What you’re describing is clear anti-semitism and it’s horrible you have to experience that. I’m sorry you see this regularly and don’t feel safe.

What’s different in this case though is flying a flag of a country actively committing a genocide and being surprised people have an issue with that (not saying here I agree or disagree with the action, what I think is not relevant). The issue is not them being Jewish. The issue is them supporting a rogue country.

What is the point of flying a flag if not to show support? It’s like tattooing a swastika on your face and being surprised people mistake you for a nazi.
