If things get worse for Jewish people

[Anonymous]

This, from Adrienne Watson (NSC), is good: “The United States vigorously condemns the antisemitic protests in Dagestan, Russia. The U.S. unequivocally stands with the entire Jewish community as we witness a worldwide surge in antisemitism. There is never any excuse or justification for antisemitism.”

Can someone please tell Karine Jean-Pierre?…

There are 3 colleges my son was supposed to apply to that are now on the chopping block. Does that answer your question?

Curious as to which 3. Wasn’t there an incident at Brandeis? I thought I heard something and was super shocked. Like how can Brandeis not be safe?!

Brandeis is only about 35% Jewish. People who hate Jews tend to target places they know we’ll be.

Colleges with outsized concentrations of Jewish students seem to have become targets for especially strident pro-Palestine protests: Tulane, Brandeis, Cornell, etc.

Like moths to a flame.

I thought it was an incident within the student body. It would surprise me that people who hate Jews would actually choose to go to Brandeis just to be jerks to Jews there.

Columbia seems like hell on earth for Jews.

Yes and yes.

Things will get worse unless we deport all students on Visas that are protesting at these colleges.

I just hung the biggest mezuzah I could find on our door, and have 3x5’ U.S./Israel flag flying on our front porch. I want to attract exactly the type of people who’d start something. Better they come to us where they’ll be dealt with and made examples of, than to you. I’m ready to defend what’s ours. Vigorously.

I think I drove by your house the other day? Do you live just outside Fairfax City.

I thought your flag display 2 Israeli Flags and 2 American flags and a broken 6 foot menorah to be a bit odd. My first thought was a looney lives there.

I really hope that person was a troll pretending to be Hamas. It sounded almost cartoonish, the lines he was using - because a real Muslim wouldn't say "pig Jews", since Muslims also don't eat pork.

Disabled, chronically ill people who are routinely victims of medical abuse, medical neglect and domestic violence, and whose suffering and s**cides are invisible because being disabled and chronically ill makes you invisible, are suffering more than Jews are right now, I assure you. You just never looked or cared to see, because you're privileged, self-righteous, and you benefit from how an ableist society makes these people inaccessible.

The absolute entitlement and arrogance just takes my breath away. No Susan, there's a lot of suffering in the world. Get over yourself.

I’m Jewish. My family moved from DC to San Francisco for work last year and we have a vacation home in New Orleans. After seeing what’s going on in progressive SF we flew with our 1 year old and 2 dogs right back to NO (fortunately we can work from home) and feel safer here for now even after seeing the brawl at Tulane. We’ve found our neighbors here to be more supportive. Our Jewish friends in SF are removing their Star of David and chai jewelry, removing mezuzahs from their door, changing their last name to sound non Jewish on food pickup or delivery orders out of fear. Many Jews feel uncomfortable right now.

All of this is awful - nobody should have to cloak their identity for fear of the harm that might occur otherwise.

Full and complete rejection of what the State of Israel has been doing for the past three weeks (and for most of what it’s done since its inception), but 100% supportive of fighting as an ally against the actual anti-semitism that’s going on right now.
