Just read these messages and try to tell me antisemitism isn’t real.
And these are just a few examples. I’m not a big time creator or anything, and yet I still get these messages everyday across all social media platforms. So I can’t even imagine what larger influencers and people are facing.
It’s been so normalized to hate Jews that there will be people in these comments that will still argue against it, saying it’s fake, or that this isn’t antisemitism. If you are a normal, sane human being, you can clearly see how disgusting this is. I don’t even know if these people are real or just bots at this point, but we need to do something about this. I think it starts with leading by example, and honestly just not even engaging with these people and giving them the satisfaction.
This is seriously not a normal reaction after rejecting employment because you didn’t want to work for Jews. That’s a textbook bigoted thing to say and it’s deeply un-American.
A normal reaction would be to say I’m sorry.
I hope this is not normalised in the USA.
“Not interested in working for a jew”
This kid applied to our job on handshake, we accepted him, and then he responded this.
He probably knows nothing about Jews accept for what they tell him in college and on social media. Sad world.
Sorry I’ve been so MIA. Been busy traveling.
In the last month, I’ve been to Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, and now in Israel. Some thoughts below on each of the places I’ve been to.
I’ve been asked different versions of the same question a few times over the last couple years:
“I introduced two people, and they’ve gone on to do a ton of business together, are they supposed to pay me something?”
Or
“This person asked me to introduce them to this person, and the meeting is set for next week. There is the potential it leads to millions of dollars in deals over the next few years. How do I ask for a fee?”
The answer:
Always make the intro. Never ask for anything. Always expect nothing. Maybe you’ll be surprised, maybe you won’t be. Be fine with either outcome.
