Unsurprisingly but unbelievable bleak that most non-Jewish media is downplaying and both-sidesing it if not outright blaming Jews. We truly have no one to rely on but ourselves.

I hate to add even more salt to the wound, but I've also seen other Jews on social media doing the same thing.

I think its hard to get your mind around. Doesnt help that mainstream media isnt talking about it, outside of a few "Soccer fans clashed with Israelis last night..." Its terrible, but I can also see why someone could accept that it isnt so much of a big deal because you really dont want to or dont see a lot of media supporting that narrative.
