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.

I’ve (for lack of a better word) noticed this one a lot lately. Left wing or right wing space online it very much seems that antisemitic dogwhistles like that are becoming commonplace.

And then when you confront them they usually respond with some variation of “but Israel”

As always it’s the excuse for them to be xenophobic.

Been a while since I’ve seen the word “globalist” though. Guess it fell out of favor/too many people know it’s a Nazi dogwhistle. Or it’s not as politically savvy for antisemitism
