Let’s be honest about who is saying these things - it is Muslims. There are a lot of Muslim taxi drivers and Uber delivery people. We have to be honest about where the antisemitism is coming from right now it’s coming from Muslims the same as in Europe. Steve Bannon was right. The antisemitic events happening in France and England right now are all from Muslim refugees or immigrants. It’s true. I’m not Jewish but I see the news I see who is protesting most of them are wearing hijabs.


Is it not true that late populations in both groups have been raised to hate/fear each other? Muslim groups are hosting pro-Palestinian rallies (as makes sense and the same way Jewish groups are hosting pro-Israel rallies) and no doubt that attracts anti-Semitic members. But I also see Islamophobia from the Jewish community - Amy Schumer seems to equate all Palestinians with Hamas, or the Jewish college girl who went viral after having a basic interaction with a neighbor then claiming she was terrified he wanted to kill her bc he was Palestinian.


No it's not true.
jews don't hate muslims at ALL. In most places, jews and muslims gravitate together. In london, both groups live in the same area.
Israel is not 'jews' and Palestinians do not equal 'all muslims'. this conflict is just making it so bc gen z is too lazy to learn history


This. There have been periods in history where Jews and Muslims lived together relatively peacefully. Then the British came.


The great irony is that the "pro Palestine" people are arguing for even more western meddling and intervention. For Pete's sake. The lack of self awareness is stunning.


Well the cat is out of the bag now; we send billions of dollars to Israel every year, so I would say the western meddling is fairly high. What is the alternative? Pull out completely including our aid?

This is Islamophobic and you are promoting the distrust of Muslims cabbies and delivery people. Muslims are your neighbors, doctors, plumbers, etc. Do not "other" them. This is what leads to hate crimes.

And people can protest peacefully. Do not equate peaceful protests with antisemitism. There have been many protests in the US the last few weeks and very few had any incidents. By and large they have been peaceful.


I have friends who are Muslim. I did not say all Muslims but the facts are that the student groups and protests are being organized by Muslim groups and yes the cab driver I am sure was Muslim. I did not say all but what I am seeing on campuses and the NYC protest were Muslims. They had swastikas.


NP. We can also be honest about where the Islamophobia is coming from - Jews. Is it all Jews? No, but are all Muslims spouting Anti-semitism? No. That’s what I find irritating about the dialogue. The Jewish population is smaller than the Muslim population, so proportionally, a larger percentage of the Jewish population is perpetuating hate of the other side. But the overwhelming dialogue is that they don’t represent all Jews, yet Muslims are painted as a monolith? Maybe the Muslim protesters only hate the Jewish population of Israel -‘is that okay? I would say no, but that seems to be the flip to the excuses made for Islamophobia against Palestinians.

Can you prove that the Islamophobia in the USA is coming from Jews?

This was obviously a facetious post, but the underlying point is dead serious and needs to be addressed:

There is tons of Islamophobia in the US, and it is clearly not coming primarily from Jews.

Difference is Muslims blew up World Trade Center, Boston Marathon, and other incidents. Jews are not blowing up things in the US and are not killing people in the US. Muslims have been linked to several terrorist attacks and have claimed to do so in the name of their religion. If people are afraid that is why.

The hostages aren’t in Philly! So why put them up in Philly?

I’ve never understood the hostage flyers


I can’t really understand the need some people have to rip them up. Are people who do this just miserable?


I was the OP of the thread about being concerned about suppression/retaliation of pro-palestine speech. There should be zero issue with the hostage posters, clearly the point is to call attention to the fact that there are 200 plus hostages still kidnapped with Hamas. We do not get to choose the speech that we want highlighted or permitted just because it fosters our own personal or political agenda.


+1 We need to humanize the hostage. Dead Palestinians, not so much


Who said not to humanize dead Palestinians?


Have you seen any posters of dead or missing Palestinian kids? When you see news reports, do you see the kind of background stories on Palestinian kids that you do on the hostages? You see wailing parents carrying a body and that's about it.


People could choose to make posters for Palestinians who have been killed.

