You are repeating the same arguments that have been told for 70 years.
Israel had it much worse when the USSR was trying to isolate it together with Arab League (remember UN resolution 3379 from 1975 that equates Zionism with Apartheid). USSR is gone, and most Arab countries are either neutral or silently support Israel (SA, Jordan, UAE and others).
There was never been a time in history when people supported Israel so much. I saw US polls that most of the generations except the TikTok cohort support Israel overwhelmingly. Eurovision public voting is another example.
So yes, antisemites and the mentally ill are loud on the streets and on the university campuses but they haven't won the hearts and the minds of people, and rightfully so.

Your point about the Eurovision is something I also am very curious about. I don’t understand how that’s possible, from TikTok and Instagram to Reddit and HN, All I see are mass protests and hate comments against Israel. So how come tens of millions overwhelmingly voted for Israel, even in Scandinavia? Sweden gave them 12 points!

Is that right?
> The survey found that 61% of the population opposes Israel's military action in the sealed-off Palestinian territory.
> Public support in Germany for Israel's military operations has dropped significantly, the survey shows.
> In November, shortly after the October 7 attacks, 62% favoured the Israeli military actions in Gaza, compared to 33% in the most recent survey, indicating a recent shift in public opinion almost eight months into the conflict.
