Someone wrote on the school sign by the road, "Jews not welcome."

This is a joke?

How many signs or, worse, school officials are saying whites not welcome?

You realize....Jews are white in this country?

And, impotence.

There might even be some people in Kensington (and many other areas) whose parents and grandparents listened to the virulently antisemitic father coughlin radio shows, among others. So much more, but there's a start.

A hundred blm/ antifa riots bs some pickle bs.

Ahhhhh the terrorism!

In Eastern Europe, if you grew up there, you may not have encountered Jewish people. This is because the Nazis and local collaborators murdered almost all of them. What happened to all of their homes, businesses, and belongings? They were all immediately stolen, fully extorted if not stolen immediately, and then looted (down to the clothing of recently murdered people) by local collaborators.

Many peasants believed longstanding myths totally made up and fabricated about Jewish people, initially based on the idea that somehow Judas was responsible for the death of Jesus, who was also Jewish.(And many other peasants did not believe or perpetuate these utter lies).

In the US, some folx brought over antisemitism with them. In the early part of the 1900s there were super antisemitic radio shows and propaganda sponsored by the foxtv of that era.

But why are these antisemitic incidents happening at MCPS when there are a lot of Jewish students and teachers? Seriously asking - does anyone know the cause root? (not from US originally).

There are a lot of root causes. Probably a mix of the following, and you might weight them differently than I do but I think all are in mix:

1) Jewish stereotypes have persisted for centuries, and there remains a lot of prejudice against observant Jews in particular because non-Jewish people find the degree to which they hold themselves apart to be unnerving;

2) There is a peception of Jews holding outsized wealth and influence, which leads to resentment;

3) Antisemitism and racism walk hand-in-hand, as a core tenet of racism is that non-Whites are inferior so if they are organizing themselves or doing well there must be a shadowy white-adjacent figure behind the scenes;

4) Teenage edgelords are jerks, and they are picking up antisemitism online.

Lots of social media pushing this stuff, and right wing nut-jobs not pushing back against it.

Also impotence.

Also, incompetence and insecurity.

There's a lot of bullying going on, it's just that Jews use the megaphone much more than Asians and other-whites for example.

Ignorance, scapegoating, sadism, envy.

I like the article , I'm Jewish so maybe you hate me because I'm Jewish, at Isha Yiras Hashem substack.

Basically, this is normal. Bad, but normal. Protesting it won't do much.

At all three schools?
