Antisemitism in the US

Generalizing your comment (with which I agree): declaring those you disagree with any type of pejorative shuts down debate: morons, white supremacists, misogynist, racist, bigot, homophobes, ignorant, anti-trans, et al. It's the classic "WE" are all-knowing, all-seeing, altruistic and "THEY" are evil, stupid and a waste of space. I know when folks don't have any juice in their position when they start calling me names - and I accept their acknowledgement of not having anything of substance to offer.

FYI, Trump is a master of this - he labels people, i.e. "Crooked Hillary," and repeats, and repeats, and repeats. It shuts down debate; AND, sadly, it is very effective politically.

 

How Bad Is Antisemitism in America, Really?

 

Raskin should run for POTUS. Read the whole string.

 

This guy should go straight to Hell.

 

First paragraph this guy proclaims that the occult elements at high levels of society is "nothing other than Jesus Christ."

Second paragraph he reminds us that christianity is based on human sacrifice.

In conclusion he is calling on killing folks for not being in the human sacrifice cult.

 

I would like to know the last time Fuentes went to church. Like are any of these Nazi guys actually religious? They just think one set of ancient rituals is better, not that they are actually interested in them beyond some kind of mystical cultural fetish or their use value in dominating certain people.

 

Pretty much orthodox Christian eschatology

 

Ken White says what needed to be said

Stop Demanding Dumb Answers To Hard Questions

 

Good God... NO!

Calling for the killing of non-Christians is categorically NOT "classic Christian Orthodox eschatology" or even consistent with any Christian eschatology.

Geeeezzz....

One misguided malignant douche bag does not represent Christianity. No Christian Church or denomination even approves of the taking of a life, beyond self defense or just war theory.

By contrast--for illustration purposes only--the quoran actually does, expressly call for the conversion or killing of "infidels."

No such commandment, requirement or even suggestion exists anywhere in Christianity.

End 'antisemitic' Harvard's federal cash, tax breaks: critics
GOP calls to strip Harvard of billions in federal cash, tax breaks over ‘antisemitism shame’

 

Post like you’ve never read the Bible!

If a man or woman living among you in one of the towns the Lord gives you is found doing evil in the eyes of the Lord your God in violation of his covenant, 3 and contrary to my command has worshiped other gods, bowing down to them or to the sun or the moon or the stars in the sky, 4 and this has been brought to your attention, then you must investigate it thoroughly. If it is true and it has been proved that this detestable thing has been done in Israel, 5 take the man or woman who has done this evil deed to your city gate and stone that person to death.

Deuteronomy 17

 

Well, that is particularly dumb. Harvard generally doesn't pay taxes because it is a non-profit. Which leaves the question, what are the Republicans thinking here:

1. A complete re-write of non-profit tax rules because they don't like Harvard?
2. A tax bill that acts as a Bill of Attainder against Harvard for speech that they don't like.
3. That their voters won't stop to think about this graphic for two seconds before going around and posting it and nodding their heads in agreement.

What do you think it is?

 

And that my friend, is scary.

 

BCG you don't even scratch the surface. The Lord has some cruel punishments to dole out. The old testament in particular would make Nazi's blush.

 

Oh I know I just picked that one because it specifically calls for the killing of "infidels" JUST LIKE THE KORAN

 

I would be surprised if this kid and others aren't getting fed much of this hate through social media.

13-year-old charged after allegedly planning a mass shooting at an Ohio synagogue, according to court docs | CNN

A 13-year-old in Ohio is facing criminal charges after allegedly crafting “a detailed plan” for a mass shooting at a synagogue in September, according to court documents obtained by CNN.

The teen, whom authorities have not publicly identified, posted “a detailed plan to complete a mass shooting” at Temple Israel in Canton, the documents state. The defendant posted the plans on the social media platform Discord, and when authorities notified public individuals and agencies and the school system, it caused “significant public alarm,” according to the documents.

The 13-year-old is charged with misdemeanor counts of inducing panic and disorderly conduct in the September 1 incident, according to the documents. CNN has reached out to the teen’s attorney for comment.

“Discord’s Counter-Extremism analysts proactively detected, removed, and reported this user to the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center, which is what led to the user’s arrest,” John Redgrave, Discord’s vice president of trust and safety, said in a statement to CNN.

 

And here's a case from my town that happened in August - before the Hamas attack on Israel and all of the news and media that has followed. It was even more distburing given that at least two of the kids' parents are attorneys I've met and who seem to be respected members of the community. The young people are getting this stuff from somewhere, and I'm willing to bet it wasn't from their schools or family members.

PENSACOLA, Fla. -- The city of Pensacola, and especially the Jewish community, are breathing a big sigh of relief Friday night after hearing about the arrests of four teens.

****

After someone threw a brick, scribbled with swastikas and hateful messages, through a kitchen window, Danow shared news of the arrest at a Chabad dinner for young Jewish professionals Friday evening.

 

I think teenage vandalism has been around forever. People are quick to blame social media, but I'm certain Synagogues (and other houses of worship) have been targets of vandalism before social media was a thing. Its hard to distinguish between what is motivated by actual ideological hate vs. antisocial tendencies that young boys often have that probably arent motivated by hardened antisemitism, just the desire to be transgressive in some way. Like I remember dudes in HS that drew swastikas on stuff or the bathroom wall, I dont think they became ardent white supremacists. We live in a time of moral panic, so there is probably a degree of overreaction here or thinking the problem is something different than what it actually is.
