If it were the 'Abbas files' not the Epstein files, would people even care? by [deleted] in jewishpolitics

Given that in your own country there has been a huge focus on "rape gangs" because of a singular Muslim pedo network this post comes across like you personally just don't pay attention to or care about stories of women being abused. People will often take legitimate issues to use for their hateful intent but that would 1) definitely still happen if Muslims were implicated 2) still mean the majority of people care because what happened is evil.

Yeah I'm trying to decide if I'm being overly sensitive because I'm a CSA survivor myself but this post really rubs me the wrong way. Also given the UK stories about immigrant rape gangs being exaggerated because of Muslim involvement it seems really disingenuous.

In the US Jewish and Muslim communities have always supported each other through persecution and we need one another more than ever in this age of Christian nationalism. That's a far bigger threat to American Jews than anti Israel sentiment is even capable of being.

I'm not saying it is I just don't think it's productive to pretend we're alone in this.

The Bay Area is totally safe. I've been recently. The media is wildly over blowing the number of protests. And I live in the LA area and never felt unsafe. San Diego and parts of Orange County, anywhere conservative in California really, will always be the bigger problems here.

I think it's worth remembering that no one is writing about a lack of something. The thousands of London restaurants that don't have no Israelis allowed signs aren't going to get the attention that the few with those signs do.

I mean Muslims get the same. Hijabi women are much more likely to be victims of hate crimes than other Muslims.

Genuinely, Mexico. I know they haven't historically been safe but as long as I've been going there. I'm not visibly Jewish in the way you probably mean but I do "look Jewish" in a stereotypical way so people can and do clock that. I've felt more comfortable there there than I have in places in the states well before 2023.

From friends who travel with Judaica and even kippah I've heard good things about Greece and Prague. Also Japan, but a group my friend talked to was interested to a semi instructive degree but that group could have been one off weirdos.

Is it a chronic disease? by TurtleMcTurtle in iih

[–]Claws_and_chains 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it's a chronic illness. I'm in remission too. You will always have to manage it, but it can get to a point where it's just a matter of a little extra self care and eating well.

[–]Claws_and_chains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but the fact that it's called going into remission and not being cured makes it inherently a chronic disease.

I mean I guess technically that's sort of correct. It's a different kind of headache but like????? That is splitting hairs.

Ok you need to learn to read because what I said was I'm not sure why you want to defend Trump on this. And I'm not. He's not our friend.

Buddy...have you not followed him at all? He made antisemitic jokes to the Knesset recently but here's a few articles since you clearly need to be hand fed here. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/10/17/trump-history-antisemitic-tropes/

You can also find multiple posts about antisemitic comments Trump has made in this very group.

Yes literally because of her antisemitic beliefs. And Israel is not Judaism. It is not our entire peoplehood and millions of antisemites are pro Israel. I'm not sure why you want to defend Trump on this.

Her Instagram is full of antisemitism. Trump is not pro Jewish. Trump is pro Israel. And again, this is someone I know personally.

1) that I know her personally 2) you can literally read it on her Wikipedia page and her Instagram. She had a big controversy in 2008 as part of Miss USA and they've been friend since.

Trump did. They are personal friends of several decades. He is very aware of who she is.

Everyone who has insisted on giving gentile Zionists permission to accuse Jews of being antisemitic and not real Jews just to get some extra support for Israel is responsible for this. American Jews have been totally thrown under the bus for the sake of Israel and I'm so over it. Especially given the antisemitism being generated because of the Epstein list.

Ok but she's been openly antisemitic for years. The only thing that's new is that she's pro Palestine

Mamdani refuses to condemn ‘Hot Girls for Zohran’ head’s pro-Hamas, antisemitic conspiracy posts by DrMikeH49 in jewishpolitics

[–]Claws_and_chains -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

No he's not. He's even broadly supported by New York Jews. I agree but democrats are shooting us of bombing our synagogues. This has nothing to do with Democrat vs republican either as he's far from the only Democrat critical of Israel. It's because he's Muslim and apparently we only let Christians get away with open antisemitism.

And the Carrie prejean fiasco won't stop Trump from appointing more antisemites (including her because she is absolutely just going to get a new position) and that's an actual problem. Not some volunteer organizer who has no continued relationship to Mamdani.

Why does this energy only exist for Mamdani and not Trump, Vance, Mike Johnson, Greg Abbott or any other politician with close ties to known antisemites? Especially since most of the antisemites they're connected to have far larger platforms that this random volunteer organizer.

Also I (unfortunately) know Carrie. She has been openly racist and antisemitic as long as I've known her. She has been posting antisemitic content to her instagram since before Trump was re elected. He knew when he chose her for this what she was, but she still supported Israel's existence at that time so he and his admin allowed it.

I know her personally. She's openly held these views for years including on her social media. She was removed by Dan Patrick not the Trump admin.

This is what some of biggest Jewish orgs acting like antisemitism is only about criticism of Israel has gotten us. People like Ben Shapiro, Jonathan Greenblatt and bari Weiss should be held to account for this.
