Jewish Federations of North America’s Post

#Antisemitism is indeed a growing problem around the #world and needs to be stopped. However, conflating #Judaism and #Zionism is not only extremely dangerous to #freedomofspeech, but it is also a rude violation of #humanrights as declared by the #UnitedNations. This conflation makes #Jews suffer even more than before because it indicates that #Israel represents all #Jewish people and this is simply wrong. #Knowledge is #power and this is why they want to keep the masses uneducated and ignorant about this important issue. They say we have #freedom and #democracy but they violate our fundamental human rights of freedom of #conciousness and #expression. How can it be that #politicians get silenced for opposing Zionism? How can it be that people are loosing their jobs for supporting a #FreePalestine? I personally oppose Zionism as an #ideology and I truly love Judaism and Jewish people. Most of the resources posted on my channel here are from Jewish scholars and these voices and cannot be #antisemitic in any logical sense. Don’t be afraid to think for yourself and don’t be imitated by #Israeli oppression. We can only win #together and this means one #democratic #secular #state in all of #Palestine. Many Jews support my opinion and yet I have to live in permanent fear of poverty and imprisonment here in the so-called free #society for expressing my ideas openly. This is not the #justice #system I want as a citizen. The first step of #liberation is freedom of ideas and thought. Educate yourself about Jewish opposition to Zionism and empower others with knowledge. #Love and #peace to everyone regardless of their religion. Zionism is an ideology created in 1897 in #Switzerland and it does not represent all Jews, no matter what their claims are. https://lnkd.in/ddDnugdF

Great article in WSJ with further thoughts on ANTISEMITISM, explaining why it exists and why it’s easy to baselessly blame the Jews for anything and everything you can imagine. Shame on those following this blindly , being silent while antisemitic slurs are voiced and actions taken. Abstracts : “The creative genius of Jew-hatred has always been its ability to imagine the Jew as the embodiment of whatever it is that polite society finds repulsive. That’s why Jews were condemned as both nefarious bankers controlling all the world’s money and shifty revolutionaries imperiling all capital; as both sexless creeps and oversexed lechers coming for the women and the girls; as both pathetically powerless and occultly powerful. . . And if you decide that there’s such a thing as ‘whites’ and that they are uniquely responsible for all evils perpetrated on the innocent and downtrodden, well, the Jews must be not only of them but nestled comfortably at the top of the white-supremacist pyramid.” It’s easy to blame the Jews : it’s a minority group, distinct, generally successful - an easy target. This is as old as the world itself unfortunately. Stop Antisemitism now! https://lnkd.in/gHmr7aYk

"Now just to be clear criticizing Israel is not automatically anti-semitic but if that criticism is based on race or religion it can be looking back what Europe did to Jews was unforgivable but it's also a lesson everything alien to us is not wrong everything we cannot comprehend is not wrong it's just different and that is the beauty of life and Humanity the world should try to understand and value such differences not stigmatize them that's the best tribute we can give as humans to those millions of Jews to make sure that no one goes through that pain again" Antisemitism is a long history of hatred and discrimination against Jewish people. It's often called the oldest form of discrimination, and it has taken many different forms over time. One of the worst examples was during the Holocaust when Hitler's Nazis killed millions of Jews. The roots of antisemitism can be traced back to the early Roman Empire when Jews' belief in one God made them seem suspicious to the polytheistic Romans. After Jesus's death, false accusations that Jews were responsible for his crucifixion led to religious rivalry and persecution by Christians. Over the centuries, Jews faced marginalization, lost basic rights, and were even expelled from various European kingdoms. It wasn't just about religion; propaganda played a role in spreading false accusations and stereotypes about Jews. Despite some improvements in the 1700s, antisemitism continued, and in the 19th century, it took on racial overtones, leading to violence and the Holocaust during Nazi Germany. India is the only place where Jewish people didn't have to face anti-semitism. 🇮🇳 🇮🇱

Elites, subalterns, and Muslims understand secularism from their respective vantage points. Considering the wide debate my recent piece on Subaltern Secularism generated, we have republished this 2019 piece that discussed this question. How the principles of secularism and social justice, both components of progressive politics, interacted in electoral politics could be understood in terms of the intense competition among caste-based interests groups for political power over the decades.

