Thank you to everyone for making this space happen! We need it!

Blessings to you, and your new board Flowers

Its hugely disappointing that black MNers met with such resistance and upset when a designated board was suggested . I feel so angry when I come across any racism and that we need to have each others back and do what we can to support other ethnic minorities as well as our own. Needing our own boards is shows just how much we are still up against it when it comes to racism and othering. Sending love and solidarity 💐

Sticking my head in to say well done, and good that you've got some kind of sticky saying the board is primarily for the use of Jewish Mumsnetters, though others are welcome to post -- but is that strongly worded enough?

beachquestion · 16/10/2023 17:14

Thank you @Asthebellcurves and Shalom to you all!

I agree it was awful that the women who wanted and needed the Black Mumsnetters board had to face such difficulty to get it, and I wanted to acknowledge that the pushback they fought has paved the way for this board, and I'm grateful to them ❤️ If anyone has the username for the woman behind the BM board, please let me know, she should be thanked on here too.

I'm not Jewish, but wish you all the best, saddened by so much anti semitism.

BethDuttonsTwin · 16/10/2023 17:25

Not Jewish but really glad you've got this board and hopefully it will be what you need it be. Have been completely horrified by the twisting, turning whataboutery and apologism on MN this last week. Names on this site I'll never be able to see on a thread again without curling my lip with disgust at the stance they took.

TriciaMcMillan · 16/10/2023 17:31

Great job @Asthebellcurves. Checking in for our new space. Thank you for thinking of this and pleased Mumsnet recognised it was needed. Sad to be where we are though.

EllaDisenchanted · 16/10/2023 17:37

hey @ticketstickets I think I might be on the same other group too ;) I have done the opposite of you and been avoiding mumsnet, and going more on there this week.

EllaDisenchanted · 16/10/2023 17:39

I don't know if this board will last (I hope it does!), as we really are so few in number, but the outpouring of love and support for a safe space Jewish board on mumsnet has been really moving for me, and not naming names as there are so many, but you've all brought some light in to a very dark week.

Ibizafun · 16/10/2023 17:50

Wow!!!! Thank youFlowersFlowersFlowers

Twattergy · 16/10/2023 18:00

This is great. I'm always pleased to see other Jewish mumsnetters 'outed' (by choice!) on other threads. Messages of solidarity from non Jewish MNers are much appreciated too during this horrible time.

valorie · 16/10/2023 18:11

Well done and thank you to asthebellcurves. I'm ashamed to say I'm a three day jew, went to shul for a special prayer service last week and decided to attend more often. Thank you to all who posted on the other thread and made this board happen so quickly.

IShouldProbablyHooverMore · 16/10/2023 18:16

Thank you @Asthebellcurves, and well done 👏🏻

MalagaNights · 16/10/2023 18:19

I'm so pleased to see this board.

I'm not Jewish but have had to take a few days break from MN as I found the antisemitism hard to process and to keep responding to.
I don't think I've ever reported a post unti this week and now I seem to have been doing it constantly in capital letters screaming at MNHQ.

So if I've found it hard I can't imagine how difficult it's been for the Jewish mothers here.

Peace to you all on your board xx.

MoltenLasagne · 16/10/2023 18:26

So glad to see this space, but so sorry that it is needed. I've been genuinely shocked by the antisemitism on this site this week. Solidarity to you all.

WaveyGodshawk · 16/10/2023 18:36

Oh I'm so glad your board happened, congratulations Flowers
Another one bowing out now, just wanted to wish you all the best x

Hotcuppatea · 16/10/2023 18:38

Solidarity with all of you. I am horrified by the antisemitic demonstrations at the weekend. Absolutely dispicable .

OCaledonia · 16/10/2023 18:44

Wishing you all the best, peace and love as Ringo Starr always says.
I'm not Jewish and I too am deeply saddened and disturbed by the rise in anti semitism.

Cannas · 16/10/2023 18:49

Solidarity and support from me.
I ham horrified by the anti semitism on MN and in the UK as a whole. I had no idea so many of the UK population held such opinions.

Best wishes

Tittyfilarious81 · 16/10/2023 18:55

Not a board for me but just wanted to say congrats on getting this board for you all the have a space to talk 💗

soddingspiderseason · 16/10/2023 18:59

I think this is great, really pleased. Not my space but I wish you all well x

Forkz · 16/10/2023 19:02

I guess this is a space for me 👋

The things I have heard over the last few days have been so deeply upsetting. It’s often from people I like and respect who don’t necessarily understand what they’re saying is antisemitic.

This underlying, ingrained antisemitism upsets me more than people openly shouting racist chants in the street. The type of antisemitism from people who would class themselves as not racist is the result of thousands of years of fear and hatred of Jews. It’s never gone away.

Patchesofdrizzle · 16/10/2023 19:06

Not my board, but I hope you all find this dedicated space a support during this dark time- the level of anti-semitism in the last week has been awful. Solidarity and support from Ireland.

LoveLabradors · 16/10/2023 19:11

I am pleased you now have this space and hope it is a place of solace and understanding. I hope you also know how many of us so strongly feel for what you are going through and hold you deeply in our thoughts and hearts ❤️ . I’ve been ashamed of this country the past week. Although glad about the new board I remain deeply disappointed in mumsnet to put it mildly, too weak by far in the face of rampant antisemitism.
