We love ourselves too often and need reach out much more often. It is a social responsibility and it effects the environment also.
I am referring to those who are not Jews, who may be losing interest. Thought for 7s Yes, there is evidence from 2025–2026 surveys that many non-Jewish Americans (the general public) show signs of reduced attention, lower perceived urgency, or fatigue regarding antisemitism compared to the immediate post-October 7 peak. This manifests as declining awareness of its seriousness, fewer "allies" willing to actively push back, and a sense that it's a durable but less mobilizing issue—often blending into broader Israel/Gaza war fatigue. bluesquarealliance.org Key Data from General Public SurveysBlue Square Alliance "Stand Up to Jewish Hate" Survey (2025): Antisemitism awareness has fallen even as incidents remain elevated. The share of "allies" (well-informed and ready to stand against it) dropped sharply from 15% in 2023 to 9% in 2025. Nearly half of Americans now believe Jews can "handle antisemitism on their own" (up significantly). About 3 in 5 view it as a minor problem or not a problem at all. The surge has "leveled off" at alarming levels rather than receding. bluesquarealliance.org +1 AJC State of Antisemitism Report 2025 (General Public Survey, Oct 2025): Only 28% of the general public called antisemitism a "very serious" problem (vs. nearly half of Jewish Americans). Still, 45% reported personally seeing or hearing it in the past year (mostly online), showing exposure without heightened alarm. A clear perception gap exists between Jews and non-Jews. ajc.org +1 Yale Youth Poll (Spring 2026): Overall, 63% of voters agreed antisemitism is a "serious problem," but this drops to just 55% among 18–34-year-olds (vs. 78% for 65+). Younger non-Jews also show higher endorsement of antisemitic beliefs. youthpoll.yale.edu Harvard CAPS-Harris (May 2026): 54% said antisemitism is rising, 82% said it's important to stop/eliminate it. However, this coexists with broader shifts (e.g., declining sympathy for Israel and views of the conflict as dragging on). jewishvirtuallibrary.org Contributing FactorsNormalization and "Mundane" Effect: ADL's 2026 State of Hate noted antisemitism has become so commonplace that incidents that once shocked now barely register for many. This desensitization reduces sustained interest. adl.org Israel/Gaza Fatigue: Polls (Gallup, etc.) show shifting sympathies (more toward Palestinians, especially among younger and independent voters) and lower priority for the issue. Discussions of antisemitism often get entangled in this, leading some non-Jews to disengage or view alerts as overreach. nytimes.com Plateau After Peak: Post-2023/2024 surge, overall incidents declined in 2025, which may reduce visibility and urgency for outsiders even if the baseline remains high and assaults persist. In short, while majorities still reject overt antisemitism and see value in addressing it, non-Jewish engagement has softened—fewer active allies, lower urgency ratings, and fatigue from prolonged coverage. This doesn't mean prejudice is disappearing (latent attitudes remain concerning), but public interest and mobilization appear to be waning among segments of the general population. Jewish communities report the opposite: sustained or heightened concern and behavioral changes.
Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex · Jun 18 History shows schemes of violence and oppression, of power and domination, of gains made without justice and without scruples. They backfire against those who suffer because of them and also against those who pursue them. Let us pray to Jesus, the Lord of peace, and let us appeal to people’s consciences so that they may be moved by indignation. May respect for humanity and a proper sense of civility be restored!
Dear Corporations: And you know, some would argue that now the industry's maybe going too far.— And when you alienate people, You said: They need to focus on the product more, and not the advertizement Exactly. When a product is genuinely excellent, the product itself becomes the marketing.When companies rely on aggressive advertising, it is often a smoke screen to compensate for a mediocre, declining, or uninspired product.This shift in corporate priorities hurts the consumer in a few distinct ways:Misallocated Budgets: Millions of dollars flow into ad agencies and user-acquisition algorithms instead of funding research, development, and engineering.Engineered Dependency: Instead of building a product people love, companies focus on psychological hooks, streaks, and notifications to force engagement.The "Good Enough" Trap: Once a company dominates ad space, they only need a product that is just good enough to keep people from quitting, halting real innovation.When a business focuses entirely on craftsmanship, utility, and user experience, word of mouth naturally follows. The value is built directly into the tool, not into a manipulative campaign to sell it.
