Cookbook Author Jake Cohen: It’s ‘Terrifying’ Being Jewish in America
New York Post ^ | November 22, 2021 | Nicki Gostin

Cookbook author Jake Cohen says it’s terrifying to be an “outward-facing, proud Jew in America” right now.

The up-and-coming foodie, who boasts over 600,000 Instagram followers, revealed that he’s been on the receiving end of some unpleasant glares as he travelled around the country promoting his cookbook, “Jew-ish: A Cookbook: Reinvented Recipes from a Modern Mensch.”

“You go to places and people’s eyes go straight to my Star of David,” the 27-year-old told Page Six recently. “It’s uncomfortable. I’ve been very lucky to not have a real instance of true harm. I think part of that is due to the fact that I’m a 6-foot-4 male Jew and that definitely works in my favor.”

Liberals hate everything inferior to them.
Which is why they hate pretty much everyone and everything.

Huh? Who, outside of Democrats, has problems with Jews?

27. He’s a snowflake, raised on being a victim and looking at every single thing as a threat to his existence.

I am Jewish also, and while I have heard a fair share of nasty comments about my religion, this has lessened over time. Here in south Texas, quite a number of Christians are outright friendly toward someone because they are Jewish - quite a contrast from the Northeast, where I was born and raised.

Oh, and being an armed Jew, and making no bones about being a patriotic and conservative person on top of that, has “disarmed” whatever stereotypes that a lot of people might have otherwise had. But I don’t suppose that this 27 y.o. snowflake would even touch a gun (let alone carry it), let alone “come out” as a conservative patriot...so this is HIS problem, not everyone else’s (as he seems to want to make it).

I hate to see him terrified. Maybe a nice place like North Korea, Afghanistan or Iraq would be more comfortable to him.

O-kay.

Please understand that I mean this in the nicest way possible but if you are uncomfortable here you can leave at any time.

What a self absorbed schmuck. You wear a Star of David around your neck then judge people looking to see what the tiny thing is and interpret is as ‘unpleasant’. Anyone who wears their necklace outside their shirt is inviting people to look at it and recognize it and pay attention to you, whether it is a Star of David, or a Cross, or a crescent of Islam, or a damned swastika for that matter. And you look like Adam Sandler’s dumber, not as funny, and creepier younger brother. He probably thinks you’re a schmuck too. So there.

I listen to a six foot, four inch Jew every morning. His name is Dennis Prager. He doesn’t seem terrified.

It’s not the Jewish thing. It’s the gay thing. That’s not a “I disagree with him, therefore he must be gay” insult. I did a web search. Anyway I’m sure he must be a nice boy.

It must not be too bad; he’s still here. Maybe he would be happier (couldn’t get much gayer) in Tel Aviv.
