Did you read the article? >"It's really the fault of Little Mustache," wrote a netizen. "If he had burned all of them (Jews), we wouldn't have this much trouble." Nobody on the left or right in the west is that anti-Semitic, at least not publicly.

You haven't checked twitter after oct 7th. I have seen quite a lot of exactly that. Usually from "decolonizers" So what I was wanting to say was that gab is not the best comparison specifically now specifically for antisemitism. Mainstream twitter is

In a Palestinian demonstration where they called for a Palestinian state from river to sea (elimination of Israel), the only arrested person is a Jewish woman who confronted them. I don't rush to call people antisemitic, I think most of them are just "useful idiots" for the Hamas/Iran propaganda. But there are also some people who are letting old prejudice rise and using this as an opportunity. This isn't mainstream but that's how these things start...

You're kidding surely. that quote comes from random social media posts. A rather lazy narrative by VoA, which will get its readers to stereotype China as anti-Semitic, or as being more tolerant of anti-Semitism than the West, stereotypes you seem to have accepted too, when none of that is empirically established. It's a strange motte-and-bailey, where media outlets are factual ("here are a few tweets"), but are always interpreted in irrational ways ("XYZ group has a big problem with ABC"), since average people are known to falsely generalize based on anecdotes. I'll take such articles seriously when they start presenting quantified empirical data. I'll be waiting a while.

I don't know how to say this but have you ever visited a site called 4chan? And that's not even the worst offender. Ever since Twitter fired most of its content moderation team, it's also pretty easy to find that kind of talk there, as well as the inverse (i.e. literal calls for genocide against non-Jewish Palestinians).
