MimiRocah1I’m not sure people understand how terrifying things are for American Jews right now. Like many, my father barely escaped the nazis. So the fact that antisemitism is being normalized right now & NOT denounced by every leader of the 2 major political parties is frightening. We need to know our govt & our institutions will keep us safe & we aren’t sure now. This is a common feeling amongst Am. Jews right now. Please take the time to understand the fear & demand your leaders denounce it.
arescertainly it's not good to generalize from the people you know to an entire population
good friends for the last fifteen years are orthodox and went full maga over the last few years, moved to a red state, rail about woke mind viruses, etc.
not just them, but a whole community of their friends and members of their synagogue get together to gripe about migrants and stolen elections, and how great ted cruz is
they think the u.s. and euro left is the enemy and point to the bds movement, support for palestinians, etc.
they're thrilled about tfg's jewish son in law, moving u.s. embassy to jerusalem, new far-right coalition in tel aviv
they say accusations of right-wing #fascism and #antisemitism are just left-wing propaganda to distract from the real threat of islamic terror
are my friends and their community rare outliers?
how do we know if "american jews" in general are terrified of u.s. right wing antisemitism?
or if, like my friends, a large number of jewish people support the u.s. right wing because the u.s. right wing supports israel and israel's ultra-right-wing government?
