Islamophobic and anti-semitic hate crimes in the US since 10/7

[Anonymous]

Three middle schoolers in Maryland were charged with hate crimes after they displayed swastikas, acted out Nazi salutes, and made "offensive comments" about a classmate's religious beliefs, county prosecutors announced last week.

Happened in Calvert county. Initially, I thought it was overboard to charge hate crimes against middle school kids for something that was not physical. However, after reading the article it looks like they did this for months and did not stop even after being told multiple times.

I hope the kids can learn from this and become better people.

Why does our government refuse to charge these monsters as the terrorists they are? As a Jew, people ask why I am afraid of leaving my house. It is because these monsters are allowed to walk free. They should be facing the death penalty.

Charged for what? Ever heard of the first amendment? Facing the death penalty? You're nuts.

I'm not the PP and I don't think this counts as a specific threat, but this is the quote from the professional *therapist* that PP linked to:

Fatima Hassan is a therapist at Lotus Listen Therapy in Maryland. Responding to a tweet that read, “I stuffed em in the oven after I was done,” Hassan wrote, “F**king jew hope he screamed.” A gun & knife enthusiast, she also tweeted, “$1000 for a knife set? It better clean up all the evidence if I ever need it wtf.”


So while this doesn't sound like something that could merit criminal charges to a non-lawyer like me, I would think there should be some professional repercussions because people responsible for patient care have no business talking like that about anyone.

There is something deeply scary about the unholy glee people are expressing while they're screaming about the perfidy of the vile Jews. You folks are reenacting an ancient drama. In fact, it is a shame that the heckler above tried to bury this article, because it does a masterful job putting the current wave of anti-Jewish exhilaration into historical perspective:

Note the discussion of the long history behind "the durable idea of anti-Semitism as justice."

Like Darren Krugman, MD at Johns Hopkins? Assuming you think he should face at least as much in the way of consequence, and probably more?

You just can’t bring yourself to condemn anti Jewish hatred, can you? Also some “what about”, always some rationale that makes it ok. A woman talking about stuffing Jews into ovens and you can’t just reject that sentiment.

Do non-Zionist people actually have to stare the obvious? OF COURSE what she has apparently said is abhorrent!

Nobody is deserving of that. If she said that, she should be rebuked. Same with Krugman, but much more so because his station provided him with a platform to do much more harm than this moron.

Hatred of people is different than hatred of ideas and what they do to the world. Do you understand that? I would support every effort to dismantle an idea that, on balance, causes much more collective harm than collective good (like Zionism or Nazism), but the people behind those ideas would have to be evaluated individually.

This is the crap Jews are faced with. Whoever this is actually thinks this is a valid equivalence.

Damn. The parents definitely knew - sounds like they gave the perpetrators lots of opportunities to stop.

Related - we looked for a house in this part of Southern MD (Western Shore). If you drive around the backroads you'll see plenty of Confederate flags tucked away on houses, fences, old work trucks, etc. Pretty place, but I can definitely envision the parents of these kids saying they DNGAF about lil Brayden's anti-Semitic harassment.

Update on the Cornell student who made threats online against Jewish students back in October.

They were fake threats meant to garner sympathy for Jewish students and make people hate Hamas.
