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.

If that's how you interpret what I said more power to you but that's not what I said.

Not the PP, but that effectively is what you said.....that antisemitism isn't "as bad" as bigotry againt others, and you are diminishing it.

Plus, did you actually say, in your effort to prove Antisemtism isn't all that bad, that Jews aren't as disrespected as convicted criminals? That's what you're coming up with now? Well then, that makes me feel better. Jew, or burglar? Jew, or violent assaulter? Jew, or rapist? Eh, as bad as them Jews are, I guess rapists are worse. Thanks a heap.

I said the most universally disrespected, disregarded, and discriminated people here in the district are the homeless followed by the impoverished and the imprisoned. Anything else you gathered from that statement is your narrative not mine.

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

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.

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?

No, I was questioning the idiotic general statements about Jews from the PP.

Idiotic to say that Jews are an identifiable minority?

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.

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.

A pretty straightforward, and simple statement. This shouldn't be hard, but neither the leadership in the District nor, apparently many posters in this forum, seem to embrace.

Please educate me as to the fallacy in thinking in this article.

Love Colbert King. Now waiting for some of the Jewish leaders who embraced Trayon to make a statement.

They can blend in if need be, like they are being advised to in Germany. It’s a shame it’s come to that.

Yes, they are. Antisemitism is on the rise in Germany, as it is elsewhere throughout the world, and Jews are asked to "hide" their religion.

And is that the excuse for antisemtitism that the other PP is giving? That one can pretend they're not Jewish? Even if other clues didn't "out"* them, let's take this to its logical conclusion: Antisemities will be encouraged to come out even stronger, because the result is that Jews will be driven underground to avoid the abuse, and voila! - they have put them in their place and for all intents and purposes rid the world of Jews.

*Would the PP here excuse bigotry against gay people by telling them they just have to pretend to be straight? That way, we don't have to see or interact with them right?

- OP
