Sign at future San Diego Jewish center vandalized with threatening graffiti

Threatening graffiti was written on a sign announcing the future home of the University of California San Diego Hillel Jewish Center in the United States.

This is very sad, I lived in San Diego for 13 years and still consider it a second home. But, to be very honest, this doesn't surprise me at all. I experienced more (real) antisemitism during my time in San Diego than I had in my entire life previous to living there. It's just reality that outside of LA and New York it's just more common (although I have experienced it in LA too - particularly during my time at USC which has a history of looking the other way at bigotry when it's directed at Jews).

Jews Get to Define Anti-Semitism, Not Shaun King – Tablet Magazine

As someone who has been called a "heeb," a "kike," and a "f'ing Zioinist Jew," along with several other incidents, I always find it bizarre when the purveyors of identity politics claim that I posses "white privilege" and have no idea what bigotry was like. I grew up around Holocaust survivors, some of my family members experienced serious antisemitism here in the United States, and the Nazis put millions of my people into overs just a generation before I was born. Sorry, but unless you are Jewish: you absolutely do NOT get to tell is what we experience as Jews. I find identity politics to be pretty abhorrent.

The American Jewish Committee is urging Russian President Vladimir Putin to "clarify" his comments suggesting that Russian minority groups, including Jews, could be behind efforts to meddle in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

The American Jewish Committee should be doing A LOT more than asking Putin to " clarify." The idea that Jews who are Russian citizens are not truly Russian, is a very old antisemitic claim. To hear it from the Russian head of state in 2018 is surreal. I've been saying this for decades, but mainstream Jewish communal groups need to WAKE UP and stop acting like being civil is more important than taking action. Putin ought to be condemned for this and the American Jewish community should be demanding action from our government that lets Russia know that these kinds of comments have repercussions. Anything less is weak, feckless and meaningless.

It is wielded mot often to deny our millennia old connection to Israel-and was unheard of until relatively recently.

"The fact that Jews writ large are not racially European (i.e. white), but rather an indigenous Middle Eastern/”Oriental” people who are cousins of the Arabs, was common knowledge until the 1960s. And this knowledge only became obscured with the concomitant rise of anti-Zionist ideology, which rests on denying Jewish indigeneity to the Middle East and, by extension, our right to be there at all (at least as something other than “inferior dhimmi”)."

Yes, yes and yes again. This is the best opinion piece I have read in years concerning the quickly growing mutual exclusivity of being a proud Jew and a progressive liberal in the current American form of liberalism (which is not what many people refer to as classical liberalism). As the author of the article states "Since when did a politics that celebrates choice — and choices — devolve into a requirement of being forced to choose?" It is very sad that American Jews are being forced to choose, like their ancestors in Europe, between their identities and "fitting in."

Antisemitism is never going to fully go away. We all know that. But it must be recognized, acknowledged and confronted. That means confronting it both on the right and on the left. The left has been getting a free pass for many years. It shouldn't (and obviously neither should it on the right).

"The apathy and, at times, antipathy of many on the left when it comes to anti-Semitism is a deep betrayal of the Jewish people. We see it when Stanford students argue that propagating the Nazi conspiracy theory of “Jews controlling the media, economy, government, and other societal institutions” is not anti-Semitic. We see it when the Vice-President of the UC Santa Cruz Jewish Student Union, a member of student government, is asked to abstain on a vote relating to Israel because of his “Jewish agenda.” And we see it most virulently on anonymous forums, when students on our own campus’s Yik-Yak assert that Jews should view their ethnic heritage as akin to being “descended from a Confederate officer” and that anti-Semitism itself is a conspiracy invented by the Rothschild banking family to let Jews oppress people of color."

Bannon's ex-wife: 'He didn’t want the girls going to school with Jews'

Bannon's ex-wife said in 2007 he didn't want their kids at a school with Jewish students.

One of the many things that I don't get about the support for Trump is how people can keep telling themselves that he will surround himself with "the best people." So far his people have been a disaster. This disgusting man is exhibit A.

France's Jews Flee As Rioters Burn Paris Shops, Attack Synagogue

France’s politicians and community leaders have criticised the “intolerable” violence against Paris’ Jewish community, after a pro-Palestinian rally led to the vandalizing and looting of Jewish businesses and the burning of cars.

"It is the third time in a week where pro-Palestinian activists have clashed with the city’s Jewish residents. On Sunday, locals reported chats of “Gas the Jews” and “Kill the Jews”, as rioters attacked businesses in the Sarcelles district, known as “little Jerusalem.""

Troubling.

"A 13-year-old girl is murdered and this man put forward as an advocate of peace, non-violence, tolerance and understanding justifies it on the grounds of “occupation.”

And in case you think this is a one-off misunderstanding, this is what he posted not long after the terror attack."

Donald Trump’s Anti-Semitic Supporters | National Review

Trump’s anti-Semitic supporters believe they’ve identified the enemy, even if Trump won’t say it out loud.

I know this to be true from my own experiences with dozens of Trump supporters. There is a higher percentage that are seriously anti-Semitic than there is in the general population.

Shapiro nails it:

"when you attach Constitution-less “America first” philosophy to zero-sum, conspiratorial economics and politics, all that’s left is to identify an enemy to blame. Trump’s anti-Semitic supporters believe they’ve identified that enemy, even if Trump won’t say it out loud. The anti-Semites believe that Trump’s zero-sum critique of free markets and foreign policy hawkishness, combined with his “America first” posturing, amounts to a rejection of the supposedly Jewish financial lobby on the one hand and the supposedly all-powerful Israel lobby on the other; they believe that Trump’s nationalism without philosophy amounts to an embrace of the blood-and-soil white supremacism they celebrate."
