I truly don't understand the demands to eliminate Hillel and other Jewish life college institutions.

"#Crisco is a #vegan #cooking fat and an icon of the #Ashkenazi #Jewish #American Dream.

For over a century, the strange, oily gloop has graced #kosher restaurants, holiday #cookbooks and hand-scribbled recipe cards in Jewish homes across the nation, becoming a (contested) symbol of Jewish American identity and #culinary tradition."

"A new exhibit opening May 22 at the #WingLukeMuseum of the Asian Pacific American Experience explores how three Seattle communities – Black, Asian-American, and Jewish – have faced prejudice, both in the past and in the face of rising hate crimes today.

Called “Confronting Hate Together,” the exhibit was created as a partnership between the museum, the Washington State #Jewish Historical Society, and the Black Heritage Society of Washington State."

The thing I miss about October 6th was that my Jewish news feed was filled with really cool interesting articles about Jewish history, art, food, culture, people, etc.

Now my newsfeed is basically The Jews suck.

Except the Jews on our side!

Left right or center we're constantly judged by our acceptance, or not, in someone else's culture.

There go those #jews complaining about made-up #antisemitism again. /s

"Footage shows a man dismounting from his bicycle and approaching a group of orthodox #Jewish children who were playing on the sidewalk.

Jewish children were beaten by an unidentified man in New York on Sunday night, according to local media.

Disturbing video footage showing the perpetrator assaulting and beating kids on Franklin Avenue on Sunday night."

Every 3rd fedi post: One time Bibi Netanyahu said something was antisemitism that probably isn't and another time some faceless person on the internet did that too.

So they've ruined the word and it's no longer useful and also other people are semites so what about that?!

Sorry Jews. It's your own fault. Also we should ban Hillel and Chabad from colleges. And if there was antisemitism it was caused by Israelis not antisemites.

"In that interview Evans, when asked whether “#Jews stole the election,” responded, “it’s a good question to ask right now.”

When Peters asked if it’s “over the line to draw the conclusion that #Israel had a whole lot to do with Jan. 6,” Evans responded, “No, it’s not.”

"As many as 35 #deathrow cases in a #California county could be under review for discriminatory practices, including the exclusion of both #Black female and #Jewish #jurors.

The cases in Alameda County date as far back as 1977.

During #jury selection in one murder case from the 1990s, the prosecution left handwritten notes about prospective jurors — including whether they were Jewish or Black.

“I liked him better than any other #Jew, but no way,” one note said. “Must kick.”

"With over 40,000 #Jews in #Mexico City, hailing from all different parts of the world, their culture and food is a beautiful mix of homely #Jewish cooking and authentic #Mexican #cuisine. It's this very blend that’s brought award-winning entertainer, television personality, and social media star, Eitan Bernath to unearth Mexico's hidden Jewish #culinary history.

Mexico City in many ways is a perfect microcosm of this diasporic history, with a Jewish population that spans #Ashkenazi, #Sephardi, and #Mizrachi #food stories all beautifully melding with traditional Mexican flavors."

The ability to turn anything into a nutty Jewish conspiracy is Europe's greatest gift to the world and modern society since the large hadron collider changed the timeline.

Fediverse: Biden is secretly controlled by Israel and the Jewish Lobby.

Jew: hey guys maybe tone down the anti-Jew rhetoric okay?

"Pro-#Palestinian protesters chanted “free #Palestine” outside #Auschwitz in Poland, according to footage shared by i24 journalist India Naftali on X Monday and multiple international media reports.

The pro-Palestinian #protest occurred during a march commemorating the victims of the #Holocaust on Holocaust Remembrance Day."

I grew up around a lot of survivors. I remember talking to my step dad's dad one time and you know these folks did not really talk about the holocaust. At all. And when they did it certainly wasn't around the kids.

So anyway, I forget the context of the conversation, but he said to me that "the thing to remember about what happened is that it's your neighbors that turn you in." We maybe talked three times in my life, but that is stamped in my brain.

Anyway, fuck allayall doing this kind of shit.

The worst elements of a protest movement don't negate the prime focus of that movement. They don't speak to its morality or sense of justice or whatever.

And at the same time every holiday being an escalation point and every tombstone or memorial to the dead or place where we worship, live, or work being a target is rage inducing.

There are only two things more boring than all of the competing antisemitism definitions:

1. Everyone freaking out about them and creating wild conspiracy theories;

2. Getting them goysplained constantly.

"Marjorie Taylor Greene has a lot of big feelings about the #Jews. Whenever the Georgia congresswoman opines on the topic, her thoughts are bound to produce some combination of hilarity and concern. Her latest musings on interfaith dialogue, in response to her vote against the #Antisemitism Awareness Act of 2023, skew much more toward the latter. Greene appears to imagine this act as a threat to religious freedom, and grounds her position in an #antisemitic trope that has led to violence against Jews for centuries."
