The world we live in is insane.
At my old job, a coworker said after Trump was nearly assassinated, “I wish the shooter didn’t miss.”
I said that was a crazy thing to say, regardless of how much you hate the guy. She reported me to HR and I just got a watch what I say, nothing happened.
Same coworker would constantly say “Free Palestine,” then went way beyond politics, saying Jews were “ruining the world” and shouldn’t be allowed to live freely.
I pushed back on that too as idk how I can keep my mouth shut.
Guess who got written up?
Me.
Eventually I was let go for “performance issues.”
Free speech is funny like that.
Every antisemite here keeps repeating the mantra that Israel has nothing to do with Judaism and it it antisemitic to conflate those two, but for anti-Zionists to use the most sacred day for Jews to bash Israel and attach the libel of genocide to it - no problem

October 7, 2001. Al Jazeera airs Bin L@den’s first words after 9/11. Twenty-five years on, his speech still tells us what Islamism actually wants.
He named Jenin, Ramallah, Beit Jalla. He said America would never know security until there was security in Palestine, and he closed the entire statement on that line. The Palestinian cause was the centerpiece.
This is the playbook: laundering violence through a manufactured grievance, making the world debate your “cause” instead of your crime.
Here’s what people keep missing: “Free Palestine” isn’t a call for coexistence or a two-state solution. It’s a theological claim. Land once under Islamic rule is Islamic land forever, and its “loss” to a sovereign Jewish state isn’t a political dispute, it’s a rupture in the natural order. Dar al-Islam doesn’t shrink. It only expands. Every retreat is an offense that must be reversed.
That’s why bin L@den reached for Palestine before he reached for anything else. Not because he was a humanitarian. Because Palestine is the loudest example of the reversal Islamism cannot accept: Jews with sovereignty on land Islam once held.
Twenty-five years later, the slogans on Western streets are the same ones bin L@den used to justify mass murder. Most people chanting them have no idea whose script they’re reading from.

When I was a lawyer at Gibson Dunn in D.C., we took our summer associates to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. A survivor spoke to us and said something that stuck with me:
Lawyers need to know the holocaust did not begin with camps. It began when Jews were removed from institutions - above all, legal institutions. Judges stripped of their robes. Lawyers disbarred. Then, when law-groups were Judenrein, they codified laws that made discrimination systematic and "legal."
First, you remove the Jews from the institutions. Then, Jews can be discriminated against without representation.
On Monday, Mayor Mamdani announced his 18-member Advisory Committee on the Judiciary. The Committee was promised to be "truly reflective of New York City."
Not one of the 18 is Jewish.
Not one Jewish attorney, former judge, or law professor - in a city where one in eight residents is Jewish and even Justice John Leventhal, recommended by the State's Chief Judge, was rejected.
It is estimated that over 50% of the New York bar is Jewish. That means there is a 0.0004% chance of no Jews being selected to the Committee.
Mamdani’s marginalization of Jews has been ongoing, and few voices on the Left have spoken up.
On Day 1, Mamdani revoked the IHRA antisemitism definition (top priority); he changed the NYPD guidance protecting houses of worship, eliminated Jews from the City's immigrant-heritage map, called for the arrest of the prime minister of the only Jewish state, and now created a Judenrein Judiciary Committee.
My grandmother, Leah, survived Nazi Germany. Before the laws, before the violence, she told me how she was pushed out of her high school groups. Then, once excluded from all activities, she was bullied and marginalized.
We are already seeing Step 2 in NYC. Two weeks ago, on a Jewish Holiday, two men were stabbed outside Upper West Side synagogues - one wearing a kippah- and yesterday, Jewish students were attacked. Every 26 hours, there is a hate crime against Jews in NYC.
In NYC, there is a concerted effort to disappear Jews from public life and leadership.
No one on the Left is speaking out. If this discrimination was happening to any other group, the chorus would be deafening.
To be clear, Jews will find a way. Many are already taking their talents elsewhere. When white-shoe firms shut Jewish lawyers out, they built firms that now dominate. Cardozo, Louis Marshall, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg all found a way despite discrimination.
But NYC will be worse off without us. A city government that is judenrein - cleansed of Jews – does not just hurt the Jews, but hurts the city.
The tragedy is not just that Jews were left out of the institutions. It is that the institutions were left without the Jews.
If you see this and have not yet spoken out, I encourage you to do so.
@ThatLineGuySky@CUNY_Prof@EinhornGabe@AustinFranco123 regardless of her political beliefs - does she want you posting her to random stranger Jews in the comments section?
If she doesn't you shouldn't be doing it.
If she does then that's a whole different can of worms to unpack ����.
@ThatLineGuySky@CUNY_Prof@EinhornGabe@AustinFranco123 Wife: what has my successful, happy, and totally well-adjusted husband been up to today?
You: Oh not too much. There was this Jew on the internet who suggested I was unemployed so I sent them a photo and video of you. I totally showed them!
