A number of people on the left don’t think they’re capable of bigotry and will reshape reality to conform to that view. Or perhaps they just stretch very far to try and cover it up.
"Security concerns relating to the situation in the Middle East have forced Kraków’s annual #Jewish festival, which is one of the largest in #Europe, to cancel the public concert that is normally the centrepiece of the event. The decision was made after consultation with the police.
The Jewish Culture Festival has been taking place since 1988 and is seen as an emblem of the revival of Jewish life and culture in a country where Jews once made up 10% of the population but were almost completely wiped out in the #Holocaust."
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.
Clearly those kids were super secret mossad midget agents who have a direct line to Bibi's office, don't you know. They can stop the war right now, obviously, all by themselves. Because of course nobody attacking kids playing on a playground is antisemitic. They're just anti-zionist, of course, since we know beating up kids in New York is all about a government halfway around the globe.
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.
By the way 19th century German race science says your blood quantum is diluted anyway hebmugglebrews.
@dukepaaron They continually move their accounts after they get blocked and suspended for antisemitism and then make new ones and come and follow the Jews. Some place ya got here, Fediverse.
Hooboy... the largest left populist movement in the world is wild.
“No cause can justify such degradations that dirty the memory of the victims of the #Shoah and of the Righteous who saved #Jews at risk to their lives,” she said"
@TonyStark after this famous photo was taken they answered the phone of of one of the victims and told his wife her husband was dead and then they marched through the streets one of the holding up a heart in the air.
This incident is what the red hands stuff refers to.
Gross shit happens in conflicts. Choosing to use those as symbols is fucking weird. Choosing to use those symbols to deface memorials to the dead on another continent is full cycle back to gross.
It's absolutely despicable. I used to be a lot further left than I am now (I've taken to saying I'm a liberal, not a progressive) and there was always this vomit-inducing undercurrent of antisemitism in it.
I began to wise up and close to door on that kind of politics last year and then October 7th happened and that welded the door shut.
I've also had to divorce myself from the LGBT community over it. So much antisemitism there too that was emboldened by Oct. 7th.
"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.”
