Not sure I agree with this or not. It assumes the places where we live are worth fighting for and I don't think they are. On the other hand I'm always ready to push back. 🤷‍♂️

"A society communicates its values through consistency. Hatred directed at #Jews must be treated with the same seriousness that any other form of #bigotry receives. When condemnation becomes selective, trust erodes.

#Jewish communities also face an internal decision about how they will respond. Fear can lead to retreat. Retreat may offer temporary comfort, yet it quietly reshapes identity over time.

Another response is possible. Communities can acknowledge danger without allowing it to define their future. Preparation and awareness can strengthen confidence rather than diminish it. #Schools, #synagogues, and community centers increasingly understand that training and preparedness save lives."

@dukepaaron omg I find these circular discussions so frustrating. I cannot relate when people are like: gasp! The thought of concealing my Jewish identity never occurred to me! How novel and destabilizing!! All that tells me is that they never wandered outside of their Jewish enclave. The only thing that changed is that the haters are now intruding into our safe spaces and can no longer be ignored.

I feel like I repeat myself on this constantly, but fleeing has been the Jewish survival strategy for millennia. Their comfy New York is the way it is now because just a handful of generations ago, their ancestors left their previous shitty places. It’s what we do, it’s smart, it works, and I don’t fight to live unsafely in other people’s countries.

@elana forgetting that is also a historical tradition. Unfortunately.
