47. We're supposed to fight antisemitism by ignoring examples of it?

I disagree.

Americans in the 1960s were appalled to see images of firehoses and dogs turned on peaceful Black people dressed in their Sunday clothes.

We were appalled to see George Floyd suffocated to death by a cop while onlookers screamed that he was dying.

And you yourself use this technique often on DU. How many times have you posted about things Israel is doing?

People respond to incidents, not vague protests.
