#antisemitism is a hate crime

[freepalestinebastard]

Daily reminder that supporting palestine does not give you an excuse to be antisemitic

Today is the anniversary of the Tree of Life synagogue massacre in the Gregorian calendar. It happened in 2018, not that long ago, almost yesterday in Jewish time, but so many more horrific things have rocked our community since then, that it seems to have been overlooked. And it's devastating. It's devastating that in the six years since that day, hundreds more Jews have been killed for the sole reason that they were Jews, for the same ancient hatred that fueled Robert Bowers to open fire in a synagogue on Shabbat and kill eleven Jews. We can't let it be forgotten. It was forgotten by the rest of the world almost as soon as soon as it happened, but we can't let it be forgotten amongst us Jews. Our memory is what keeps us going.

Full offense but if as a queer goy your first response to “Jewish people are in danger because of Kanye West’s antisemitic comments” is “they’ll come for queer people after they come for the Jews, we need to act” you should really be asking yourself why you need to make this about queer people and not Jewish people to care enough to act. Like yes this isn’t good for anyone but why does it need to be about you for you to care. Queer Jews are already in danger from this. Are we not human enough for you to give a shit about us?

It is really super fucking telling that Jews and Muslims are experiencing massive amounts of hate crimes right now and it isn't Jews and Muslims committing said hate crimes.

We are not character is in a game or some sports team. We are all very real people who very much impacted by calls for our death and traumatized by happens to members of our communities even if it is in other parts of the world.

I know there many of you on this site having the time of your life being able to go mask off and revel in calling for Jews to die.

But this is not a joke, this is not fictional. This is real.

Wadea al-Fayoume, 6 year-old Palestinian-American child was murdered in Illinois by the family's landlord. (who again I need to stress was not Jewish)

This is what you are sowing and we, the Jewish and Muslim communities, will end having reap.

Enough is enough. Stop. Just stop.

Be quiet if can not focus your words on how to send help, aid, and resources for Palestinians.

Jesus Christ California.

The administration were texting each other about how Jews were colonizers by nature and scheduled hearings on the curriculum on Passover to keep Jews from finding out. It wasn’t even subtle. They texted about their plans and insulted the colonizer brain of a Jewish guy on the panel. Please read it. It’s old school racist.

Oh and they didn’t want Hamas labeled as terrorists because it’s dehumanizing.

Very recently, the FBI published hate crime statistics from 2023 in the US.

In the past year's data that has been reported (September 2023-January 2024), Jewish Americans faced the largest amount of hate crimes of all groups in the country, irregardless of category.

If you think antisemitism doesn't exist in the US today, you need to rethink your position.

Here is a link to the FBI's Crime Data Explorer if you wish to view the data yourself - note that you will need to filter by hate crimes.

disclaimer for anyone who tries to twist my words: this post is not meant to nor should be used to invalidate discrimination faced by any other group. all hate crimes are awful, no matter who is the target

clarification: largest amount of hate crimes in the fall of 2023. (Sep 2023-January 2024) So far, the FBI has not published statistics for hate crimes in 2024. If you’re looking at the statistics, filter by 1 year to see just hate crimes in that time period.

“israel is the reason jewish people are getting hatecrimed” wrong! Two Thousand Years of Antisemitism.

[lecoindecachou]

In a conversation on Reddit about a Jewish grandmother being assaulted in France for wearing a Star of David, someone kept asking me whether what's been happening everywhere really counted as a rise in antisemitism or if this could be seen as a 'reward' of Israel's actions, like. Wtf are you talking about. I mean, I know what they were talking about, they were saying all this antisemitism wouldn't be happening rn if Israel just... disappeared from the map I guess, but also WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. Do you also think random American Muslims deserved to be assaulted after 9/11 or do you reserve that line of thinking for Jewish folks?

For the record, the man accused in the shooting of the three Palestinian men was NOT JEWISH.

Please do not allow this terrible event to contribute to antisemitism or retaliatory Islamophobic violence.

James J. Eaton, the accused, is a white Christian man whose mother thought he was decorating a Christmas tree she gave him at the time of the shooting.

Many of us—Jews/Muslims/Israelis/Palestinians/Arabs—have been BEGGING those who claim to be our allies to dispense with violence and violent rhetoric against all of our communities precisely because we all know that these kinds of things happen as a result.

When I say that the rhetoric and tone you use online and the dogwhistles you espouse thoughtlessly can get people killed, this is what I’m talking about.

