I deleted my previous account (due to poor mental health) but I’m back.

Solidarity with the Jewish community.

Much love to you all.

I will always support you.

One in six young people in the UK challenge the official account of the Holocaust according to the Met police chief this weekend in the Times. If that isn’t petrifying, I don’t know what is..

I agree OP. We must all stand up to antisemitism.

There is some disgusting antisemitism that is rife currently. My grandmother was Jewish. My mother and I weren’t raised Jewish but I still have strong feelings to the religion. I have a Jewish surname, I love my heritage and stand with solidarity always against antisemitism. I was one of two children in my entire secondary school with a Jewish surname and I had some certainly very questionable things said to me, once by a teacher, this was 30 years ago now so I dread to think what would be said now. My DC don’t have my surname, they have their fathers.
I also think some people are being accused of antisemitism for being critical of the Israeli government. That is not being antisemitic. Showing support to Palestinians, is not antisemitism. Being opposed to the death of 1000s and 1000s of babies and children is not antisemitism. People getting called antisemitic for having views or opinions waters down completely the genuine meaning of antisemitism and it stops it having any real meaning. I hate the fact that in these times my grandmother would fear leaving her home, a woman who was evacuated, would have had to have lived in fear because of her religion from the start of her life until the end. Hatred for another person because they have different beliefs from yourself is so strange to me.

I agree with you RochelleMajerKrich.
It's like a terrible nightmare.

😭

I want to stand with the Jewish community..my heart is hurting when I think of what they’re going through

I want to set an example but I don’t want to ‘culture appropriate’ which makes me wonder if wearing those pins my husband ordered might be offensive

it’s so hard to know what’s right

at the end of the day we both just want to let Jewish people know that you are no alone

we stand with you

and we hate all the whataboutery which always raises its face when it comes to antisemitism

So so much love to the Jewish community here and abroad

❤️❤️❤️

My husband has just ordered two Star of David pins

The time has come to stand up and be counted

I agree. Fortunately, in real life I don’t know anyone who holds the type of disgusting views that are sometimes defended on this site.

I think a fair few Jewish posters have left (or been driven off of) MN in the past couple of years.

Who TF voted that you were being U? Confused

I don’t know 😭

I have posted on here in support of the Jewish community under three different usernames (over three years)

I am sorry for this, but I am also struggling with poor mental health

Just to be genuine and add some details: I am a German National, living in England with my British husband

And I want to once again add my support to the Jewish community

I am sorry sorry I went away

Here for you all x
