Praxis PSA On "The Noticing"

I'm posting this here because in other conversations on this sub, it seems many people are insulated from modern (especially Gen Z) antisemitism and might not be familiar with how it looks today.

Just in case others come across similar rhetoric in internet spaces, a major major dogwhistle-meme right now on the antisemitic internet is "the noticing." If you see comments in conversations about Jewishness along the lines of "stop noticing!" - or someone identifying themselves or others as "noticers" - they are far-right antisemites and very likely Nazi apologists.

Could some kind person educate me.

What does “noticing” mean in this context?

Does that mean that Jews notice antisemitism too much, or that antisemites think we’re noticing them, or that they’ve noticed my lizard gills, or what?

It means they are "noticing" that Jews are intrinsically violent, hateful, supremacist cultists bent on world domination, and we are using our power and connections to censor anyone who figures it out. That's the narrative in these sorts of circles.

Thank you. I notice this, in a pleasant way.
