I see that the administration (the system, not the individuals) here is fear-based, and thus various religious/spiritual beliefs get maligned, both intentionally and unintentionally (by various posters), and that a great many harmful things are swept under the rug, rather than resolved.
I see that those unresolved things fester, and do not remain under said rug, but breed there (much like a malignancy), and thus an atmosphere of distrust, unsafety, and repression is fostered, which backfires on the very purpose of this group.
I'm not sure that I would say that it's specifically *only* antisemitic, as I've seen other groups/belief systems maligned as well. I see it across the board more clearly, now that I'm no longer aligned with any particular religious group. I don't have a dog in this fight, but I can see that other dogs are indeed getting kicked to the curb, and that their pain is being dismissed (NOT that I'm calling *any* person here a "dog" -- just building on a metaphor).
Having said that, I am heading out of state for a wedding, and do not have time to comment further, nor to respond, should anyone reply to this.
Shalom, Dena
