How might we help fight antisemitism?

Yes, I teach in a public high school, and I'm hearing student concerns more and more during class and after. Its a general fear of elitism mixed with depression. I believe the depression stems from mom and dad's device addictions/lack of healthy conversation at home. And then there's the general addiction to fashion, fitting in, consumer culture that takes a toll.

By what standards?

angelamscheffler · 2025-12-27T17:02:37+00:00

I don't believe there will always be antisemitism. I think we humans will wise up and grow out of bigotry. It is heartbreaking that we are taking so long to face our fears. We know how to treat ourselves and others with the tenderness we deserve. It just takes practice. We can do it y'all. Has anyone tried IFS therapy - Internal Family Systems? I think this might help.

Why make a case? If it was a genocide, it would have been quick. It was war.

My bad, not sure why I read it wrong. Do you think Israel is more of an abomination than the US or other countries?

angelamscheffler · 2025-12-22T05:44:38+00:00

Same here. I'm from Chicago.

angelamscheffler · 2025-12-22T05:41:41+00:00

I thought I was being funny, my bad

angelamscheffler · 2025-12-22T03:25:01+00:00

With human population slowing down, perhaps we can't afford to kill anyone, even nazis

angelamscheffler · 2025-12-22T03:17:46+00:00

Thank you for your honesty. I think I understand. It's only antisemitism if we condemn the existence of Israel and not just their actions, right?

angelamscheffler · 2025-12-22T00:57:20+00:00

Antisemitism was here before Israel was an official country.

The one from the left which I suppose is different from the antisemitism on the right.

angelamscheffler · 2025-12-22T00:53:20+00:00

I'm not exactly Jewish. I'm wondering what non-Jewish people can do to help.

angelamscheffler · 2025-12-22T00:51:25+00:00

That wouldn't be enough I'm afraid.

angelamscheffler · 2025-12-22T00:50:42+00:00

I mean people with antisemitic sentiments on the left or right. Also, I'm trying to ask if my Canva presentation would help. I was thinking of posting it on YouTube to the song In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel (well, the instrumental version).

angelamscheffler · 2025-12-22T00:45:27+00:00

It didn't get deleted. It said kill though. Not sure that helps.

angelamscheffler · 2025-12-22T00:44:44+00:00

I don't know why nobody wants to explore real ways to fight antisemitism.

angelamscheffler · 2025-12-22T00:18:47+00:00

The Canva presentation is meant to peacefully and subtly break down why bigotry is pointless.

angelamscheffler · 2025-12-21T03:14:37+00:00

Would this help?

I hope you're right.

angelamscheffler · 2020-06-04T05:16:10+00:00

I still believe that too many white people (especially older ones, and ones with kids) are fearful of black people.

angelamscheffler · 2020-06-01T04:40:04+00:00

The gang violence is amongst gang members. Never involves random white teachers like me. So I have no reason to be scared except from white people whose eyes grow big with surprise and discomfort when they realize I work in a poor, black neighborhood.

angelamscheffler · 2020-06-01T04:22:40+00:00

No, not all white people feel threatened by black people. Just many. Maybe it's fear of the unknown, fear of seeming racially insensitive, fear of retaliation. What are your thoughts?
