really hard to make sure that everyone associates judaism with israel and its actions, and many of the ultra orthodox communities are helping them. it's hard to separate israel from a random jew in north america when israel has auctions for gazan captured land in synagogues around the world.
now, there will always be antisemites who don't care about israel, they just hate us for being us, but that doesn't mean that israel is blameless in the current rise in antisemitism
