"Right now, Klemons said, the stage is an uncomfortable space for #Jews to be sharing due to the war in #Israel and the rise in #antisemitism in the states – a reality that Klemons faced when someone spit in her face in #TimesSquare for repping the Star of David.

“The artist community tends to be left-leaning, and right now the left is a little bit of a scary place for the Jews to be living in,” Klemons said. “I just make it my job to say ‘I’m the same person I always was. I’m the same #Jewish person living among you.'"

"[T]he majority of #Jewish #students inhabit a “great missing middle” in #Israeli-#Palestinian discourse.

Two-thirds of the students we spoke with are in this “missing middle,” divided into four categories:

“Conflicted” students were inconclusively grappling with the moral and political complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

“Disillusioned” students struggled to reconcile their sentimental attachment to Israel with their disappointment – their sense that the country betrayed its own values in its treatment of #Palestinians.

“Retrenched” students turned inward, fearful of being identified as Jewish on campuses they perceived as hostile to #Jews.

The last category, “disengaged” students, were detached or actively steering clear of controversy."

"#Birmingham #Labour said the historic move would help the council understand its communities better and tackle discrimination.

It said that while #Sikhs and #Jews had been legally recognised as #ethnic groups for more than 40 years, they were largely absent from ethnicity data as it was not routinely collected by public bodies.

As the Office for National Statistics advises public bodies to only use existing ethnic categories in order to deliver public services, the Labour group argued #Jewish and #Sikh people were “rendered invisible” to policymakers.

If the motion passes, it would make Birmingham City Council the first local authority in #England to change the way that it collects ethnicity data."

Starting to feel a little unwanted around this country... 👀

"Alana Gans, 28, told the Chronicle that she and her 27-year-old friend were sitting on a curb waiting for an Uber after a night out when a man near them started screaming, "F--- #Jews, #freePalestine.” Gans said the assailant shouted for about a minute before she told him she was #Jewish and asked him to leave.

When she made the plea, he walked over and said, "F--- you," she said.

She stood up, as did her friend, who got in between her and the assailant, she said.

Two other men who were nearby took out their phones and started to record the commotion as they laughed. They, too, shouted, "F--- Jews," Gans said.

As she tried to pull her friend's arm to walk away, the assailant sucker-punched her friend, Gans said. Both she and her friend fell. Gans said she was unsure how she was knocked down: "I have no idea," she said. "I was just on the (ground)."

In genau diesem Moment findet der
✡️Jüdisch-Antizionistische Kongress✡️ in Wien statt - der Geburtsstadt des Zionismus! (13.-15.6.).

Hochkarätige Sprecher*innen wie
•Ilan Pappé
•Yakov Rabkin
•Donny Gluckstein
...und viele mehr finden sich zusammen um eine starke internationale jüdische Stimme gegen die schamlose Anneignung des Jüdischseins und des Traumas der Shoah durch den Staat Israel zu formen! 💪

"#Zionism is a crime against #Judaism and the indigenous people of #Palestine, and we are committed to putting an end to it. Over the years, it became clear that Zionism, instead of protecting #Jews, placed them in great danger by committing atrocious acts in their name. Zionism is based on racial supremacy, adopting the very racist assumptions which are inherent to #antisemitism – describing Jews as belonging to some chosen race – a notion which is fundamentally racist and which has no relation to Judaism."

I cede the anti-Bibi crown to no one, but if (and sure, a big “if”) #Tehran was even nearly as close to a weapon as #Israel suggests, and had the intention to create one, there was little alternative here.

Haters can mutter about Israeli aggression all they want — I don’t care, as long as there’s an Israel for them to hate, rather than a glassy, smoking grave for 7 million #Jews and millions of other Israelis.

Excuse us if we prioritize our existence over your poorly developed, topsy-turvy morality.

