@serge Can I ask what I can do because I answered the last one but I’m wondering if it’s enough to boost the posts of Jewish users talking about antisemitism and helping those I see put a stop to it when I can. I mean this in the most respectful way.

@Heimdall

You're the second person to ask, so now I'm feeling bad. You're on a server run by a good person.

I think my ask for you would when you see antisemitism, say something. Break the narrative without being a Jew.

That's not always easy to do, and I don't expect anyone to do it all of the time.

I'm reminded of a situation that happened about twenty years ago. I was at a gaming event and there were these two guys who I've come to learn (or at least speculate) were actually KKK members, and they talked to my friend and me- clearly looking to see if they had found some sympathizers.

They started talking about how "the Blacks took all the jobs" and how the "real minority in this country are white men". It was me and a white friend of mine.

At the time, I was pretty scared and I just made vaguely disapproving statements without getting specific. I was afraid they'd find out I was a Jew and hurt me.

Looking back, I wish I'd have said something and made a scene.

I don't think people should put themselves at risk, but if you are part of a conversation and someone talks about the "bloodthirsty Zionists" or whatever, interrupt their narrative.

If more people did that, made it not socially acceptable to be antisemitic, it would go a long way.

@serge Definitely will do that and if anyone out there needs assistance, feel comfortable tagging me. I realize that’s more passive but I don’t read as much as some people and don’t see as much as maybe I could.

@Heimdall

@serge

I also selected the final option. I have read your response to @Heimdall and will do everything within my power to assist you.

@ClintBarton

Aww, you rock. Both of you.
