There were those who called the Nazi persecution of Jews “fatal encounters with law enforcement” while it was happening. Today we call them what they were— collaborators.
I’m nearly 50. I don’t use TikTok. I listen to NPR Morning Edition and read the Financial Times daily. I’m a lawyer who has worked on Israel-Palestine issues for the last 20 years. The evidence I’ve seen that Israel committed atrocities including genocide in Gaza is overwhelming.
The swastika is not a “divisive symbol.” It is the emblem of Nazism, white supremacy, and the genocide of six million Jews, a symbol American troops died by the hundreds of thousands to defeat.
The Trump Administration’s decision to reclassify it as merely “potentially divisive” is indefensible. We cannot allow our government to downplay the symbols of fascism.
“They think the lesson of the Holocaust is…you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people.”
Yes, that’s what they taught us in Hebrew School.
That “Never Again” applies to genocides committed against all of God’s children, not just Jews.
That includes Palestinians.
Not only do you not speak for our community, you’ve abetted the danger to it.
You praised Trump as he used false claims of antisemitism to attack migrants, colleges and basic rights, while he stoked rightwing antisemitism.
You sacrificed our safety in a way Mamdani never would.
This is open bigotry against New York’s first Muslim mayor, who thousands of Jewish voters support.
The ADL has no such initiative regarding the Trump Administration, which employs extremists with ties to antisemitism. It even took down its Glossary of Extremism to appease them.
According to pre-election polls, Mamdani ran 2nd among Jewish voters. I bet that among young Jews, he'll be shown to have come in first. The arrogance and insularity of the "we" here is remarkable
"ChatGPT users had the lowest brain engagement and 'consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels.' Over the course of several months, ChatGPT users got lazier with each subsequent essay, often resorting to copy-and-paste by the end of the study."
just so we're all clear: the reason they're constantly bringing up "dolls" as their example is because they're trying to cast caring about material stuff as feminine, childish, and thus inherently shameful
BREAKING: The Trump administration will begin screening immigrants’ social media for “antisemitism.”
This will NOT fight antisemitism.
This is simply using Jews as an excuse to move a cruel, anti-immigrant, authoritarian agenda.
We refuse to be used this way.
The New York Times estimate of how many people would die from USAID cuts *this year* is just staggering. Nearly two million from AIDS relief cuts, half a million from vaccine cuts and from food aid cuts each, 600,000 from of malaria and tuberculosis cuts. Genuinely monstrous
if you as an American Jew do not want to be used as the excuse for the destruction of civil liberties and basic democratic protections, the time to speak out is right now
The greatest threat to American Jews today is the white nationalist movement, its enablers in Congress and Trump’s White House, and their efforts to take away our freedoms and build a country only for themselves.
That's why GOP hearings on antisemitism are cyncial & dangerous.
