I just wanted to try to #contextualise the notion of "antisemitism", so people who are concerned about it can understand the #phenomenon more accurately.
According to #statistics published by Tel Aviv #University, #violent anti-Semitic attacks are #trending down from a #high in 2009. This is #data available on #Statista.
https://www.statista.com/statistics/267401/anti-semitic-violence-since-1989/
According to the Tel Aviv University #stats via Statista, there have been a total of 12,492 "violent anti-Semitic incidents" #worldwide since 1989. Unfortunately the term "incident" is not defined and neither is the #violence #qualified, so there's a limit to what can be inferred from this #data.
However, the #numbers can be understood. 12,492 is an average of 403 incidents a year, over the 31 year period. That's an average of 34 a month, or about 8 a week, worldwide, over 31 years.
If we take today's #Jewish #population of around 14,000,000 into account, that means that on average 0.0029% of #Jews are #victims of anti-Semitic violence each year, which means that 99.9971% of Jews are not victims of it.
If we assume all incidents are perpetrated by #Gentiles and also consider the #Gentile population is around 7,786,000,000, that means that on average only 1 out of every 19,320,100 Gentiles commits an act of anti-Semitic violence each year. That's 0.000005176% of Gentiles, meaning that 99.999994824% of Gentiles don't commit acts of anti-Semitic violence.
Great news for everybody, except those who use "#antisemitism" as a #political #tool and those organisations like the #ADL whose #financial existence relies on "antisemitism" remaining a significant #problem.
