You don't have to support terrorism to acknowledge what creates and fuels it.

An increase in anti-jewish terrorism is expected after the last year of Israel's genocide, and these specific events are likely a direct response to it; not random chance.

I agree with your comment entirely, so you may be misunderstanding the point I was making.

I agree it's not surprising there's been a rise in anti-jewish racism, especially since the Israeli state consistently tries to muddy the waters and conflate itself with jewish people in general (which is fucked).

The comment I was replying to ("Maybe if they stopped genociding people?") appears to uncritically accept this conflation and the racist falsehood that the whole ethnic communities being targeted in these incidents are inherently connected or responsible for Israel's genocide, and that needs to be called out.
