Sure...
Your worry about posters here "unfairly" blaming Israel - whose government can't stop genociding men, women and children of another ethnicity at the same time as claiming they represent all Jews and call those that criticize that government and that genocide anti-semites - for the increase of acts of anti-semitism justified by said genocide, is purelly the result of you being a pure, loving soul that can't but empathise with the suffering of the poor Genocidal ethno-Fascists.
I mean, what pure soul out there wouldn't feel pain when people are "unfairly" blaming genocidal ethno-Fascists who claim to represent an entire ethnicity and accuse those critical of them of being against that ethnicity, for an increase in actions against that ethnicity justified by the genocide being commited by those ethno-Fascists: there is clearly no relation at all between ethno-Fascists doing horrible deeds claiming it's for an entire ethnicity and there being people who believe that ethnicity is responsible for those crimes.
And don't get me started on how your choice of "whatabout" targets just happen to be Islamic nations and Islam, THE favorite choice of pro-Zionism racists, and not even being an equivalent "whatabout" since none of those nation went around committing genocide whilst claiming to represent Islam and accusing critics of being Islamophobic.
Clearly you're just one big misunderstood impeccably fair softy and all the coincidences in the kind, form, quality and target of that argument of yours with the style used by pro-Zionist racists is just an amazing coincidence.
No, I just pointed out a trend that is happening in this post. Most of the context you just made up.
Definitely I am not excusing any of Israel’s actions that are truly atrocious.
There are two reasons for something being said by multiple people:
If somebody is shot on the street in front of a crowd and dies, and 10 passerbys who saw it are interviewed and all say that "a person was murdered", it's not a trend, it's them deriving the same conclusion from having observed what happenned.
Similary the people here having read again and again, from the government of Israel and Western "leaders" such as Sholz and Biden calling Israel "the Jewish Nation" and even accusing those critical of Israel and its actions of being anti-semite (i.e. of being "against Jews", not of being against Israel) and then seeing news of somebody attacking a Jew whilst loudly criticising Israel, multiple people are all concluding from that base data that all those claims of Israel representing Jews are why some people really do believe Israel represents Jews, is simple logic: cause and consequence rather than a social mechanism like a "trend".
It's so simple logic, that confusing it with a meme is strange.
Beyond that, the tendency for people to actually go to the trouble of sharing with others that conclusion here now is probably driven by their outrage at the actions of Israel in recent times - very few people were pointing out the logic conclusion that "Israel claiming to represent Jews will lead others to actually believe it and hence blame Jews for any bad actions of Israel" back when the Israeli Genocide was slow burning and they weren't murdering thousands of chidren a month.
How is this relevant to what I said?