The notion of 'democracy' comes with the inalienable right to free speech. It used to be, you could say what you liked. However, with wafer-thin lines now, between hate speech and free speech, who's right and who's wrong? There are probably lots who might disagree that 'anti Zionists' are 'out to get her'. I think we 'get' what kind of 'demographic' watches Countdown. Rachel Riley's a pretty obvious target, for 'Daily Express Readers'. I find Rachel Riley, having an MBE in 2024, to be pretty disagreeable and against modern thinking. I think this is MUCH worse than what she, as a Jewish person, says, about what The Jewish State is up to. She's only saying what 'the silent Majority' of Jewish people think? So, should she be fired for this, as well? Outdated, British Empire sensibilities? If you disagree with the checkered History of Israel, should you disagree with the checkered History of the British Empire, too? Is a 'mass genocide' angle now entirely selective? In ANY religion, their 'spokespeople' say things, that many outwith the Religion, will find absolutely infuriating. Is it wrong? In the a modern, scientific context, unquestionably, yes. Can you argue with blind Faith though? Unquestionably, no. Religious Fundamentalism comes in many flavours. The Orange Lodge, Judaism, Reform UK, Paula Vennels, Jacob Rees Mogg, Donald Trump, the many and various Muslim Clerics we're now getting introduced to, in Iran. Is a deleted 'tweet' (no idea what we should call them now) REALLY a 'news' article? As we ALL know, if you're not a 'Twitter' type of person, don't go on X. Most don't. Is it now the Medium that runs stuff? Is fixating on anyone's religion calming waters, or inciting hatred? Pick your favourite and buckle up, it's now going to be the basis of most Press stuff.

The “free” , “independent” social media putting more and more videos like those in front all of us. Fully manipulative, saying npthing about the main issue. 1. This is not telling anything about real history but just something they raising as that land was belonged to zionist ideologized country. 2. As they mention if you say USA is free , although USA is known as country of most people as country of white, Christian , english speaker people , you does not mean the spanish speaker or black people or non christian does not have right to country. Those people are not ouf mind but out of heart and mercy. They are just supporting the most destructive isolpgy, move in human history. As being anti-nazist does not mean anti-christ or being anti-isis is not mean anti-muslim, clearly there is no relation between being anti-zionist and anti-semist for people who have hearts. Obviously if you are not anti-zionist clearly you are anti-human and anti any good things

"For many non-Jews, antisemitism matters deeply too. People everywhere who believe that all humans are created equal know that the presence of antisemitism in a society has often been the forerunner of other visceral, irrational hatreds, from racism to homophobia to Islamophobia...the most perniciously creative current in contemporary antisemitic thought is more likely to come from the left. Instead of disappearing among people who would condemn neo-Nazis, antisemitism is morphing again, right now, before our very eyes. The core of this new antisemitism lies in the idea that Jews are not a historically oppressed people seeking self-preservation but instead oppressors: imperialists, colonialists, and even white supremacists. This view preserves vestiges of the trope that Jews exercise vast power. It creatively updates that narrative to contemporary circumstances and current cultural preoccupations with the nature of power and injustice...To emphasize the narrative of Jews as oppressors, the new antisemitism must also somehow sidestep not only two millennia of Jewish oppression, but also the Holocaust, the largest organized, institutionalized murder of any ethnic group in human history...Genocide was recognized as a crime by the international community after the Holocaust. Accusing Israel of genocide can function, intentionally or otherwise, as a way of erasing the memory of the Holocaust and transforming Jews from victims into oppressors...Israel’s stated war aims are to hold Hamas accountable for the Oct. 7 attack on Israel and to get back its citizens who are still being held captive. These aims are lawful...During the Hamas attack, terrorists intentionally murdered children and raped women. Its charter calls for the destruction of the Jewish state. Yet the accusation of genocide is being made against Israel. These relevant facts matter for putting the genocide charge into the context of potential antisemitism. Neither South Africa nor other states have brought a genocide case against China for its conduct in Tibet or Xinjiang, or against Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.   There is something specifically noteworthy about leveling the charge at the Jewish state — something intertwined with the new narrative of the Jews as archetypal oppressors rather than archetypal victims. Call it the genocide sleight of hand: if the Jews are depicted as genocidal — if Israel becomes the very archetype of a genocidal state — then Jews are much less likely to be conceived as a historically oppressed people engaged in self-defense.   The new narrative of Jews as oppressors is, in the end, far too close for comfort to the antisemitic tradition of singling out Jews as uniquely deserving of condemnation and punishment, whether in its old religious form or its Nazi iteration."
