"In his new book, #Antisemitism and the 1753 #Jew Law Controversy, author Yoel Sheridan, born and educated in #Britain, analyzes the ancient and long-enduring phenomenon of antisemitism in #England. Essentially what he demonstrates is an abiding #antisemitic element within #English society, ever ready to boil over into violence in earlier times, and later into hate speech and discrimination. Since antisemitism is essentially irrational, he demonstrates that the trigger for antisemitic action at any one time can vary with the religious, social, or political weather."
"As many as 35 #deathrow cases in a #California county could be under review for discriminatory practices, including the exclusion of both #Black female and #Jewish#jurors.
The cases in Alameda County date as far back as 1977.
During #jury selection in one murder case from the 1990s, the prosecution left handwritten notes about prospective jurors — including whether they were Jewish or Black.
“I liked him better than any other #Jew, but no way,” one note said. “Must kick.”
Berlin police raided and cut off electricity to the Palestinian Congress conference before banning the three-day event. Organizers say Germany’s antidemocratic authoritarian response to Palestine activism is growing by the day.
Ahh, the promise of improved targeting. So is it a #facebook failure or advertiser failure when a #Jew gets a #ramadan ad on a video about deep frying #bacon
Sure, they can vandalize one of my favorite restaurants close. They can accuse anyone who eats there of "Supporting Genocide". They can spray hate against Zionists and pretend that you're not antisemitic all you want, but they won't silence me.
"The way that they talked about #Zionism seemed like it was a synonym for '#Jew.' That seemed to translate into a…targeting of #Jewish stores, a wellspring of bullying against Jewish kids, and vandalism of #synagogues, and then all sorts of just random incidents that felt like you couldn't wish them away."
The mayor of #Berlin accused Yuval Abraham of antisemitism for calling for #Germany to stop enabling Israel's genocide in Palestine and an immediate dismantling the apartheid system during his #Berlinale award speech. This should be a wakeup call for Germans but unfortunately it won't be, because for them #antisemitism is merely an alibi for supporting genocide; #German society routinely hazes any #Jew who refuses to provide that alibi, arresting protestors and smearing us with accusations of antisemitism for upholding the core Jewish duty of opposing #Zionist politics as inscribed in the Gemara of Ketubot 111a:4 of the #Talmud (most explicitly, but also appearing in various shapes and forms across countless other tractates from Berachot to Avoda Zarah)
"The book explores the inevitability of #antisemitism that’s systemic and endemic, and I wanted to see what happens when that fact of life is not tied, for instance, to interwar economic problems for which #Jews can be used as a scapegoat. I was experimenting with the idea of, what does antisemitism look like without history books?"
"As the Holocaust becomes recorded history only, the book is a reminder to check some of the overconfidence I have about my position being alive as a #Jew. It’s more tenuous than I think most people realize. I experienced it to be more tenuous. It feels like there are no guarantees, which I think is bearing out a lot over the last few months."
"The National Library of #Israel announced on Thursday that it received the world's largest collection of #Yemenite#Jewish manuscripts. The collection, some 60,000 texts, both complete and fragmented, includes rare items such as copies of works by Maimonides and Rabbi Yihya Saleh in Judeo-Yemenite." 🤤
This is a small p popular post. If folks love the idea of saving these historic #Yemeni#Jewish manuscripts please learn about Levi Marhabi.
Marhabi is the last #Jew alive in Yemen and imprisoned in a #Houthi controlled dungeon for allegedly trying to save more manuscripts like the ones in this collection.
“I support #Hamas, you f–king #Jew,” a Roosevelt player yelled at a Leffell opponent, according to The New York City Public Schools Alliance, a group of parents and teachers fighting #antisemitism."
New (greg calendar) year new #intro which is just a copy paste of my bio.
This is a primarily #Jewish themed account focusing mostly on diaspora issues with limited related Israel content from the perspective of a US left #Jew.

There's sooooo much going on in this story. So so so much.
“He comes by, he looks at the sign, and he says, ‘Nice. I’m a #Jew, too,’” Zippel recounted, noting that Irving then showed him a Star of David tattoo he has.
Zippel said he was annoyed by the comment, but did not want to cause a scene. He said he replied, “Nice. Happy New Year, buddy.”
After Irving took the pass and began to dribble up the court, Zippel said the point guard yelled to them, “Don’t gotta bring something like that to the game.”
A few moments later, Irving checked out of the game. It was during the subsequent timeout, Zippel said, that the trouble began."
"[W]hy are #Jews around the world held to account for the actions of the #Israeli government when this correlation does not apply to any other country? #Christians are not attacked for the predations of the United States, nor are #Muslims abused for the transgressions of Iran. Pakistanis are not vilified for the fact that their government is, as we speak, expelling thousands of refugees, mostly women, back to Afghanistan. Why does the perception of Jews as aggressors create deep unease in many? Is it that Jews are considered white, powerful and able to defend themselves? Or is the idea of the #Jew as the shifty, duplicitous outsider also powering a rhetoric across a society which blithely ignores history, reducing a multilayered human tragedy into a simplistic campaign of good versus evil?"
Forgotten until now, these female resistance fighters lured Hitler’s soldiers to their deaths: Judy Batalion and her history of women in the Jewish Resistance in Poland in WW2, The Light of Days.
This is true but not quite correct.
I listened to a podcast by @afelia some time ago. The concept of being a #Jew is 3 dimensional and complex and not limited to ethnicity. (I can't reproduce it correctly, though.)
Made 4 Magen David necklaces for Jewish people, Israelis or anyone who stands against the rising anti-semitism and would like to show support to Jewish people and make us feel safe. This sign is also considered a spiritual sign of protection by people of different faiths and genuinely I find it so beautiful and when it's the scariest to wear it, it's most important to.

My non-Jewish friends, do you find yourself feeling awkward when a #Jew wishes you a #MerryChristmas? Unsure what to say? Let me help you!
When a Jew wishes you a Merry Christmas, think of it like them wishing you a Happy Anniversary or Happy Birthday. It's a good wish to you, and to you alone.
Don't wish them a Merry Christmas back. If someone wishes you a Happy Birthday and you know it's not their birthday, you don't need to wish them a Happy Birthday back!
Don't mention Hanukkah. If someone wishes you and your spouse a Happy Anniversary, you don't need to say "Didn't you and your partner recently have an anniversary too?"
Wishing them Happy Holidays is OK, but unnecessary. If someone wishes you a Happy Birthday you don't need to say "I hope you have a good day too!"
Toronto Sun apologizes for its bizarro #antisemitic depiction of #Zelensky in particular and US funding of #Ukranian defense against #Russia more generally.
Nothing like big nosed thieving #Jew images to demonstrate the static nature of #antisemitism in the west.
Let's stop pretending people like Elise Stefanik care anything about antisemitism just because the left has its own problem with antisemitism. Stefanik can wear the ally badge when she demonstrates the moral clarity she demands of others by forcefully and unequivocaly calling out the antisemites in her own party, starting with its leader.
"A knife-wielding man broke into a #Jewish day nursery in Champigny-sur-Marne, near #Paris, and threatened the director with insults. “Dirty #Jew, dirty #Zionist, we’ll come and cut you up like in #Gaza”, the attacker shouted at the 45-year-old mother."
