Have You Experienced Anti-Semitism? Share Your Story

[Yehuda57]

*ducks under table*
*discovers Chabad house there*

This is at least the third time you've ducked under the table

**gets offered a few Lechaims from the Lubavitchers there**

When are you gonna learn

I haven't seen any of those.

I didn't think you would.

They take advantage of minyanim and food, while laughing at Chabad minhagim or Chabad being the nearest religion to Judaism. Astounding that this attitude still exists, but I just witnessed it last week.

When and why do you think this attitude began?

Threw a blow so mad and chilling
Tragically, we never did recover

I'm sorry for ruining the Anti-Semetic thread with my question about anti Semitic Jews. We can go back to anti Semitism from non Jews now.

A flight attendant on Swiss Air asked in a hate filled voice when i asked to wash for bread and was washing, "why do you (meaning Jews) do that."

Beeped at and shouted at by Arabs as i walked on Shabbos along the road.

Maybe he means Bein? I'm being dan likav zchus.

LOL, as if "Bein" would be something he'd attend and not something that would give him an aneurysm just thinking about joining.

Technically not anti-Semitism, as Arabs are also Semites (descendants of Shem)

That's not how language works. Antisemitism is against Jews, regardless of its etymological roots

I think that is what the ADL is harping on. "anti-Semitism" implies against Semites. "Antisemitism" implies this new invention we made which means Jew hatred.

Which is why I used the word "technically."

Why does that prevent them from being antisemitic against others

This whole with a hyphen without a hyphen mishegas is making me anti semantic

1 incident comes to mind. Was on a bus during summer on a camp trip and we were on the NY 17 in the Catskills and there was traffic. A prison bus transferring inmates passed by and 2 of them managed with their handcuffs to slightly open the window, and they screamed at us “dirty Jews go take a shower”. We couldn’t stop laughing….

Whoever decided to change the clocks less than a week before a tanis, is definitely an Anti Semite!
