Fear of Antisemitism

[Anonymous]

Anecdotally my jewish friends in the US are by far more successful, connected, happy, fulfilled, living their best lives compared to almost all of my non jewish friends. Not only do they have the unconditional support, connections and networking opportunities from their synagogues and other jewish friends, but many have inherited wealth that most could only dream of. None of my non jewish friends attend church, they have no community whatsoever, minimal, if any inheritance and zero connections. Perhaps I only associate with the exceptions but these jewish individuals are not hurting or suffering from anything other than jet lag from their last international holiday. They have a vast network of support that many others lack due to not belonging to a particular religion or group.

How on earth are they remotely the same thing? Getting association affiliation revoked because you have unethical humanitarian views (physicians?!) is the same as being hated for just being?

This is zionist logic. Backwards and insane.

Do you want me to remind you how many people supporting Palestinian human rights have been imprisoned and deported, simply for having those humanitarian beliefs?

There are some Hasbara (Israeli propaganda) bots. You can tell how they cry wolf, then run away never to be seen again.

This person appears to agree with you? They’re saying doctors being barred from speaking because they spoke up for Palestinian rights is as bad as antisemitism. Not sure how that’s “Zionist logic,” whatever that means.

It was written by a die hard bigot. They make no sense and turn regular words into slurs, especially words related to Jews. But remember, they are only antizionist, not antisemitic. 🙄

So what’s your point? That all Jews have lots and lots of money and come from wealthy families and control everything including space lasers? They grown horns on their heads? They look down when they walk to pick up Pennie’s? They have big noses? They are cockroaches? What’s the antisemitic point you are trying to make here?

No, the point is that you could substitute Jews with any other religion, or cult if you will, and this is probably why antiquated religions continue in the modern day. It’s clearly beneficial for many to belong to an exclusive group and label, it’s more beneficial than detrimental for them. The conformity and groupthink is worth it for them. This is true for many religions or cults.

I mean, belonging to or joining a religion or cult is a choice. Not everyone is born into these groups and also some convert. It is always a choice in the US especially. There are pros and cons of religions. Religions/cults are extremely harmful even dangerous at times but simultaneously provide a bastion of normalcy and sense of belonging for members.

Like if the Amish felt threatened and targeted solely for being Amish they really don’t have to continue to be Amish correct? Clearly the benefits outweigh the risks with many members.

Your point is Jews are not hurt by anti-semitism because they are successful? Excellent.

I want to know specifically and individually how each of these seemingly comfortable, very happy, well adjusted, well educated, well traveled, well cared for connected people feel threatened solely for being jewish people.

Most supporters of Israel (and Israelis) are not “anti-Palestinian” - that concept doesn’t really exist. They get the situation and know that Gaza is run by a terrorist group that exists to see the destruction of Israel. They are for the end of Hamas.

Bottom line is also being an active member of a group or religion is a choice.

This is silly. Yes, Jews as an ethnicity are relatively successful. But we don’t know each other - the heads of business / entertainment happen to be Jewish, but they didn’t get any boost from a network or conspiracy or whatever. It’s just a bunch of individuals. Maybe they have similar values, but that’s it. All the successful Jews are not connected.
