#antisemitic harassment

[eretzyisrael]

by Seth Mandel

There are several levels, then, of unethical behavior here. Most of the commentary has focused, understandably, on the journalistic malpractice at play. The Times even admitted publicly that the reporter, Natasha Frost, had “inappropriately shared information with the subject of a story to assist the individual in a private matter, a clear violation of our ethics.”

Others have focused on the fact that Frost had touched off a massive wave of anti-Semitic harassment that has yet to taper off. Some people went into hiding. Others had to move. One family received a picture of their five-year-old daughter with a note that said “We know where you live.” Jewish actors were kicked out of their troupe; Jewish musicians were fired; Jewish storefronts were vandalized. In total, the personal information of about 600 Jews was released into this atmosphere.

But there’s more to contemplate here. The story Frost ultimately wrote painted the group of Jews as a racialist pressure gang whose objections succeeded because the group’s target was radio host Antoinette Lattouf, a Lebanese Jew-baiter. The broadcaster who’d hired the Lattouf ended up cutting her temporary gig by a couple days after Lattouf ignored directives to avoid Jew-baiting on social media. So the targets of anti-Semitism were presented as racists for objecting to the anti-Semitism that actual racists were subjecting them to.

This is a common theme of anti-Israel propaganda. The fabricated narrative of decolonization holds that the millennia-old Jewish community from Judea is actually a century-young European project, despite the hilarious fact that the name “Palestine” is literally a European settler creation. (This is called psychological projection, and Israel’s enemies are addicted to engaging in it.) In part, this is because modern progressive ideology requires every situation to be shoehorned into a racial binary, despite the ahistorical nature of this misunderstanding of the concept of race. Progressives simply hold up a color palette to any dispute and assign places in a permanent global race war.

Another problem with the Frost saga is how a private support group for grieving Jews is remodeled in the press as the flexing of Jewish power and control. Jewish organizing is made into nefarious lobbying. Intra-communal solidarity is presented to the world as the protocols of the elders.

conflating diaspora jews with the actions of the israeli government is not okay, yes, but have you considered it's not okay to conflate israeli jews with them either

[thatweirdtranny]

jewish people said “ok you’re leftist but are you normal about jewish people” and so many leftists have confidently answered with a resounding “lol fuck no”

[spot-the-antisemitism]

Jesus fuck what is wrong with some people. Maybe they didn’t want to talk about it because people like you make just existing as a Jew not for your cause reason to be harassed and depending on your(OOP) extremism maybe even murder.

Honestly that person sounds rich and entitled enough to request different housing

Yeah no shit most Jews are zionist, Cope and seethe OP

I hope they use this in the court case when the inevitable attempted murder/pogrom occurs

[kosherkept]

at the very least, leftist antisemites can actually be really funny sometimes. getting on the internet to celebrate the deaths of over a thousand jews only to deactivate your account because you're "feeling really overwhelmed and need to take a break from harassment :/" because like one jew told you "hey thats bad actually." ???? HILARIOUS

[jewelleria]

I know it's not how you rationalize it to yourself, but your posts about Israel/palestine come off as a support of the destruction of Gaza and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. Insisting that it's a war (Palestine isn't allowed to have an army, and Israel cannot claim self-defence against a territory they occupy), denying that Israel is at fault, obscuring support of Palestine in general as being motivated by antisemitism - it paints a picture.

At least 30 000, probably closer to 100 000 Palestinians have been killed as of now. That is so monumentally worse than anything currently happening to Israel / zionists. So when you spend most of your energy focusing on those wrongs, or insisting that people talking about Palestine should focus on them, it comes off as brushing it off or trying to diminish its importance.

You don't have to answer, as I'll be blocking you, but I'm asking you to please consider what you're willing to support, excuse or tone down, and why. I know what it's like to be too focused on the discrimination we're facing to really take in what other groups might be going through.

hey anon, that's some great useful idiot syndrome you got there. how much college debt did you go into to earn it?

If y’all (you know who you are) are uncomfortable with Jews wearing the Magen David (star of David) necklace and are openly harassing Jews for wearing it…then you have a problem and it’s called being antisemitic.

There’s an iconic photo of the demonstrators marching through Sather Gate in November 1964. Ironically, they could not have done so in recent weeks: The antithesis of the Free Speech Movement, at the center of what is now the antithesis of Berkeley 1964, has had the gate blocked off. Pro-Hamas activists on campus have been blocking the gate and harassing any Jewish students in the vicinity. This comes on the heels of the same group’s violent and highly symbolic night of fascist role playing, in which they forced the cancellation of a Jewish speaker by physically assaulting a Jewish woman, spitting on others, smashing the venue’s window and hurling obscenities that wouldn’t have sounded out of place in The Zone of Interest.

