For Jews, Not A Great Spring (So Far) - Joshua Namm

Doing what I do for a living, given my lifelong passion for the Jewish community, and just being a Jew – I am, in no way, even remotely, a stranger to antisemitism.

March and April were horrific months for global antisemitism. I didn't see anyone else writing about the totality of just how bad it was, culminating in the stabbings of two Jews in front of a synagogue in Golders Green, London. So I wrote this month's column about it. Please share this, it's important that people understand what is going on.

How bad does it have to get before Jews finally leave?

Jews need not wait until things are so bad that they have exhausted all of their options.

I’ve been talking about this all weekend. The West CLEARLY has no interest in us remaining here. Every day brings new attacks on Jews while pro-Hamas demonstrations continue around the world. Displays of antisemtism are now common in the streets, at music festivals and in popular culture. The Arab Muslims are joined by American, Canadian, French, Swedish, British, Belgian, Spanish etc. non-Jews all over the world. Yet unless Jews organize counter-demonstrations, populated by Jews, there is no significant population that stands with us. Thousands of non-Jews claims that they are our allies all day long on social media - while virtually none do anything in their real lives. It’s obvious that our time in the world outside of Israel is limited. After centuries of contributing, extremely disproportionately, to every aspect of Western life - we are,apparently, disposable.
