Another week has gone by, and I'm watching the anti-semitic behavior continue to take off from people who, before October 7th, would have never started repeating and sharing Jewish hate memes.
There is no excuse for the bombing in Palestine/Gaza to ever have escalated to this stage in the first place.
There is also no excuse to start sharing memes that minimize the horror of Hamas. None.

The latest meme culture is copying the right-wing 2016 culture of "If I don't like something, I am calling it X"; in this case, the memes go, "I don't like something, so it's Hamas."
I am seeing it shared by people who somehow feel it appropriate to minimize the absolute terror that group has always brought.
I don't see an answer to this other than to hope somewhere in the future, people wake up and realize that anger and disgust at a super-power had easily been targeted toward Jewish people.
