Another non Jew offering my support and love during this hideous time. Flowers

moggerhanger · 16/10/2023 19:25

Well done, and solidarity 🫶

Athena51 · 16/10/2023 19:25

I would just like to send my love and support at this trying time. I will continue to report antisemitism on here and challenge it where I see it in the world outside social media.

I hope this board is a safe and supportive space for you.

Idunno8 · 16/10/2023 19:28

Another non Jewish mum here to say you have my full support.
Will now bow out as not my space.

PastTheGin · 16/10/2023 19:39

Not my space, but I am sending my full support and love 💐

gingergran · 16/10/2023 19:59

I’m very glad to have this board and hope it remains a safe space but how sad is it that we feel it is necessary

TheShellBeach · 16/10/2023 21:00

I'm another non-Jew who is really glad that you got your very necessary board.

Don't hesitate to report questionable posts as this site is not pre-moderated.

Teentaxidriver · 16/10/2023 21:05

The piece in yesterday’s Sunday Times by Hadley Freeman was so powerful. I am C of E but I wanted to highlight my solidarity. Please don’t feel that the population of this country was represented by the weekend’s London rally. You have many friends.

ChallaMama · 16/10/2023 21:06

Amazing well done! Kol Hakavod.

Thank you so so much asthebellcurves x

Howyoualldoworkme · 17/10/2023 00:32

Not Jewish but you all have my support always and hope this board brings a bit of respite ❤

Saschka · 17/10/2023 00:35

Glad to see this, and agree with the PP that you may want to get this taken off Active Threads.

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.

This
me too
a horrific rude awakening to see the “yes but” contingent out in full force. I still didn’t really believe the link between left wing and antisemitism … this week has proven me very very wrong and I am humbled by my naïvety.
Know my thoughts and prayers are with you all

Ketzele · 17/10/2023 00:56

Hello! I'm a pretty rubbish Jew but hoping I can still hang around.

BigWholeBean · 17/10/2023 01:20

Oh wow

I was about to quit and block mumsnet forever. I still may.
I said to my husband last night that mumsnet over the last week that being on mumsnet has given me a deep level of understanding of how much non Jews hate us. And how ‘ordinary’ people just stood by as we were rounded up and annihilated in the Holocaust.
As post after post denounced us in so many insidious and disgusting ways. And denied it as “I’m not anti semitic, I’m anti Zionist”
I don’t know that I can look at the women of mumsnet in the same way. I’m not sure I’ll stay.
And also, the level of vitriol just proves to us even more how much we need Israel, our homeland, our protector.

This is a space for me! And I'm so happy to have it. The internet (and the real world) felt like an unsafe place for the last week--and I suspect things will get worse going forward. Let us be a support for each.

etmoietmoietmoi · 17/10/2023 01:45

Notwithstanding a few trolls earlier, this feels like such a lovely space already ❤

BigWholeBean · 17/10/2023 01:58

Not really sure how to respond. 🤷‍♀️
that’s how I feel. Sorry

20questions · 17/10/2023 06:15

@Asthebellcurves Thank you for this.
I, too, have been horrified the overt anti semitism on mumsnet over this last week.

IrresponsiblyCertainAboutSexualDimorphism · 17/10/2023 08:54

This is not a space for me, but I wanted to post with solidarity.

I am not Jewish, but had two Jewish friends and a Jewish teacher when I was very small, and my parents had Jewish friends.

Yet somehow I grew up not understanding that antisemitism was a thing in the U.K. I read Anne Frank’s diary and then all about the Holocaust without realising that all that hatred still existed.

It wasn’t until I briefly worked with a Jewish student when we were both in our early twenties that I understood her experience. Her stories of her father and uncles having to take turns to stand guard at the cemetery at night to prevent graves from being defiled horrified me and have never left me and taught me that ignorance is dangerous.

Wishing you peace and safety.

eyeoresancerre · 17/10/2023 08:59

Wonderful news. Just because we will leave you to enjoy the board in peace please know that there is so much support from non Jewish woman for you all. xx
