people who would rather blame the mass reduction in yiddish on Israelis making a national language vs the Europeans who murdered 2/3rds of the yiddish speakers amd sent most of the rest off as refugees to countries they had to assimilate in are pretty fucking special.

Liberals stop saying Vice President Harris isn't antisemitic because she married a Jew challenge.
Instead, say she's not antisemitic because her policies were [this] or her statements were [that] or the Biden/Harris administration did [something].
Would you say Trump isn't antisemitic because his daughter is Jewish?
No, you wouldn't because that's stupid.

there's about 105 million evangelical zionists in the US and Canada but ain't nobody threatening them, for 2 reasons:
1. This is only partially about supporting Palestinian liberation. The other part is hating the Jews.
2. Evangelicals would shoot them in the face.

I'm unsure why "the flood is coming" to Canada.
“The flood is coming,” read black #graffiti photographed by the Calgary #Jewish Federation near the Beth Tzedec Congregation and Calgary Jewish Academy.
Al-Aqsa Flood was the #Hamas operational name of the October 7 Massacre."

"Despite a wave of fear and pessimism about #antisemitism in #Europe, #Jewish leaders intend to stay there, according to a new survey commissioned by a global Jewish aid organization.
#Antisemitic incidents have surged in Europe since the #Oct7 #Hamas attack on #Israel and Israel’s nine-month reprisals on #Gaza, prompting some prominent Jewish voices to warn of mass emigration."

"In recent weeks, multiple local councillors of different political persuasions have declined to meet with #Jewish representatives to discuss community-based #antisemitism on the grounds they are “under pressure” or that they don’t want to engage on “international issues”.
Another, who did agree to a meeting, said quite seriously that if Jewish people spoke out more against the “#genocide” in #Gaza then local antisemitism would stop.
Jewish doctors working in major health services have been told by long-time patients they no longer want to see them because they know they are Jewish.
Generous Jewish philanthropists have reported that staff at local non-Jewish charities have voted to reject funding that comes from “a Jewish family”. Many donors have also withdrawn funding because recipient won’t retract blatantly #antisemitic statements."

as much as I hate the politics of the evangelical far right, who make up more zionists in the US than there are Jews in the whole world, it still isn't ok to spraypaint accusations on their churches about the Israel Gaza war.
Oh wait, the left has never fucking done that ever but they sure as fuck defaced the synagogue over by our JCC.

I don't really. It's been my experience that as lefties age they either become hyper local in their activism or get more mainstream.

I wouldn't say every DSA member is antisemitic but I would say the organization as a whole has certainly taken a turn in that direction in the last decade.
I have had friends, some Jewish, who have been very active in DSA. I think they've all moved on.

Many Indian-Jewish dishes – and here I’m referring to the food of the #Jews of #India who were originally from #Iraq, like my family – are a synthesis of #Iraqi and Indian #cooking. The #cuisine has mostly been kept alive by hand rather than the written word."

"Attempts to paint #Jews and #Jewish institutions as untrustworthy and not to be believed date back millenniums, and the re-emergence of this pattern is one of the most frightening elements of the rising tide of #antisemitism.
The disbelief is seemingly everywhere: evidence of Jewish women sexually assaulted during the Oct. 7 massacres is repeatedly doubted, while shootings at schools and vandalism at #synagogues and Jewish community centres have been dismissed by some as false flags. Indeed, virtually anyone actively calling out antisemitism on social media is by now accustomed to the obscene flurry of replies that at best question the veracity of the reports and at worst traffic in Nazi-style propaganda."

"#Rome's #Jewish community has called for Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni to punish members of her party's youth wing who were recorded making #antisemitic and pro- #fascist comments in an undercover media investigation.
A reporter from online newspaper Fanpage infiltrated Gioventu Nazionale, Meloni's rightist Brothers of #Italy youth movement, and recorded videos in which members declared themselves #fascists and shouted the #Nazi slogan "Sieg Heil."

"The #protesters carried a banner that said “It is right to rebel, #Hillel go to hell,” with an inverted red triangle on it, which has come to signify support for #Hamas on social media because the terror group uses the symbol in videos of its attacks. The student demonstrators repeatedly formed inverted triangles with their hands, flashing the symbol at the counter-protesters. Another protester brandished a banner that had a #swastika inside a Star of David while shouting: “#Synagogue of Satan.”
The pro- #Palestinian, anti- #Israel demonstrators chanted “From #CUNY to #Gaza, globalize the #intifada,” and “Hillel, Hillel, what do you say? How many kids did you kill today?”