It is appropriate, then, that the jackboot siege of Sather Gate was protested on Monday by a peaceful but determined march of Jews reprising their role as enemies of blood-and-soil racial hierarchies. “At noon,” an ABC affiliate reported that “the Jewish students marched onto Sproul Plaza and instead of passing through Sather Gate and past the banner, they avoided a confrontation by literally fording the creek to get to the other side on a foot path.” The report continues: “The crowd of 200 Jewish supporters ended up in front of California Hall where faculty members offered their support, commenting on the Feb. 26 disturbance that forced Jewish students to move off campus.”

That Feb. 26 incident was the breaking point. Anti-Semitic harassment and threats have been part of life for students there since Oct. 7. Other Jews have been assaulted on campus. A federal civil-rights complaint alleges that two-dozen law-school groups have anti-Jewish policies. Kosher restaurants have been targeted. It’s reached the point where one Jewish Berkeley professor is staging a live-in at his campus office.

Berkeley’s repression of Jewish civil rights won’t be solved by one march, but the change in posture to visible protest is welcome. The students and families tried working with the administration but have been ignored at every turn. A school spokesman even admitted the university would not be taking down the Palestine banner blocking part of campus because, although it clearly violates campus rules, “we assessed that using law-enforcement to clear it would create turmoil.” And God forbid there should be turmoil!

Columbia University is denying access to a Jewish professor, Shai Davidai, deactivated his access card, and blocked his entry into campus.

Colombia has officially taken a pro-Hamas position.

can't believe i'm saying this, but please don't let literal nazi shit slide in the slenderverse fandom. i just saw habit and firebrand drawn together with literal swastikas on it and i'm not gonna name names, but if you see that shit, please report it. you can't let antisemitism slide for even an inch, because if you do, you're sending the signal that nazism and antisemitism is welcome in your circles, and that jewish people are not. it's not a joke, it's not cute or ironic, and it's certainly not appropriate for ship art with a jewish guy. use your brain.

Not even surprised at the way some people are acting right now with using the death of a celebrity to wish death upon Noah. The fact that it’s by people who consider themselves “humanitarians” is beyond laughable. This is exactly why I don’t take them seriously. The majority of them are fake and performative and don’t even realize how narcissistic, racist, bigoted, antisemitic, etc. they actually are. The people that accuse Noah of being a vile, hateful person who makes jokes out of people dying really need to take a look in the mirror. They won’t, though. They’ll keep living in their hypocrisy and believe that they’re such amazing, moral people when they’re the total opposite. You know what true humanitarians would want? Peace for EVERYONE. Not just certain groups of people, certain countries, certain religions, certain ethnicities, certain races, certain genders, etc.. It seems like that’s a crazy statement to say right now, which is beyond sad. Call me crazy, but I don’t think genuinely good people would harass, bully, threaten, and torment someone in person or online. Celebrity or not. Because believe it or not, celebrities are human beings just like me and you. They can read whatever you put on the internet about them. You don’t like them? Fine. The block button is right there to use. It’s extremely easy to use it, just a click or two. There’s tons of celebrities and people I don’t like. So what do I do about them? Oh yeah, block them! I don’t leave them hate comments, because what is that going to do? Nothing. And even if I don’t like them, part of me still feels guilty for the idea of leaving them a hateful message directly or indirectly. I don’t even truly know them to begin with. Seriously, just block or ignore. You don’t like or agree with what I say or believe in? Do us both a favor and block and ignore me! Because that means I also don’t agree with you. It’s a win for the both of us. I’d rather leave kind, supportive messages to people and celebrities that I like than put my energy and focus into being hateful towards celebrities and people that I don’t like. If someone with mental health issues gets triggered by something that I say about them and does something that they can’t undo, I don’t want to be responsible for them harming themselves or worse. That’s why I just block and ignore. Even if I don’t like them. Shocking to some of you, I know. As someone who struggles with mental illness, I know I wouldn’t be able to handle all the hateful, disgusting, abusive messages that Noah and so many other celebrities get. There’s no way I’d be able to deal with it. If I know I wouldn’t be able to handle it, why would I do it to others? Makes no sense.

Leaving kind messages to people and celebrities I like brings me joy. It makes me happy knowing that something I said can help someone feel better if they’re having a rough time. Leaving a hateful message instead wouldn’t make me feel good at all. I guess that works for some people, not for me, though. Again, the people you leave messages to will see them. Sometimes you might even get a reply. Just remember that when you’re sending a message to someone. Celebrity or not.

Found a Twitter thread about Pro-Pals harassing and then attacking a Jewish couple in Berlin.

They were recording the couple for literally no reason (other than one of them wearing a Magen David), one of the couple sent a rude gesture their way in an attempt to get them to stop, And they attacked them. Dragging them from their vehicle, and even threatening to sexually assault them.

Of course the thread is FILLED to the brim with Pro-Pals acting like they deserve it cuz "Israel bad."

If you're up for seeing that nonsense, or want to read the full initial post, just click on the "view on Twitter" thing at the bottom of the image.

This kinda shit is why I don't believe Pro-Pals when they say "antizionism isn't antisemitism."
