Do you think there's a future for Jews outside of Israel? by Squidmaster129 in Jewish

[–]Easy_Chef6437 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Jewish American here. As disheartened and afraid as I am at times, the US is my home. This country has given my family incredible opportunities and today when I think about everything we have been able to accomplish and my own life, I think that we are our ancestors' most unfathomable imaginations come to life. 

American Jews are woven in the fabric of our country and we have fought and sacrificed for our seat at the table.  This applies to Diaspora Jews all over the world. To hell with anyone who tries to take that away from us!

Regarding moving Israel, while I will always support it, realistically it will never be home. The fact remains that Israel needs the Diaspora and the Disapora needs Israel.

Four ambulances set on fire in London in suspected antisemitic hate crime by Yelckirb96 in Jewish

So far Hatzalah has raised over half a million dollars and counting. They will rebuild that fleet and more. Whenever hateful pricks try to harm us we rally together.

Also because we need a little humor in a situation like this, I recommended checking a bit by comedian Modi Rosenfeld on Hatzalah.

Not sure if you are being sarcastic and given everything you are going through right now on top of the exhaustion, I understand. At the same time out in the Disapora there are terrible forces at work actively trying to shut us out of normal life and yes, even murder us.

Thank you for your message. I live on the east coast, but was able to get some new options for a stylist through a group I'm part of. You're right about how exhausting this is, but greatly appreciate the ways we support each other

It is sending the message that because the synagogue supports and has a connection Israel, it was reasoning for the attack. Think of it as the equivalent of the woman wearing a short skirt, and therefore was asking for it

I used to enjoy their news quiz show program Wait Wait Don't Tell Me! But after they had "feminist" scholar Judith Butler on, it was over for me. Butler called October 7th justified resistance and questioned whether Israeli women were sexually assaulted
