This is peak America.

Guy signs rental agreement that apt keeps kosher then tries to renege. Redditors recommend cooking revenge bacon to teach that nasty Jewish roomate a lesson.

They should have little virtual pitchforks and torches.

"A Wider Bridge has called upon #Pride organizers across the country to ensure #Jewish people can safely participate in their events.

The group, which “advocates for justice, counters LGBTQphobia, and fights #antisemitism and other forms of hatred,” sent a letter to the Capital Pride Alliance and more than 60 other Pride organizers."

Calling for the expulsion of Jewish organizations at Pitt while still claiming to not be antisemitic is an interesting intellectual exercise but not one Jews are going to pretend not to notice.

It seems that the teens (19yo and 17yo) that were changed with felonies in Pensacola for last July/august's spree of vandalism (including the "white lives matter" brick being thrown through the Chabad window) have decided to take a plea.

I expect the next couple of days at work to include a decent number of people telling me about Mexico electing a Jewish president having never talked to me about anything Jewish ever other than wishing me a happy holidays 3 weeks after Chanukah.

"Seventy of these acrylic #paintings are the subject of a new exhibition titled “(post) #JEWISH… #Shtetl Opatów Through the Eyes of Mayer Kirshenblatt” at Warsaw’s POLIN #Museum of the #History of #Polish #Jews.

Kirshenblatt painted from memory: the synagogue, men washing in the mikvah ritual bathhouse, the cemetery, townspeople, school scenes including a pupil being flogged by a teacher, an illicit cigarette factory, the illegal slaughter of a cow, bagel sellers, a water-carrier, circus performers.

There were no forbidden subjects. One painting depicts a visibly pregnant bride at her wedding, and another features the town’s two prostitutes, Jaźdka and Świderka."

"A prominent #rabbi from #Brussels who once criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for calling on #European #Jews to move to #Israel now asks the #Jewish state to prepare for a wave of immigrants from the continent due to #antisemitism.

“My message to the #Israeli prime minister today is not as sure as it used to be,” says Menachem Margolin, head of the European Jewish Association lobby group in Brussels, at a conference in #Amsterdam on combating antisemitism.

“Today I say to Israel: We are not there yet, but be ready, get your government agencies ready,” Margolin says."

Antisemitism and holocaust revisionism is horrible but it's the Jews who do it is certainly a very special Fedi-vibe... :100_oy: 🤯 :100_vey:

I am sick of these antisemitic losers directing harassment towards Babka. If you chat with either of these people, know they are directly responsible for the Fedi being a hostile and unsafe space for Jewish people

@RustyBertrand Grrrrr. Seems only 3 groups have the power to silence real life humans on the internet (the only "society" left for the disabled. Billionaires, Zionists and white male to female transitioners. How do the disabled, the dickless non-feminine people, trans masc, black, brown, and indigenous get this power? I'm sure we'll be told when we are allowed to speak.

"In his new book, #Antisemitism and the 1753 #Jew Law Controversy, author Yoel Sheridan, born and educated in #Britain, analyzes the ancient and long-enduring phenomenon of antisemitism in #England. Essentially what he demonstrates is an abiding #antisemitic element within #English society, ever ready to boil over into violence in earlier times, and later into hate speech and discrimination. Since antisemitism is essentially irrational, he demonstrates that the trigger for antisemitic action at any one time can vary with the religious, social, or political weather."

Dear Dr. Cohen,

I understand you got a complaint about last weekend’s Bonfire Jambor33 at our school. You don’t strictly need to worry about responding — this family writes to complain about literally every cultural event we have at our school.

As a reminder, Israel has conscription. Most Israelis have served in the military, and in fact this artist seems to have served in my year, which was 24(!) years ago. Banning folks who served in the IDF is akin to, well, just banning Israelis.