“#Sarajevo has proclaimed itself a ‘city of openness and tolerance’ for anyone but #Jews,” commented #Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt, president of the Conference of #European #Rabbis. “Chief rabbis from all over #Europe were due to convene to discuss the most pressing issues facing European #Jewish life today and matters of freedom of religion or belief. Shockingly, we have been made unwelcome.”

The European Commission hosted in April the Civil Society Forum in #Brussels on combating #antisemitism and fostering Jewish life amid a surge in antisemitism following 7 October 2023 where Jews in the #EU are linked to #Israel and blamed for the far-right #Israeli government’s violation of international law in the #war."

«Human greatness does not lie in wealth or power, but in character & goodness.» A.Frank

Via @auschwitzmuseum

Anne Frank was born on this date in 1929. She did not survive the #genocide of #Jews in #Nazi Germany.

To remember and talk about Anne Frank today means to talk and act 𝘵𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺 about all innocent little girls who perish under evil political and military forces.

Today, Anne Frank is called Yaqeen Hammad. She was #Palestinian, and lived in #Gaza. She was killed by #Israeli #warCriminals.

"To read about #American #Jews this summer, you only need to open the newspaper. For better or worse, and probably for worse, Jews have been all too much in the news of late.

Seventy years ago, the situation was quite different. With #WorldWarII moving into the realm of history, in the mid-1950s Jews were being depict­ed not as alien or disreputable #immi­grants but rather as mem­bers of a respect­ed Amer­i­can #reli­gion, reflected in a mid­dle­brow #literary #cul­ture that reached a main­stream audience. That was true at the end of the 1955 beach #reading season when an unlikely pair of popular #novels made a splash on the #NewYorkTimes #Bestsellers list.

Patrick Dennis (the pen name of Edward Everett Tanner III) published his first #novel, “Auntie Mame,” in August of 1955. “Mame” quickly reached number one on the fiction #bestseller list. A few weeks later, Dennis’s novel ceded the top spot to Herman Wouk’s “Marjorie Morningstar.”

Hi hi!! I really need some #MutualAid!!

I’m trying to find the full 45-minute documentary “The Anarchist Rabbi” (2014) by Adam Kossoff.

This movie is a documentary about Rudolf Rocker, a German anarchist who worked with Jewish migrants in London’s East End, and it’s narrated by Steven Berkoff.

Here’s the movie on IMDb and similar websites:
- IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3445106
- Lux Moving Image: https://luxmovingimage.square.site/product/adam-kossoff-the-anarchist-rabbi/73
- Vimeo (short clip): https://vimeo.com/245762198

- - -

Why is this ranndon documentary important to me?

Because I’m #ActuallyAutistic and I have a super strong hyperfixation on Rudolf Rocker, the German anarchist thinker who wrote nationalism and culture, among other works like Anarcho-syndicalism: Theory and Practice.

When it comes to #Jews, what's the difference between center, right, and left? Both have their pretty Jews taking photo ops next to guys who pressure the Protocols. In the case of this new MAHA guy, it's even the same person!

I'd say that we need to bring back cherem for Jews who legitimize antisemites, but as we can see from, for example, Steven Miller yimach shemoy, those pathetic specimens don't care about being ostracized.

Disclosure: I've got photo ops with anti-Zionist groups that today I wouldn't trust to keep Protocols peddlers out

"The story of #immigrants in the early #20thcentury coming to the #UnitedStates through New York’s Ellis Island is well documented. Perhaps lesser known is the story of immigrants coming to this country through another port: #Galveston.

In particular, some 10,000 #Russian #Jews fled #Russia and Eastern #Europe to escape growing violence in the buildup to World War I and came to #Texas between the years of 1907 and 1914. That effort, championed by several #Jewish assistance organizations, was known as the Galveston Movement.

The co-founder of that movement was David Jochelmann, the great-grandfather of writer Rachel Cockerell, and she has written a #book about it called Melting Point: Family, Memory, and the Search for a Promised Land."
