"Even if you’re someone with the most prolific knowledge of #Jewish #American #history, you may not have heard of the small #Caribbean island of #StEustatius. But its Jewish community played an important role in the #AmericanRevolution.

The First Salute, a new exhibit at the Weitzman National #Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia, highlights the important role #Jews across the Americas, especially in St, Eustatius, played in the American Revolution.

“When we talk about American Jewish history, most people’s brains immediately go to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty and the turn of the 20th century,” Josh Perelman, a senior advisor at the museum, said in an interview. “However, in the 18th century, there were Jewish communities in #NorthAmerica, in the Caribbean, in #SouthAmerica.”

"In a new #study, #researchers introduce the dual threat model of #antisemitism, which highlights the central role of perceived #Jewish power in fueling antisemitism, and they discuss its implications for interventions aimed at curbing antisemitism.

The study, “The Perils of Perceived Power: The Dual Threat Model of Antisemitism,” was conducted by researchers at #CarnegieMellon #University, #Reichman University, #Stanford University, and #BostonUniversity and appears in #AmericanPsychologist.

“Antisemitism remains a significant issue, reflected in harmful #stereotypes, #prejudice, #discrimination, and #hatecrimes against #Jews in the #UnitedStates and worldwide,” explains #TayaRCohen, Professor of Organizational Behavior and Business Ethics at Carnegie Mellon’s #TepperSchool of Business, who coauthored the study.

“Our model offers a framework for understanding the social, psychological and ideological roots of antisemitism."

The #Data of #Disillusionment...

#Netanyahu's wanton wave of destruction against #MiddleEast neghbors has broken the bedrock #bipartisan support #Israel once got in #USA. For decades the only issue seemingly capable of uniting a fractured #Congress, was support for the "Special Relationship" with Tel Aviv...

#SurveySays now that in a tighter economy, with US soldiers at risk, and no clear path to peace, US taxpayers are finally fed up with filling that bloody trough ... with even US #Jews showing 56% disapproval for the US taxpayer sponsored hebrew hellfire in the "holy land", amongst an 80% unfavorability rating from US #Democrat voters.

I know i’m a bit late to this but if #Israel is attacking #catholics and #trump is attacking #catholics are we heading towards a 3 way war. #muslims vs #jews and #evangelists with the added twist #catholics vs #jews and #evangelists. I know this may come as a big shock to #trump but most people who speak #spanish and/or #portuguese, there are a lot of them, are catholic. We can then start talking about the #french and #irish. I have no idea where the #anglicans will fall.

This is getting very messy. My whole life religion played so little part of my friendships and yet here we are back to the bad ol’ days.

Today in Labor History April 19, 1943: The 50,000 Jews remaining in Warsaw began a desperate and heroic attempt to resist Nazi deportation to extermination camps. Their armed insurgency became known as the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. It was the largest single revolt by Jews against the Nazis during World War II.

There had been over 3 million Jews living in Poland prior to the Nazi occupation. The Nazis rounded them up and forced them into crowded ghettos. The Warsaw ghetto had 250,000-300,000 Jews living in abominable conditions. Roughly this same number of Jews were slaughtered at the Treblinka concentration camp within the two months the Nazis started deporting them. The Warsaw Jews managed to stockpile Molotov cocktails, rifles, hand grenades, military uniforms, and even a few pistols and some explosives. However, the resistance was crushed by the Nazis on May 16.

Organizing for the uprising, and military training, were provided by the left-wing, youth-led Jewish Combat Organization and the right-wing Jewish Military Union. However, the Jews knew from the start that the uprising was doomed. Most of the Jewish fighters did not expect to survive. Rather, they saw their resistance as a battle for their honor and a protest against the world’s silence. Marek Edelman, one of the few survivors, said their inspiration to fight was “not to allow the Germans alone to pick the time and place of our deaths.”
