Antisemitism in the US

DeSantis OK with Elon's horrible anti-semitism

 

Of course

 

Didn't you ask similar questions before and I showed you where the protests you placed in question indeed happened? Do you seriously think college students were not holding vigils, etc? Seriously, I can't imagine you believe this silliness.

 

WHAT? You were seeking/expecting/hoping for such behavior?

 

Here it is. You asked the same Q re: Ukraine and when I showed you that the thing you doubted occurred in abundance, you ignored it. Here you are questioning whether or not college students protested 9/11. My suggestion: Quit watching Fox News. It's skewing your cog.

 

What history? You don't know the history.

 

No. Are you saying that college students didn't protest 9-11?

 

I think anti-Muslim bigotry in America is statistically broader than bigotry against Jewish people - but not as deep or dangerous. I think we will have a Jewish president before a Muslim president but I feel like Jewish Americans are at greater risk and getting attacked by some extremes on both sides.

 

I think 2001 was greater

 

Clarify what you are claiming. Are you saying Students were protesting the Terrorist/ Muslims who attacked us, or are you saying the students were protesting America and cheering the Terrorist/Muslims?

 

Just stop.

Today's douchbags CELEBRATED the slaughter of the Jews--by terrorists.

Even at worst, 9/11 protests were agsinst the massacre of 3000 civilians by terrorists.

 

Not the way the dems coddle those poor victim muslims in their ever deepening self loathing disgust with traditional historical USA.

I never thought I'd see what we've seen in the US vis a vis Jewish and Muslim tensions.

Today it's a small smattering of Muslim radicals in the dem party...before I expire, I fully expect to see your precious political party fully embrace rabid anti Semitic 'from the river to the sea' minsdest when those warm n fuzzy exotic Islamist Mohamadans take full control of the party and bully any non like minded folk the hell out of the party. They'll paint the Jews as the fascists in the process.

 

But the "danger" differential is also a function of mainstream power. I agree that Jews are in more physical dangers. But Islamaphobes can use institutional power and suppress speech that way

 

My reason for believing the United States will have a Jewish president before a Muslim president was based on polling data I'd seen in the past. According to a 2019 Gallup poll, 93% of Americans said they would be willing to vote for a Jewish person to be president. The number that would be willing to vote for a Muslim president was 66%. Maybe it would be different today (and the phrasing does conflate the ethnic/religious categories), but that was a very large gap only four years ago.

I've said before that I see anti-Semitism on both the left and the right. I'm not sure what your digs about my "precious political party," adds here. Biden is definitely getting push back from many in the Muslim community. He's also angered people on both the left and the right for being too hawkish and too supportive of Israel. We're seeing some fractures on the right with Ben Shapiro and Candace Owens, for example, while Elon Musk and others are giving oxygen to anti-Semetic conspiracy theories. I expect the majority of Jewish Americans and Muslim Americans alike to continue to support Democratic candidates.

 

Bernie would have won

 

Ha, yeah, I was pulling for Bernie in the primary even though he's more liberal than I am - in part because I felt he was the stronger candidate, particularly in that moment.