It’s telling to me that pro-Palestinian posters do not do that. Instead, they just rip down posters for the hostages.


Well, for one those being killed and starved in Gaza have more important things to worry about than sending photos of their dead to friends and family in the US to make posters.

Also, I’ve commented before on this board that my Muslim friends here are afraid of identifying as Muslim for fear of retaliation. So there is no way they are putting up a poster like that or any other support of Palestine publicly. Plus support of Palestinians has been twisted to mean someone must hate Jewish people and they don’t and don’t want to be associated with that.

Why are they afraid? A boy has been killed, his mother stabbed, at least two people fired from their jobs. Plus after 9/11 many Muslims were interviewed by the FBI.


People who are identifiably Muslim have been ripping down posters without their faces covered, so spare me the “they’re afraid of being identified” crap. They also have been participating in protests nonstop.

A Jewish synagogue president was killed. A Jewish senator was threatened with her life.

Jews have been beaten up regularly.

So stop acting as though Jews are safe.


Notice how the Jewish synagogue President story disappeared from media. That’s telling. They know


What is this supposed to mean?

Yeah, definitely Islamophobic. A bunch of white men have shot up bowling alleys, bars, schools, etc. Doesn't mean we should be fearful of all white men.

Jews are expanding into West Bank and taking land from Palestinians. And the US Jews overwhelmingly support this. Have not heard all the anti semitic accusations whenever anyone criticizes Israel ?

Time to stop all aid to Israel and the us jews can emigrate to Israel if they want

I’m surprised no one in this thread had mentioned the guy that was arrested for threatening Senator Rosen?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/10/31/jacky-rosen-threats-antisemitic-messages/


I did a few pages back, but nobody seems to care.
Pretty sad, really.


It is really sad. I do fear more for my Jewish friends right now than my Muslim friends in the US. I’ve seen a lot of hatred thrown their way, on top of the trauma. Just because you sympathize with the plight of Palestinians doesn’t give anyone the right to terrorize Jews.


If these young people truly cared about the plight of those in Gaza, they would be marching and chanting "Release the hostages now" instead of "Ceasefire now."
The IDF is working to locate and free the hostages.


Israel has been clear that if Hamas releases the hostages, they will ceasefire. But the "pro Palestine" people don't want that. If they did, they wouldn't be tearing down the kidnapped posters and demanding a ceasefire. Instead they would be demanding a release of the hostages. I find their alleged concern for Palestinian lives disingenuous for this reason. The Palestinians are being used as props by Hamas and the liberal west is falling for it. It doesn't stand up to the slightest bit of scrutiny though, when you remember that releasing the hostages would instantly resolve this.

"Genocide" is metaphorical to them. Like the "genocide" of Palestinians. Whose population is growing much faster than Israel's and faster than most of the world. When you ask them what they mean by genocide, they have no response because they just mean it as a trigger word, a fnord to make people panic and not to think or challenge what they are hearing.

Trump's election was the beginning of the long-term rise in anti-Semitic incidents in the U.S. It's gotten worse every year since Trump's election.

Gee, I wonder why? He made hate and "f#ck your feelings" to thrive in their country, regardless of your political ideology. He made it acceptable to "other" your fellow Americans. Look at 4Chan, thedonald.win, Reddit (r/TheDonald), etc - that's where the newest round of anti-Semitism was normalized and all those little choads were crazy-vocal Trump supporters.

Look at this graphic, the trend is extremely clear. Anti-Semitism was going down throughout Obama administration then get turbo-charged during the Trump years:
https://www.statista.com/statistics/816732/number-of-anti-semitic-incident-in-the-us/

Once the genie is out of the bottle, it's nearly impossible to put back in.


Can you please show us some anti Semitic statements that Trump said? People keep talking about him being antisemitic and I'm interested in his statements about it. Especially since his daughter and grandkids are Jewish.


We’ve already posted them several times.

He said there were “good people on both sides” after Charlottesville.

He accused Jews of having dual loyalty.


Can you link to the dual loyalty statement?
