I am one of a few Jews living in a small Norfolk town. I already have strikes against me being an autistic American with no friends who has experienced my car being "keyed", having two tyres let down, damage to recently installed fencing on my driveway. Now with this Israelie war and an apparent widspread refusal in the UK population to condemn the barbaric attack by Hamas as reported on our News media --- am I being unnecessarily anxious?
I think that anxiety generally speaking, is dependent on a person not finding the necessary aspects of a solution, despite their every intention of knowing how to aim themselves.. otherwise it would be concern..
I am not in control of others perceptions of me. I try to make a good first impression but if I am viewed with predudice there are only two options---as I see it.:
1. walk away and ignore it
2. argue the point which from my experience is a waste of time attempting to change an ingrained attitude.
The news media has reported a %300 increase in antisemitism. I think your semantics on my word choice is unjustified.
