AMERICAN jewish ES students are slandering each other calling nonjewish children antisemitic and the parents are defending the bigoted behavior. This is disgusting. I am sorry but this is a hate crime as well. Perhaps all ES should have a mandatory Jewish cultural course so nonjews learn at a young age what is permitted or prohibited to say to jewish children.

Definitely neither (a) saying whatever the non-Jewish kids said or (b) calling them antisemitic is a hate crime. You can say whatever you want about Jews. Just don’t shoot us.

Why is it acceptable to go around branding children as antisemitic? Shouldn’t this be stopped?

What did the child say?

He said he felt bad for Palestinians then was branded antisemitic.

There’s probably more than that. But if that is all he said then it sounds like a misunderstanding between the parents. My rule of thumb is to let the school handle stuff like this and don’t respond.

People say the same on this site and are called the same. There is a real fear for people to say anything sympathetic or else lose friends, or be branded “pro-Hamas”, etc.

Start your own thread then. OP here is worried about violent attacks.

It just seems like we all need a thorough education on Judaism and what we are allowed to say to Jews without being branded as antisemites. It’s a fine line we’re walking. We need more education on the topic.

There’s plenty out there to educate yourself. I can tell you that every time a Jewish person posts on DCUM to relate sincerely a fear or an incident, the antisemites come out en masse to dispute and spew even more antisemitic stuff. So you need to understand the limitations of how you can expect Jews to educate you.

meanwhile if you feel like you should be allowed to say whatever you want then yeah you may cross lines.

It’s my DC I am worried about. I have come to the conclusion as long as I just have no opinion on Jewish topics I am safe.

That’s pretty stupid. I can’t really help you. You seem to just want to be lien that Jews are faking it, so go on then.

Are kids supposed to understand the nuance here? If one is nonjewish how and where will one learn this?

In addition everything DC has learned about Judiaism has been via his jewish peer, including vulgar terms directed towards Jews and the blacks as well.

“This one black kid was mean to my kid, so racism is fake.”

The jewish peer taught my son the K word, derogatory word for Jews, and told him to call a group of jewish kids that word. I had never even heard of that word.

And that proves … what? We’re talking about something totally different. You already got advice on how to deal with the school.

I didn’t say it was okay, I just said it wasn’t a hate crime.

This is a densely populated jewish area, you are automatically in the wrong if you offend a jewish person. The school did nothing here.

My Jewish elementary school kid wouldn’t know this was a slur if you called him it. But sort of sounds like this situation could be handled easily enough and has nothing to do with the war in Iran.

The school probably should not have done anything! A kid called another kid a name after a different kid taught him the name. Move on, everyone.

But now the peer, his family and their jewish friends in town believe my DC and likely myself are antisemitic. This is wrong and I shouldn’t have to apologize for anything.