We all know that you want to be on the “right” side of history. But you have to want peace for all MORE than you want the self righteously fulfilling feeling of being right. This is not a game. People in your country are dying because people who claim to want to help are hurting everyone instead.

The only sides in this conflict are peace vs war, love vs hate. We must all be united in our desire for peace, not by our (self-proclaimed)“righteous” fury.

If you are demonizing Israel and Israelis and Jews or Muslims and Arabs and Palestinians, you are not only on the wrong side. You are not even on a side that can possibly be right.

Your personal political identity is irrelevant. Being a leftist/liberal/progressive doesn’t mean you’re immune to being hateful and Islamophobic and antisemitic. Being right wing/conservative doesn’t meant you are, either.

So, once again, I’m BEGGING YOU ALL: please tone down your rhetoric. Learn what dog whistles affect all parties in this conflict and then stop using them. Elevate the voices of people working for peace, not victory. And spend more time learning from those more familiar with the conflict than you do from those speaking most loudly about it.

And for the love of G-d. Please learn to interrogate a source for credibility before sharing it.

I keep hearing that, as Muhammad's murderous jihadis crusaded their way across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, the Islamic overlords "respected and even protected their subjects' right to practice their own religion, especially the Jews." If this is respect, I'd hate to see what the bad side of Islamic ethnic cleansing looks like: 622 - 627: Ethnic cleansing of Jews (who comprised roughly 50% of the population of Medina) carried out by Muhammad and his Jihadis. Over 800 Jewish men and boys (based on a pubic hair check), were killed by beheading. Women were forced into sexual slavery, and the children were given to Islamic Jihadis as slaves. Mohammad force-married Safiyyah, after murdering her husband and father.

This report on global Antisemitism made for some sobering reading

(also those numbers from Russia are TOTAL BS)

Anti-Jewish incidents surged around the world this week, again.

The problem is not just that Jewish people are having our lives threatened, synagogues ambushed, and families pummelled.

It’s that no one wants to talk about it.

If you only condemn the rape of Jewish women and children outside Israel - then you don't condemn the rape of Jewish women and children. Simple as that. You are perfectly OK with the rape of jews, so long as they're "the bad jews". And that makes you no different from the nazis. It makes you no different from every single other group that has ever hated and tried to exterminate our people.

WE DO NOT NEED THE SYMPATHY OF OUR ABUSERS

[xclowniex]

Something I think that a lot of the people who deny Oct 7th forget is that when they deny the atrocities that happen, they are negatively harming jews who were not harmed during Oct 7th, who potentially don't live in Israel who have had similar things happen to them.

Tw rape mention and antisemitsm

I was raped for being jewish back in 2018. I won't go too into it but it happened because I was Jewish and antisemitic slurs and words where said to me during it.

When I saw people denying the mass rape of Oct 7th, the first thought that entered my mind was

"oh, these people probably wouldn't believe that I was raped for being jewish even though my rape happened years before Oct 7th"

Goyim, I need yall to listen up now.

Do yall even know how much it fucking hurts to see post after post after post deny the same hate crime which happened to you?

Do you even understand the future ramifications of that? How jews will not be believed in the future now just because they are jewish?

I don't even know how to end this post in a meaningful way as I just needed to get this off of my chest so just take this.

Every time someone denies rape of one jew for being jewish, they are denying the rape of all jews for being jewish.

“Two sources familiar with the case but not authorised to talk publicly confirmed to Guardian Australia that a class action filed in New York was one of the possible avenues being considered.”

Hate to share the guardian (using “allegedly” when there are pictures, first hand accounts, none of the vile worms who attacked the jews Doxxed have been identified or even investigated, and the perpetrator !Natasha Frost! Already apologized and admitted to it is a wild fucking word choice. Also they put quotes around “creatives” in the article like a leftist would.)

let’s all pray and hope that both the nytimes and her get class action sued into bankruptcy.

Also they say “filed” not “filing” so maybe it’s already being done if the writer can actually use English correctly.

Since I was little kid, I remember my shul having police cars outside to protect us during high holy days, someone always monitoring the door, and security cameras showing all the entrances. After the Tree of Life shooting in Pittsburg, it heightened. My rabbi and cantor were once in the news after spending a day testifying against someone who had threatened to bomb our shul.

I was a bit older when I found out that churches don't have security. I was shocked. "So, you can just go in whenever you want? They don't even lock the doors?" I remember asking. The mom of a goyische friend of mine was equally shocked to discover that shuls do have security. "Why would they need security?" she asked me.

It was then that I realized that the amount of security we had - and every other shul had - was not the norm.
