"We Cannot Be Defined by the Hatred of Others," Antisemitism in New Mexico Now

— The Numbers —

The latest figures from the Anti-Defamation League, released today, show there were 47 antisemitic incidents in New Mexico in 2024 — the highest recorded in the state since ADL began tracking such data in 1979. That compares to 31 incidents the previous year. The second-highest level on record was 42 incidents in 1992.

“Jews alone can’t stop the multifaceted hate targeting our communities,” says Juan Dircie, director of the Jewish Community Relations Coalition of New Mexico. “We need everyone to recognize antisemitism for the true threat it is not only to Jews, but to our entire society. All New Mexicans must push back against this hate.”

The New Mexico figures, broken down, show 41 incidents of anti-Jewish harassment and six vandalism incidents reported in 2024.

I fear the Netanyahu government has destroyed 75 years of goodwill towards Israel. walkingman Jul 27 #1

In the past, the world never witnessed a genocide in real time on their phones womanofthehills Jul 27 #10

You nailed it. Never before were people dumb enough to learn about genocide from what they see on their phones. Beastly Boy Jul 27 #15

I think the poster was referring to the ease of dissemination carpetbagger Jul 27 #26

You are right, ease of dissemination itself is bias neutral. Beastly Boy Jul 27 #30

The Netanyahu government is not the only player in destroying good will towards Israel. Beastly Boy Jul 27 #4

Israel discredits itself through its criminal actions. David__77 Jul 27 #5

So do Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, Russia and China. Beastly Boy Jul 27 #7

Israel is our ally. carpetbagger Jul 27 #21

With Israel creating a Holocaust in Gaza this kind of pushback is only going to get worse. Murdering babies has ImNotGod Jul 27 #11

Ever heard of Holocaust inversion? Beastly Boy Jul 27 #13

To be fair, that goes to Hamas as well EdmondDantes_ Jul 27 #17

What is not understandable is how many people feel angry about Israel's actions and no one else's. Beastly Boy Jul 27 #19

Except a sign saying "genocide is genocide" isn't Holocaust denialism and undercuts their claims. EdmondDantes_ Jul 27 #31

It doesn't surprise me anymore that documenting antisemitism is being dismissed as "scare inducing" Beastly Boy Jul 29 #42

Funny how you didn't actually respond to what I said EdmondDantes_ Jul 29 #46

Everything in my response is directly related to what you said. Beastly Boy Jul 29 #48

Given they are counting it as Holocaust denialism EdmondDantes_ Jul 29 #50

This is a bit cryptic, but let me try to make sense of it. Beastly Boy Jul 29 #52

I think it's perfectly understandable. The behavior is... illuminating. Oopsie Daisy Jul 29 #36

Illuminating to the exclusion of all others. Beastly Boy Jul 29 #40

It's not at all what I'd expect to see. It has been... disappointing. Oopsie Daisy Jul 29 #49

it couldn't be discussion threads like these that are driving those numbers higher. nah .... couldn't be Nimble_Idea Jul 29 #38

It could, actually. But I am not suggesting it does. Beastly Boy Jul 29 #47

Israel's denial of the Palestinian holocaust is no reason to deny the Jewish holocaust, or any other for that matter cadoman Jul 27 #23

Second Holocaust inversion in a single thread. Beastly Boy Jul 27 #25

how does one invert a holocaust? cadoman Jul 27 #27

I had to look it up Mossfern Jul 27 #28

fetch will never be a thing Nimble_Idea Jul 29 #39

Feel free to cite an alternative source that defines Holocaust inversion. Beastly Boy Jul 29 #45

Except that they did not do that. Eko Jul 27 #32

it appears that "holocaust inversion" is a charming re-packaging of strawman/labeling/verecundiam/populum fallacies cadoman Jul 29 #54

When you count saying Israel is commitining a genocide as well as being against Zionism antisemitism. Eko Jul 27 #29

when you can deny genocide in real time in the present, with your own eyes. what's there to bring up old stuff? Nimble_Idea Jul 29 #37

Look there, not here! Beastly Boy Jul 29 #41

There is no antisemitism on the left. nt LexVegas Jul 29 #43
