if you made it to the bottom of this list and actually read everything, reblog with the tag "heard." that's really it. i just want to know that people hear us begging for people to speak up.
To back up op-here's some reading on where exactly OP got their stuff from. And, I want to make it absolutely clear-the only ones to blame for antisemitism are the ones doing it. No 'but!' BS. The ones doing it chose to do it. They weren't forced.
I'm gonna take this oportunity to talk about The AMIA attack in 1994.
(More so, I'm probably just copy, translate, and paste some articules about it.)
The AMIA attack involves both former and current important political figures, including multiple presidents, and the government of Iran. Nobody has been arrested, and Judges and Prosecutors who tried to uncover the truth have been sentenced or killed.
30 YEARS WITHOUT JUSTICE.
What is "El Atentado a la AMIA"?
« The attack on the AMIA was the largest terrorist attack in Argentine history. It has become, over the years, an endless maze full of irregularities on the part of the Justice system. In fact, at present, it is completely stalled, with no prospects of improving its situation. The attack occurred on July 18, 1994 when a car bomb crashed into the Argentine Israelite Mutual Association (AMIA), leaving a toll of 85 dead and 300 injured. More than a quarter of a century after the attack, none of the perpetrators have been arrested or tried, nor has a single suspect been judged. It was not the only attack carried out. »
Why nobody was arrested?
« The prosecutor Alberto Nisman (The one in charge of the investigation) was found dead in the bathroom of his apartment in Buenos Aires. Just four days earlier, he had presented a complaint to the justice system against President Cristina Kirchner and four other individuals accused by him of covering up Iran's involvement in the terrorist attack »

« It is worth noting that the death of Alberto Nisman is being investigated as a homicide by the Argentine justice system, and it is directly linked to the role and work he carried out from the Special Prosecutor's Unit for the Investigation of the AMIA Case, as determined by the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation. »

What does Formen President Menen has to do with it?
« This Thursday, a court convicted the first judge who investigated the case, Juan José Galeano, and the Secretary of Intelligence at the time, Hugo Anzorreguy, for having diverted the investigation, but acquitted the highest political authority of the time, former president and current senator Carlos Menem (1989-99) of the same charge. »
« Specifically, he was accused of having protected a Syrian-born merchant named Alberto Kanoore Edul, a suspect in the case, who allegedly had ties to the presidential family. »

Who is Cristina Fernández de Kirchner?
« Fernández de Kirchner, who already had experience as a deputy and senator, was First Lady from 2003 to 2007, and then served as President of Argentina twice between 2007 and 2015. »
« After a return to the Argentine Senate during the presidency of Mauricio Macri (2015-2019), Fernández de Kirchner—or CFK, as she is also known—was elected Vice President and assumed office alongside President Alberto Fernández in December 2019. »
« In the role of Vice President, CFK has continued to exert significant influence on the government and on the political life of the country. »

What does Cristina Fernández de Kirchner has to do with this?
« President Cristina Kirchner and Foreign Minister Héctor Timerman were accused by the prosecutor of the AMIA case, Alberto Nisman, of having made a secret agreement with Iran in exchange for reestablishing commercial relations. »
« According to the prosecutor, the evidence demonstrates that the plan aimed at removing Iran from the AMIA case originated in the President's prior decision to approach that country geopolitically and restore commercial relations. »
« The evidence collected allowed to affirm, without a doubt, that - at least, to carry out this criminal plan - the government set up a parallel communication channel between Argentina and Iran in order to transmit and implement the orders issued by the President and, thus, achieve the illicit objectives. »
« The intelligence personnel involved in the case manipulated evidence, individuals, and actively participated in fabricating the false hypothesis to illegally divert the course of the judicial proceedings, exonerate the Iranian defendants, and - at the same time - falsely accuse innocent third parties, attributing to them, with forged evidence, responsibility for the attack. »

What impact does it have on the Jewish community of Argentina?
This, this I'm going to talk about from experience.
THERE'S NOT A SINGLE JEWISH INSTITUTION WITHOUT ANTI-CAR BOMB ARCHITECTURE.
You can LITERALLY KNOW if the building you are standing in front of is Jewish BY ITS ARCHITECTURE.
In the club where I work (WITH KIDS), WE HAVE A DOUBLE HEAVY DOOR IN THE FRONT, WITH CAMERAS. AND IF THEY DON'T KNOW YOU, THEY WON'T LET YOU IN. The door is heavy because IT'S MADE TO BE AN ANTI-TERRORIST MEASURE.
Do you understand that? Nobody CARES. They VOTED CFK AS PRESIDENT TWICE SINCE THE AMIA ATTACK.
Do you understand what this means? DO YOU?
Think about this when you say that antisemitism isn't relevant anymore.
« Bonadio accuses the former president of "treason against the homeland," a criminal charge that carries a penalty of between 10 and 25 years in prison. »
