What happened

In the aftermath of October 7, some of the most aggressive demonstrations against Israel’s response in Gaza were openly calling to “globalize the intifada.” Their wish has now been heard.

Why it matters

In recent weeks, a series of disturbing and violent incidents has taken over the world against Israelis, from Bangkok to Manila, from Greece to Montenegro.

Common ground

The simple fact that someone speaks Hebrew or is Israeli is becoming not only a liability to get gigs or contracts, in music or publishing, but an actual danger to one’s own well-being.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language, Name Calling / Labeling, Appeal to Fear: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
