Tracking antisemitism 2

[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!😆

sentencing is due to take place on February 13th, Ella

Surely they must be looking at very long sentences?

Merry Christmas to anyone on this thread who celebrates. I only just found out that Donutelier in London is part of the Israeli bakery Roladin. And of course it’s on the boycott list. Just in case anyone didn’t know either and wants an incentive to buy more donuts after Chanukah!

I am genuinely baffled by how the Labour government can think this would go down well https://x.com/Keir_Starmer/status/2004603692197036322

For those not on X, Alaa Abd El-Fattah is back in the UK after the government persuaded the Egyptians to pardon him (apparently its been Labour's top priority since they came to power, because they have nothing better to focus on) despite his long history of making violent statements concerning Jews (calling for more Zionists to be killed), white people and British people. Obviously, this hasn't been well received.

There's a new thread up in this very subject and the whatboutery was up and running within the first few posts. Now up to page 4 with links to El-Fattah's tweets. Despicable, and Keir and his advisors need sacking.

I see now the prime minister has backtracked in what he said. Did he really have no idea who this man was?

I suspect this is a foreign office stitch up / cock up. Starmer has been a fool not to realise what was going on.

Thanks 🙏
the more I read on this the worse it gets.

The El Fattah thing is a disaster. It’s really highlighted how insanely incompetent both labour and conservative are and the insane gaps in homeland security.

I was always happy that the UK was not an armed populace, but I really do wish security guards and police were armed.

Ireland , antisemitic graffiti on the road.

“In a highly depressing turn of events, the day after I was berated by hundreds of Irish people on this app for writing an article that asked the Irish public to listen to the concerns of the Irish Jewish community, I have been sent these photos and video of antisemitic graffiti by a concerned Slovak man living in Ireland.

He spotted this yesterday as he was driving on the R165 (Shanlis) from Kingscourt to Ardee County Louth. This particular area is known to the Jewish community as having been vandalised with antisemitic graffiti before in 2019 (link to article below).

The local Gardaí and County Council will be contacted. To say there is no antisemitism problem in this country is a grotesque insult.”

I can’t make out what the last thing says - zo33? Is that meant to be a reference to zyklon b?

lecturer thrown out of his class in Lyon by radical students according to Jake Simons.

disclaimer - I have not seen this on MSM or other places at this point. I don’t know if that’s because I’m searching in English.

Ah wait I’ve dug a bit more. He’s reposted an incident from April this year. It was reported in MSM, it’s just from earlier this year.

Times Square billboard went up in NYC saying 'Merry Christmas, Jesus is Palestinian'

Of course he was 😆

Rachel Moiselle has written about the antisemitism in Ireland and the refusal of the Irish to recognise it or accept what Irish Jews are telling them: x.com/RachelMoiselle/status/2005572071204516270

In response, she has received hundreds of insults and more concerningly responses from people who seem quite proud of the antisemitism in Ireland, very much making her point for her.

She's shared an image of the article below and a link (need a subscription) https://m.independent.ie/opinion/rachel-moiselle-seven-out-of-ten-people-say-ireland-has-no-antisemitism-problem-heres-why-they-should-think-again/a905982918.html

All this in the same week "Jew Rat" and swastikas were painted on a road in Ireland and people claimed it was a one-off, kids or a false flag.

I've only been to Ireland once, but after hearing about the years of attacks on Jews and now the denial that there is a problem, I'm in no rush to go back.

Well this doesn’t look good- day one in office, as part of a mass revocation of Adam’s orders since sept 2024, among other acts, Mamdani has revoked the implementation of the IHRA definition of antisemitism.

Is anyone surprised, really? I have a Jewish friend who lives in NY and she doesn't seem too worried by him. In fact I believe some Jews actually voted for Mandani as they 'liked his ideas'! Shades of German Jews who thought they were untouchable when Hitler became Chancellor in 1933. Will we never learn? 😡

in an airport, past security?!? Israeli flight passengers blocked from getting on a plane by protesters hateful antisemites in Milan

It is uncomfortable to feel that you're in opposition to the accepted fashionable viewpoint. People want to conform to the 'right' belief system and always have. Unfortunately the current trendy belief system is very concerning, and when it is disseminated in higher education, it is a major problem.

@BonneMamanAbricot my friend is a highly educated lawyer and past the age of going with the herd, so I was surprised at her reaction to the election.

A highly educated lawyer is exactly the demographic to align with progressive values and be exposed to biased news sources, public figures, literature and media. My nice local bookshop was platforming a book called Hamas: A Beginner's Guide that described 7 Oct as a 'consequence'. At our local museum attendants were wearing woven Palestine flag bracelets.

@BonneMamanAbricot she's Jewish and retired now. If she was younger I would agree with you.

I understand why people of a slightly older generation find it hard to step away from the left because it’s been ingrained in them for so long as that’s the ‘good’ side I suppose. Especially if they don’t go on social media then they miss part of the picture of what’s going on. I’m younger and it’s probably easier for someone of my age to realise that the left left me, not the other way around.
I have family in NYC, they are really frightened of Mamdani and will be moving soon.

On another note, I’ve seen a lot on social media about the lies that have come out regarding the West Midlands police and the Maccabi Tel Aviv football game. I’ve seen very little in the media about what’s transpired. Sad that most people likely won’t find out the truth.

I find this very confusing as socially I am absolutely on the left (particularly as I grew up in the states and still vote there). I cannot in good conscience vote Republican but also cannot now vote Democrat so I'm left nowhere and with nothing. I come from a multi-generation left leaning family so it's a massive shift for me personally

I feel the same in the UK. There's nobody I can vote for.

I can vote here too and honestly - so many people, no options I feel good about.
