AIBU to post solidarity with the Jewish community here?

[RochelleMajerKrich]

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.

No @cantstartagain, it isn’t. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a previous thread inviting me to express my solidarity for my Jewish friends, so I am taking the opportunity to tell them I love them.

Feel free to move to another thread if this one isn’t your thing.

In contrast, threads bashing Jewish people are a dime a dozen, so how great to have one reassuring them how loved they are 🥰

Just to add to the ‘genuine vibe’

Yes, and naming nomas was out of order.

The OP wasn't 'chased away' by anyone.

But if I remember rightly, her motives in starting so many threads that many considered performative, was called into question at one point.

Well, I could have stopped working with my Israeli colleague but I don't. It could impact who else is prepared to have me work with them.
Is that performative or is that about my livelihood? Or is it just a very very small gesture of solidarity with a friend.

Sending solidarity to the Jewish community who have lived peacefully on this island for
centuries. This is your home, you have as much right to be here as anyone else.

So sorry you felt you had to leave Mumsnet Rochelle and welcome back.

I’m horrified that I now live in a country where a 76 year old is stabbed while waiting at a bus stop because he looks Jewish or a father is killed for attending synagogue. Yes, solidarity with Jewish people in the UK on Mumsnet and beyond. We want you safe from this sort of harm and from the fear of this sort of harm.

And so say all of us!

Seconded

Absolutely horified by some of the posts on here recently.

And whilst i fully support peoples right to protest, yoy can't use that to intimidate people of a religion which has been persecuted for centuries. Rather sad that attitudes of some haven't moved on from Shakespearean times when it comes to antisematism.

100% this

I think the difference is whether the action is mainly symbolic or whether it involves an actual personal choice with consequences attached.

Deciding to continue openly supporting or working with someone despite possible backlash is a real life action that could materially affect you, so I wouldn’t call that purely performative.

Posting “I stand with X group” on an anonymous forum isn’t a bad thing but it is mostly symbolic. It doesn’t cost the OP anything or require them to act differently in real life, which is why it’s being described it as performative.

Well that and

"I am sorry sorry I went away"

"Here for you all x"

I'm sure the OP's heart is in the right place, but her previous threads/comments did seem to get a lot of Jewish people's backs up.

You really need to stop calling anyone who disagrees with you an antisemite

Ok, and you see this is why so many people backs were up last time.

Anyone whose posts you considered to be disagreeing with you (such as you being out of order for publicly accusing a poster who isn't even here), generally resulted in you calling them an antisemite.

Can you not understand how this might come across to Jewish people who actually understand what antisemitism is, because they have to live with it every single day?

Could you kindly bog off please. This is a thread to offer solidarity and love to the UK’s Jewish communities. Please take your irrelevant arguments about other threads elsewhere.

What other threads? I’m responding to OP’s post on this thread.

A lot of Jewish people’s backs up?

Where?

I never meant to offend

So go and take your arguments about “last time” back to the relevant thread and stop derailing this one. Thanks awfully.

Excuse me but it certainly was not irrelevant to me.

I was the one accused of being an antisemite by the OP, purely because I think she's out of order for accusing nomas of 'chasing her away', when she's not even here to defend herself.

And this is the way many of the OP's previous threads went.

Thank you!

This thread (like all my previous ones) was started in good faith

Tjis country is riddled with antisemitism, no matter what the government says

@BlakeCarrington was this comment aimed at me? I haven’t mentioned any previous threads.
