A former speechwriter called back to wordsmithing after discovering a massive stash of WW2 documents hiding in my father's papers. No DMs, porn, cryto.
This is probably a futile post on my part, because it does look like the poster @tuffluffjimmy won't let historical facts get in the way of antisemitism, historical ignorance, ad hominem attacks, and name-calling.
From Grok (because otherwise I will likely be accused of being a bitch, a demon, psychotic, etc., etc. as in a couple of postings....
“Jewish Americans provided the most disproportionate and impactful legal, financial, and moral support to the Civil Rights Movement relative to their population size (roughly 3% of the U.S. population in the 1960s.
“Legal support: Close to half of the white lawyers working on civil rights cases in the South were Jewish. Jewish attorneys played key roles in organizations like the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, contributing to landmark cases such as Brown v. Board of Education.
“Financial and organizational support: Jews were major funders and backers of groups like the NAACP, SCLC, and CORE. They helped sustain campaigns through donations, foundations, and fundraising efforts, with many northern Jews providing critical resources when Southern Black communities faced economic reprisals.
“Moral and activist support: Jews made up a hugely outsized share of white participants—often estimated at 30-50% or more in key efforts like the 1961 Freedom Rides, 1964 Freedom Summer (about half the white volunteers), and marches (e.g., Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel alongside Martin Luther King Jr. in Selma). Hundreds of Jewish rabbis joined demonstrations, and Jewish leaders offered public moral backing. This involvement stemmed from shared histories of marginalization, ethical traditions (tikkun olam), and alliances dating back to the early 20th century.
“While many other groups contributed—Northern white liberals, labor unions (e.g., UAW donations), Black churches and leaders as the core drivers, and some progressive foundations—the scale and consistency of Jewish American participation stood out among white ethnic/religious groups.”
READ what I wrote, the facts support the comment that American Jews were the strongest supporters of Black Americans during the Civil Rights Movement.
To call those who actively supported the Civil Rights Movement "apathetic whites" is either incredibly uninformed or deeply hateful.
Tikkun olam.
@Chahuapa@TerrinaMajnoona I agree, and throughout the Civil Rights Movement, Black Americans led the movement; Jews were among their strongest allies.
Tikkun olam.
@trumplicans2024 They might not "approve" of Trump, but they would most certainly recognize him as one of their own for putting his life, his fortune and his sacred honor (to paraphrase the U.S. Declaration of Independence) on the line to create these United States.
I was never a practising, observant Muslim.
Yet, even I wanted Islam to take over Europe and the West until I was a teenager.
We are taught that Islam's greatest achievements are conquest and colonialism.
We are taught that the greatest thing we could ever do is enable the invasion and conquest of non-Muslim countries.
This is a fact that only a former Muslim would tell you.
That face you make when you know the teacher who tried to suspend you is about to get SCHOOLED by your mom 🤣
Watch as this little dude, 12, from a Colorado school smiles after being pulled from class. The problem? The “Don’t Tread on Me” flag on his backpack.
His out of control leftist teacher falsely claimed the historic flag was associated with slavery. And she's in charge of TEACHING.
“So they're the reason that they do not want the flag is due to its origins with slavery and slave trade. That is what was, um, that's the reasoning behind them.”
Make this woman FAMOUS. And someone get us in touch with this kiddo so we can hook him up with some schwag.

You know what really hurt me?
As a Muslim, I used to say the Bible had too much detail and the Quran kept only the important parts. I thought simplicity made it superior.
I thought we had the same stories, just cleaned up, streamlined, and purified. Then I actually read the Torah, the Psalms, and the Gospels for myself.
And it wrecked me. Because I discovered that the details weren't filler.
They were the point. Names. Dates.
Bloodlines. Failures. Promises. Pain.
God was weaving one story through history with such precision that any later contradiction could be tested against what came before. Joseph wasn't just a successful man.
He was betrayed, enslaved, forgotten, and then chose forgiveness. Moses wasn't just the man who split the sea.
He doubted, struggled, failed, obeyed, and carried the weight of his calling.
The Quran gave me the events. The Bible gave me the heart behind them. And that's what changed everything.
I used to think the Quran was refined.
Now I believe it is redacted. Because the more I read Scripture, the more I saw that the details weren't distractions.
They were signposts. Pointing to one unified story.
One covenant. One redemption plan. One Messiah.
The moment I stopped settling for summaries and started chasing the full story was the moment I met the
Author, and that changed my life forever.
@LizaRosen0000 More and more, I have come to the belief that Israel is the only place on earth where its government fulfills its first obligation: protect its citizens and residents.🙏✡️🇮🇱
