Its Open Season on Jews

[Pony]

You do realize it’s unfair and textbook racism to hold a community to a higher standard, right? You can make a plea for better traffic safety without simultaneously apologizing for inexcusable anti-Semitic intolerance.

The Buffalo shooter had plenty of excuses, no doubt.

Absolutely. The anti semetisim is abhorrent. I'm on the receiving side while walking to shul minding my own business almost every shabbos. And they will have to face their Creator one day and give a din vcheshbon. My point is that we find ourselves in a set of facts.

Fact # 1: We are in golus. The sooner we internalize that for ourselves, the better.
Fact # 2: We shouldn't do foolish things (like driving like a NYer in Lakewood) to exasperate this, even if we are right and they are wrong. Be smart, not right.

Nothing of the above means that we should allow our rights to be trampled upon. Like when Jackson and Toms River tried using local laws to stop building shuls it was 100% correct to sue them to stop those illegal and anti semetic laws. But some good old fashioned sechel is always called for. Yes, we are held to a higher standard, and we should live up to it.

they are the locals because we do not belong here in galus so we are not locals

Ah, you believe there is nothing wrong with a Gentile acting antisemitic towards a Jew and justifying it with us being in Galus?

I don’t disagree.

Then you misread my post

Name a time someone told you you should have been gassed to death. When you committed no obvious wrongdoing.

according to some poskim, it's not anti-Semitism unless the perpetrator state "I hereby say or do the following with the intention to be anti-Semitic." They need to say this beforehand. If they say it afterward, but not before, it's not anti-Semitism.

Or in non halachic terms, it's only antisemitism if it is done in the Charlottesville region of the United States. Anywhere else and it's just sparkling anti-colonialism.

I watch the news all the time and they call out antisemitism. Your attitude is just as dangerous as those who say there is no antisemitism. 

[S209]

Your attitude is just as dangerous as those who say there is no antisemitism.

This is definitely not true at all.

[CountValentine]

This is definitely not true at all.

Would you say both attitudes are wrong?

I don't watch the news. Do they call out left wing anti semitism as much as they do right wing?

LOL, my post is a common meme. It's a joke. Based on truth, but a joke nonetheless. And even if I was being literal, that still wouldn't be *as dangerous* as antisemitism.

Which demographic poses the greatest threat to a visible Jew in the United States

Which demographic poses the greatest threat to a visible Jew in the United States

I would imagine that changes by location

[jj1000]

I would imagine that changes by location

Also how you define threat.

Intermarriage, finanical, physical violence, hate speech, murder, etc.

When I see a report about a synagogue defaced in Chicago they don't have a left/right wing label on it.

My views are influenced by this forum? I guess growing up right next to the home of the white nationalist party would not influence those views?
