Thank you for this clarity. There are many people who agree with you ( in Australia at least) but their voices are not as loud as the others. The world feels crazy and out of control, my optimism has become shaken over the years. I hope 2024 brings some compassion and common sense. Happy New Year Sis xxx

PS However, At the risk of making this about me, I did want to report to you that my relationship with my daughter has improved (I have made comments over the years about how difficult it was ). I always appreciate how you seemed to find the right words. Pure Grace!

Sally – It will never go away. I can’t say why, except as the world’s most ancient prejudice, it still seems to be useful whenever a scapegoat is needed.

Articulate and informative as always SW. Why won’t antisemitism go away already? We aren’t hearing enough about this, the first I heard from this perspective in Australia was from aussie Josh Szeps podcast and it really opened my eyes.

Thomas Isenberg – And now we have AOC and cohorts saying that Jesus was a Palestinian! It does not get more bonkers, does it??

Alison -You are much too nice! I’m mostly spouting facts from being immersed in history for the last few weeks. My own personal arguments seem so obvious to me, but evidently not to others. Thank you for taking the time to read this one!

SWJ – Yay, I’m glad we’re are the right side!

AR – Growing up with Holocaust survivors must have had it’s own intensity, I’m sure! It’s almost surreal to witness the anti-Israel and antisemitic wave that is sweeping the whole world. Every day I learn something new to stoke my anger… like the verb “israeled” being added to the dictionary of slang.

As a fellow Jewish person, I have been unable to watch the news for some time now, but this latest spike in antisemitism has frightened me on a level I did not expect to feel in my lifetime. We are about the same age but I was raised by two parents who were holocaust survivors. I was raised in a household that was over the top patriotic and my parents taught us to be grateful to be living in this country. This is the case with many immigrant parents, they pass along their love of country to their children. I was often told that the holocaust would never happen again, especially in this great country. Why are there so many people who have become so enraged and full of hate for Jewish people? The answer to hate has always been education and yet the schools want to ban books that teach valuable lessons of love and acceptance. Please keep speaking out on this topic. I am counting on you to use your immense writing talent to teach others. Thank you sister. xoxo

Thank you so much for speaking up. You clearly put a lot of time and research into this eloquent post. Couldn’t agree more.

I would never dare to speak for anyone else’s experience of anything at all— not even how a chicken sandwich tasted— because it’s not my experience. How would I know? I won’t make a comment on the content of your incredibly moving article, which, as you so rightly point out, I may not. But Jesus Christ you’re a good writer. I feel pretty strongly about that. Thank you so much.

In 2 words, fuck yes. Like you, I could go on for hours about this subject, perhaps days. Did any of the protestors or human rights faux experts on social media lift a hand for the Palestinians before Oct. 7th? Are they helping now? Will they leave their comfortable homes and handy keyboards to go to Gaza to help the beleaguered Palestinians. Again, in two words, Fuck No. To be graphic, if they or their daughters were raped, maimed, tortured and killed by an indigenous American Indian descendant, would they say, “Oh well, he and his people have been so downtrodden it’s okay, I understand.” They are Antisemitic hypocrites every bit as stupid, uninformed, biased as the worst of the MAGA’s.
