[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Jews did indeed ‘pass ‘, you don’t get to decide whose disconnected and who isn’t , it appears that you’re the one working hard to distance yourself from that reality but whatever dude , passing for white shielded them from the brunt of the white suoremacist structure this country was built upon . Facts [/quote]

I am not sure what you are arguing about. You may think that Jews "pass", but then you realize that they can be singled out as "termites" by someone with a bullhorn being held by a government official standing in front of the Wilson Building. One was even identified by name. That's reality.

Unless you can prove that individual is able to identity a Jew in a crowd ( doubtful but I’m willing to be convinced ), I don’t see your point [/quote]

Jews are extremely identifiable. They worship together, have Jewish schools, sometimes wear identifiable clothes, sometimes live in all-Jewish neighborhoods, and sometimes have characteristic features and names. [/quote]

How are Jews identifiable? Some look like Europeans others look like middle easterners. Do tell.
Yes, observant Jews worship together. Not all jews are observant.
There are "Jewish" schools, but just like Gonzaga, Sidwell, St Albans or DeMatha, not all students are of the religion of the school.
Identifiable clothes? Ph, you mean Hasidic Jews? There are like, what, 10,000 of those in the US. The rest wear clothes from the Gap or the Nike store or whatever you are likely wearing.
I cannot think of an all-Jewish neighborhood outside of parts of Brooklyn or the Suffern, NY area. Do tell, what are the "Jewish" neighborhoods in DC?
Did you know that there are non-Jewish people named Bernstein and Schwartz?

Your post reeks of ignorance.

I ... don't even know what you're trying to say. Are you trying to say that anti-semitism doesn't matter or exist because Jews have pale skin? [/quote]

No, I was questioning the idiotic general statements about Jews from the PP.[/quote]

Idiotic to say that Jews are an identifiable minority? [/quote]

In terms of physical appearance and clothing? Yes, absolutely.

Sure, if you see a bunch of people at a temple on a Saturday morning, they are likely Jews. But you see a person walking down the street, unless they are wearing a yamulka or dressed as a Hasidic, they are likely to look like others from Europe or the middle east. [/quote]
Not the PP you're arguing with, but let's say that were true. THAT's how you excuse antisemtitsm? That if the Jews don't like the racial or religious slurs against them, they can attempt to hide their Jewish identity? (I think I would be pegged for a Jew in a NY minute regardless.)

That's how Nazi Germany started, with that attitude. That Jews were less worthy of respect than "full" humans. And the DC Council, unless it takes action, is saying that Jews are less worthy of pushback against bigots than are other minorities. [/quote]

Everybody get off your pitiful plight pedestals for a second and bear in mind this is 2018 and in this day and age here in the District the only people universally disrespected as being less than human are hom, followed closely by the impoverished and the imprisoned.  Geezus this woe is me shit is nauseating.  You wanna experience true discrimination, disregard, and disrespect go throw some grubby clothes on and just stand around outside for a while.  I got money says regardless of your race creed color religion gender or sexuality damn near everyone will either avoid you like the plague or pretend you don’t exist.[/quote]

Way to deflect!! This is about Jews being called "termites." It's not about homeless people. I get it though - you believe anti-semitism isn't really a thing, and that Jews have no right to be upset about it anyway. [/quote]
Exactly!!! OP here. This thread is about how antisemtitsm is so accepted among DC leaders that a public official can stand outside a public building, holding the bullhorn while a Farrakhan substitute calls Jews "termites" - and there are no consequences. The fact that we have posters here (or maybe it's just one resentful antisemite) diminishing the rising antisemtitem as NBD shows hostility toward Jews, as if somehow biogtry against them should just be ignored.
