Maybe this should have been here;

A Democrat congresswoman-elect is defending a CNN contributor who called for the annihilation of the state of Israel.

No as that is political and belongs in the political thread. Lets try and keep JS crap out of this thread.

For you it's political, for me it's life and death.

So you want to solve that problem in this thread? That is not what this thread is about. Either way have at it.

I read the stories about ELAL and the Israeli news media and have to wonder. Is anti-Semitism less in Israel than in the US?
Do you really not feel safe in the US? Our country is in a terrible place if this is true.

I wouldn't call it anti-Semitism but there is defiantly a culture war in Israel, it can get violent sometimes.

Putting this thread back on track, I definitely feel the same as the OP the Jews in Germany felt extremely comfortable and secure until they didn't. By then it was too late.
We know that anti semitism is a disease that will never go away for good (see meshech chochma) or for bad.
It's not if but when. We can't afford to wait till that point again.

Not saying I feel it's imminent, just have to always keep our selves aware

A non jew driving in front of us (on the BQE heading to the Verrazano bridge) smashed into the divider AKA crash barrier, the car involved looked like the one in picture, and our vehicle side swiped that car, here we go traffic jam on the BQE (rarely happens) a car passed by opened the window and started yelling "You Jews suck you drive without licence and that's what happens" and zipped off, just saying

Not sure if because I was Catholic. How would they know I was Catholic?
Now I can give you hundreds of examples because I am white.
Either way what does that have to do with this thread?

Do people get worried or offended by comments such as the ones in the post above? Whenever I see such type of comments it barely affects me in any way. I sort of just read them and ignore it.

Not usually.  I mean, I'm aware of it. When it's situations like that I just feel more focused on the fact that the story is a chillul Hashem.

But it's not lost on me how many people quickly call out 'those Jews' -

Then again it's not rare to see Jews doing somewhat the same thing necessarily when they see ----- (fill in the blank) doing something wrong or inappropriate. 


Those Blacks, those Arabs, those "Goyim", those  Conservative, those Lubavitchers, those Israelis.
People do things like that all the time.
We just don't generally want to kill those people or post wanting their deaths on social media.


The commentary like that aren't as much my concern. I honestly believe most of those people posting wouldn't want to hurt anyone.

But that doesn't mean there aren't plenty out there that do.

No, you must be confusing this with another forum.

That’s the downside of being involved in an accident on the BQE while being visibly Jewish..

The upside is that you’re never alone.. when I totaled a car on the BQE a few years ago I’ve merely stepped out of the car to assess the damage literally 20 seconds after the impact.. and a random fellow Jew stoped and took home my wife and kids.. Were they not picked up, they would’ve spent the next two 2 hours with me on an open highway with speeding 18 wheelers only to arrive home with a sketchy bumpy flatbed truck.. think positive!

ETA:
here are some pictures.. btw the impact resulted in the front cars muffler to punch a piece out of the plates.. talk about perfection..

American history is what? not even 300 yrs old? the first Bais Hamikdash was 410 yrs and those were the best times in Jewish history. Even the second BM was not very settling. When we look at history as a whole it looks like it was straight hard times and now were 'safe'..pick a time 200 yrs into the first BM and it looks good as far as the eye can see...we're so spoiled here..
