Jewish settlers stole my house. It’s not my fault they’re Jewish.

We were instructed to ignore the Star of David on the Israeli flag, and to distinguish Jews from Zionists with surgical precision. It didn’t matter that their boots were on our necks, and that their bullets and batons bruised us. Our statelessness and homelessness were trivial. What mattered was how we spoke about our keepers, not the conditions they kept us under—blockaded, surrounded by colonies and military outposts—or the fact that they kept us at all, writes Mohammed El-Kurd.

In May 2022, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei #Lavrov drew the ire of Israel & prominent #Holocaust remembrance groups when he claimed that #Zelensky’s ethnic background meant nothing & asserted that #Hitler, too, had #Jewish roots — a claim for which there is no evidence.

“For a long time now we’ve been hearing the wise Jewish people say that the biggest #antisemites are the #Jews themselves,” Lavrov said in an interview w/Italian media.

Goldschmidt has publicly warned other #Jews living in #Russia to leave.

“It was the only choice,” Goldschmidt said…, describing his decision to flee after the #invasion. “I woke up in a different country & w/a changed #political system that was totally #isolated from the rest of the #Western world. Under this change of circumstances, I highly doubted that there is a future for Jews in Russia.” Since his departure, Goldschmidt, has been listed as a #ForeignAgent by Russian authorities.

“My fear then, as well as my #fear now, is that there is going to be more #antisemitism under this new #political system which has been established since the #war began,” Goldschmidt said in a phone interview from Jerusalem. “And it will be much more difficult for #Jews & the #Jewish community to live & thrive.”

Speaking of #Russia’s “very long & difficult history of antisemitism” at various stages during the #Soviet era, Goldschmidt said he worries that the country is “going back to the past.”

From the 'good' Jews who were willing to convert, or at least hide their Jewishness during the #Inquisition to the 'good' Jews who served as Kapos to the #Nazis, anti-#Jewish #bigots have always found examples of Jews they like.

Fellow Jews, I have a request. What are QUESTIONS you have about the Jewish view on forgiveness - of others, of yourself? I’m planning to teach on this on Yom Kippur. The jewish perspective on this topic is quite different than the majority culture & is often counter intuitive. Example: are you required to forgive someone who hasn’t apologized? #forgiveness #yomkippur #Mazeldon #jews

Not the first time #Trump has equated being #Jewish with #Israel. Remember when he was talking to American #Jews and called the Israeli prime minister “your prime minister?” Classic dual loyalty trope and a complete misunderstanding of American Jews. He totally doesn’t understand American Jews—who I will add are mostly liberal. Might as well have called us haters and losers. Love old-fashioned #antisemitism in #RoshHashanah posts. Happy new year!

"Let's hope you learned from your mistake" is a threat, plain and simple. Of course Trump would deny that.

Rather than issuing a simple Rosh Hashanah greeting or just keeping his mouth shut, Trump instead uses the holiday to again reveal his only thought about Judaism: how much the Jews supposedly are indebted to him, yet they fail to be loyal.

Truly sickening.

Jews were not passive when faced with Nazi oppression.

' [German and Austrian Jews of all ages and backgrounds] destroyed Nazi symbols, protested in public against the persecution, disobeyed Nazi laws and local restrictions and defended themselves from verbal insults as well as physical attacks....

Some did it repeatedly, others just once. [This resistance] obliterates the common misconception of the passivity of the persecuted Jews. '

Hatred and #violence occurs outside of that which gets criminalised. #Hatred and (state) violence often gets expressed through criminalisation

@bp This was a situation where a Gentile was arrogantly yelling at a bunch of Jews, basically saying "Judaism is a religion! R-E-L-I-G-I-O-N! You can't be both a Jew and an atheist!"

In fact, the vast majority of rabbis, probably including most very Orthodox rabbis, would agree that a Jew who's an atheist still counts as a member of the Jewish people. But so many Christians think it's their place to try and dictate what it means to be Jewish. They desperately want being Jewish to work like being Christian, which it doesn't. It's its own thing. As I said, they need to listen more and yammer less about things they don't know about.

The issues you raise about conversions and Jews by choice are a separate conversation, I think.

This video "Is the Progressive Left Antisemitic?" is one of the best videos on modern antisemitism (both the right and the left) that I've seen in a while.

The video touches on the antisemitism in progressive spaces, including academia, and how Jews are deliberately silenced or even sometimes blamed for hatred against them. It takes a supportive but critical eye towards the concepts and structures of race theory and how they impact Jews.

As a left-leaning Jew, I found it's open acknowledgement of the pain I suffer from the people whose politics I identify with to be very validating, and I urge you to give it a watch, especially if you're not Jewish. Jews need our non-Jewish friends to understand what we're going through.
