The Issue: A 97-year-old Holocaust survivor who received anti-Semitic messages on TikTok.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The verbal attacks on Tik Tok on a 97-year-old survivor of the Holocaust should come as no surprise (\u201cSurvivor Tormented,\u201d May 25).<\/p>\n

Anti-Semitism has become a perfectly acceptable and popular past-time. Attackers have been given free rein to spew their hatred without fear of retribution.<\/p>\n

After all, when it comes to the issue of anti-Semitism, our leadership remains silent, and the mainstream media<\/a> provide pathetically scant coverage and half-hearted commentary.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a free pass to those who hate. Verbal and physical assaults on Jews will unfortunately continue. <\/p>\n

As the daughter of an Aushwitz survivor, I take this horrific rise in anti-Semitism very personally.<\/p>\n

It seems as if social-media algorithms do not recognize hate toward Jews and Israel.<\/p>\n

The truth is that anti-Zionism is just another word for anti-Semitism. Joseph Goebbels would be so proud. <\/p>\n

Anti-Semitism is showing its ugly face more publicly these days.<\/p>\n

The Jewish Holocaust survivor, Lily Ebert, was almost murdered by the Nazis. She is trying to educate the world and stop the vile anti-Semitic abuse.<\/p>\n

But by saying, \u201cAt least 248 Palestinians were killed\u201d and \u201c12 people in Israel also died,\u201d The Post minimizes the Israeli deaths as a result of Hamas\u2019 actions.<\/p>\n

Israelis were running to bomb shelters to hide from direct Hamas rocket attacks on their homes.<\/p>\n

Israelis were killed. Hamas members are murderers, just a different kind of Nazi for this generation. Don\u2019t minimize the anti-Semitism.<\/p>\n

Thank you for pointing out the issue of anti-Semitism, a significant problem in this city and elsewhere, in your front-page article, \u201cHate\u2019s New Low.\u201d I hope Brooklyn principal Amanda Bueno reads this.<\/p>\n

I believe that all lives matter. As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, \u201cDarkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that\u201d<\/p>\n

If everyone in this country worked toward that end, we would certainly fulfill Dr. King\u2019s vision for humanity.<\/p>\n

Any casual student of history should understand that classical anti-Semitism is a malignancy that always finds a new medium to flourish, tailored to the orthodoxies of the time.<\/p>\n

For instance, over the centuries, many Jews were persecuted and even murdered over claims that the blood of murdered non-Jewish children was used to bake matzohs on Passover.<\/p>\n

In today\u2019s madness, just slap terms associated with contemporary social-justice movements \u2014 \u201cgenocide,\u201d \u201coppression\u201d and \u201ccolonialism\u201d to name few \u2014 on a democratic nation desperately trying to defend itself in its ancestral homeland from extremist murderous foes, and voila!: Classic Jew-hatred has found its new fertile ground on which to flourish. <\/p>\n

The article on the harassment of the Holocaust survivor is heartbreaking. The praise for Hitler reveals a level of ignorance and hatred that is nearly unfathomable.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s keep separate our sympathy for Jewish victims and our acknowledgement of Palestinian victims.<\/p>\n

Violations of human rights are deeply immoral, no matter where they occur and no matter who perpetrates them. The current behavior of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s government is evil, as are the attacks on this noble woman.<\/p>\n

Chip Boyd<\/em><\/p>\n

What\u2019s going on in America with the \u201cfaceless\u201d cowards of social media spewing anti-Semitic hate?<\/p>\n

This country is so polarized, yet the numbskulls in DC do nothing.<\/p>\n

Obviously social-media outlets are run by leftists who only censor conservatives. <\/p>\n
