We must reassert Jewish ties to 'Palestinian' land

The most outrageous part of UNESCO’s designation is its collusion with Palestinian efforts to not only erase the city’s Jewish heritage but claim it as their own.

These people are erasing Jewish history. Leftists claim that they are against erasing indigenous history. They are liars, hypocrites, and bigots. Jericho was a Jewish city more than 2,500 years before a single Arab stepped foot in the region, and more than 3,500 years before the invention of “Palestinian” nationhood (Arabs never referred to themselves as “Palestinians” before 1967). Israel must to do whatever necessary to preserve our history.

I lived in S. Diego for 13 years. It’s an antisemitic cesspool. I’ve had about 5 antisemitic incidents happen to me personally in Los Angeles where I grew up. The number was at least three times that in my time there. And is anyone surprised that this person is a progressive? Most of the incidents I experienced involved progressives. Which was surprising because I expected, given its reputation going up, that it would have come from the far right. We still get it from both sides, living there demonstrated to me how much times have changed.

This also mirrored my experiences:

Brown later expressed her shock that only one of the assembled commissioners — Kate Clark, who works for Jewish Family Services — took Raufi to task for his remarks. “It was so unbelievably shocking in the moment — and even more shocking was the silence of every single commissioner and county staff,” she told the San Diego Union-Tribune.

Almost all of the antisemitism I experienced there happened in public. While I can, and did, handle those incidents myself, the most shocking part was, and this is true in L.A. too, every non-Jew, EVERY SINGLE time, say there in silence. These are mostly the same people who would have gone berserk if a black pardon had been called the “n-word.” It really reminds us that, as Jews, we can only rely on ourselves.
