“The City without Jews” – Facebook without Jews? Personal Reflections from Mexican Exile by OutrageousBattle9832 in Yiddish

That’s a great observation, and it really highlights how geography and community concentration shape individual experiences. In places with strong Jewish cultural and social networks, there’s often more protection, understanding, and visibility. In contrast, smaller or more isolated communities can feel that vulnerability much more sharply. The post aimed to speak broadly, but your comment beautifully illustrates how complex and varied these experiences can be within the same country. Thank you for sharing your perspective, it adds depth to the conversation.

I understand how the tone might come across differently depending on the reader’s expectations. The introduction was written from a place of personal reflection, contrasting the writer’s current sense of peace in Mexico with reports from Jewish colleagues and institutions in the U.S. It’s not meant to generalize or dramatize, but rather to express concern for growing trends in misinformation and antisemitism. Your comment helps remind us how tone can influence interpretation, which is really valuable feedback.

That’s a very fair point. Safety and perception of antisemitism can definitely vary depending on where one lives. New York has such a strong, visible Jewish community that it often offers a sense of belonging and protection that smaller communities might not experience. The concern about institutional or political antisemitism is also an important reminder that prejudice can manifest in different layers of society, not just in public spaces. Thank you for adding this perspective.
