[EllaDisenchanted]

continuing on from the last thread which morphed from a discussion about antisemitism to tracking it globally.

I’ve probably missed people out

to start off with something positive - this was a few yeshiva students response to antisemitism ❤️🕎

“Three Jewish college students from NJ were dancing at Denver International Airport. They said they were motivated to do this after the mass shooting in Australia: “We will not be scared or give in to the darkness, we will only add more and more light.” Happy Hanukkah!”

they’re playing my favourite zusha chanuka song, and one of them looks like DHs nephew who lives in America! Had to do a double take and check it wasn’t him!😆

According to Heidi Bachram's twitter, they've been identified/identified themselves as Uzmar Bashir and her mother who have been involved with the pro-palestinian movement in Leeds.

They look completely moronic in the stuff they post, baffling to think anyone actually respects people like this.

The BBC have done a Panorama programme called Why British Jews Are Afraid

Spat at, threatened and kidnapped: British Jews tell of rising antisemitism

I want a follow up about why British Jews are angry.

I think the BBC might want to look it's own coverage to help answer both of those questions!

Right? Mainstream reporting keeps forgetting they share the liability here.

Looks like a TfL train driver has been caught on video being asked if the Bakerloo line is safe for Jews and he’s responded not when I’m driving it. The video had an update saying TfL has suspended him and investigating.

Thanks for the update, they clearly thrive on this kind of attention.

there have been multiple incidents in Vietnam with the same people harrassing Israelis.

'Dan and Ish' (whoever they are) harassing Jews, including a young Jewish man with Down Syndrome, with so called 'Jew traps' - dropping money or offering money (vomit)

seen similar videos (don't know if same guys) harassing a Jewish woman as well.

Astonishingly medieval

Exactly my thoughts.

It's feeling like a lot at the moment. I have no interest in moving to Israel because I don't speak the language and don't trust the government or the surrounding nations.

I don't feel safe sending my children to a Jewish school. I know from my own experience that sending them to a non-Jewish school is definitely not safe. So I'm at a bit of a loss! As I'm sure many, if not all, of you are too.

It’s feeling a lot because it IS a lot 🫂

I know what you mean re knowing where to go, what to do.

And the top comments on these attacks are always 'Israel is bringing hate on the Jewish population.' No one says that about victims of other racist attacks - no one said 'China brought this on its citizens' when Chinese people were attacked for Covid, for example. Besides the fact that this was all kicked off by Hamas, the only blame lays with the perpetrators. But there is an extreme lack of compassion and normalisation of victim blaming when it comes to these attacks.

It really is a lot and just keeps coming. The video by Strokes lead singer on a podcast was appalling.

The clips are on social media too.

And more anti Israel fake London Underground posters put up on the tube. I can’t find it in the news but again it’s on social media.

“American Zionists get the benefits of white privileged people, but talk like they are Black people during slavery.”

So he means Jews...

There was a horrible assault on a Jewish man in Slough on Monday

Link to CAA's X post about the assault

Of course. Funny accusing Jews or ‘American Zionist’s’ as being the white privileged ones when he grew up a multimillionaire.

It's just ridiculous how these people will cry 'antizionism!' and then blatantly substitute the word Zionist for Jew.

Oh dear god. Daylight - on a busy road!
What on earth is happening?

That's horrendous.
That poor man.

Maybe the CPS will have enough evidence to prosecute the assailant this time around...

I saw an update saying he’s been arrested so we’ll wait and see.

Good. That's absolutely shocking.
Where's the footage from, was it on the victim's phone?

Yes from Nicole Lampert’s daily mail article -

‘As he was already using his phone camera, he started recording the man who proceeded to accuse him of 'killing kids in Palestine' before warning, 'I'll break your f jaw, you dirty little mother fcker.'

That should be shown to Zack Polanski who now appears to think that the rise in antisemitism is just perceived.
