AOC: Antisemitism 'Undermines' the 'Progressive Movement'
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) warned that the "progressive movement is undermined" when criticism of the Israeli government turns to antisemitism.Zachary Leeman (Mediaite)
Just to give an indication of how often this happens, this is a report we just got about me in response to this post I made <20 minutes ago talking about how much harassment Jews get just for existing.

Can you imagine how awful it would be if people talked about Americans the way they talk about Israelis, or even just Jews, if Trump wins the US election? Maybe someone in Canada or Germany will say "I love hamburgers.Babka Social
I used to be a huge fan of Robert Reich, but in this post, he's making it seem like Jews who complain about antisemitism are complaining about pro-peace protests.

This isn't the case. Virtually no Jews are against protests around peace and support of peace.
The problem is when those protests chant antisemitic phrases, involve antisemitic demands, or involve actual physical assault on Jews.
Conflating real and genuine concerns with nonsense is a way to marginalize Jews.
This is evidence that yes, a Jew can do/say antisemitic things.
As for the Substack article's assertion that we shouldn't legislate- he conveniently ignores that universities already "legislate" speech and actions on campus heavily, both officially and unofficially.
What he's arguing for is an exception where it's okay to attack Jews but no one else, the ultimate in double standard.

I'm beginning to suspect that some of this #antizionism not #antisemitism stuff might actually just be antisemitism.
"Rabbi Yaacov Behrman, had posted video of the rally online in which protesters screamed at him, “We don’t want no #Zionists here.” One person told him to “Go back to your Shabbat tunnel, dumb f—”

These conversations only make sense once you recognize that "Zionist" is a dog whistle for Jew.

@indigenous_commentator@stranger.social what does she have to do with zionism? I've googled but I can't find any sources showing she's zionist, so I'd be happy to see your sourceSpejset
Here's one of the statements Wing Luke staff walked out over. 👀
"Explanatory panels highlight a rising tide of #antisemitism and hate crimes in #Seattle. The exhibit says that graffiti sprayed in November on the Herzl-Ner Tamid #Synagogue on Mercer Island that said “stop killing” was antisemitism “disguised as "antiZionism ... as if the #Jews of Mercer Island could control the actions of the #Israeli government.”
Seattle’s Wing Luke Museum closed after staff say exhibit 'frames Palestinian liberation' as antisemitism

Today in Michigan, a Nazi was sentenced for conspiring with other Nazis to threaten Black and Jewish people and desecrate a synagogue with swastikas.
He was prosecuted by DOJ's Civil Rights Division. If Trump wins, the GOP promises to turn the Civil Rights Division into its opposite, prosecuting any institution that has DEI programs.
If you're voting third-party, you're saying you're okay with that.

Svaret är judarna. Det finns inga judar i Syd-Sudan, Etiopien, Centralafrikanska republiken och Ukraina att skylla all världens ondska på.
Om du inte ser den brutala antisemitismen i denna galna enögdhet så är du helt blind. Eller så är du helt enkelt en antisemit.

TIL: The Irish were always pro-Nazi.
This should not be surprising, given the history of Irish Americans and their bigotry against Black folks.

Today in Labor History May 22, 1968: New York police broke through the barricades at Columbia University, busting the student occupations there. As a result, 998 were arrested and over 200 injured. Students were demanding a black studies program and an end to military recruitment and ROTC on campus. Sound familiar? However, today’s student protests are bringing back the worst of 1960s-‘70s police brutality and university intolerance for Free Speech along with McCarthy era firing, blacklisting and doxing of academics for the crime of criticizing the Israeli government, under bogus claims of antisemitism.

Grotesque claims: Students revolt against Western media misinformation - Pearls and Irritations
The largest this century, pro-Palestinian student demonstrations in the US and globally highlight the systemic failure of Western governments.Jeremy Webb (Pearls and Irritations)
A really graphic example was the "Have you ever thought that by being here, you bring risk and danger to other participants?"
It's actually scary how many folks on #mastodon don't see a problem there. Mostly dudes, btw.
