America’s Jews face a New Reality
American Thinker ^ | 6 Jun, 2021 | Ardie Geldman

Unless this menace somehow passes quickly, this new reality is a game-changer for America’s Jews.

Hitler’s Brown Shirts are alive and well, trolling the streets of America in keffiyehs, harassing and assaulting Jews, painting swastikas on walls, and vandalizing synagogues and Jewish-owned property. This is the image that comes to mind, a comparison between the activities of the Nazi Party’s para-military troops of the 1930s who attacked Jewish citizens of Germany and vandalized Jewish-owned property, and the swarms of pro-Palestinian ruffians who have literally been hunting Jews in order to harass and assault them.

This sudden explosion of violent physical antisemitic behavior witnessed in recent days in a number of large American cities, but also in Toronto and London, was not a spontaneous expression of mass rage. It was almost certainly an orchestrated campaign emanating from somewhere within the Gaza-based Hamas terrorist organization.

For over a half-century and throughout all of Israel’s wars, American Jews have felt secure when publicly demonstrating their support for the Jewish state, as secure as when walking down the street simply going about their daily business; there was no reason not to. Jews identifiable by their garb, a kippa, a Magen David or a Hebrew necklace felt no threat to their person. Their homes were their castles. Jewish businesses were never singled-out and targeted. Until recently American synagogues required no security. This idyll is no longer the case and it represents a watershed in American Jewish life.

It is natural to wish that this new reality be limited in both scope and time. It is understandable for Jews to think “This is America, America is different,” or perhaps “It will never come to my neighborhood,”

80% ? more like 70% and falling. And the polling generally includes unaffiliated half-Jews in liberal cities.

Adding the security is good, but Jewish people helping vote in leftist government is suicide.

physical antisemitic behavior

Oh, so they don’t like Arabs either? They’re Semitic as well.

No common ground to be found here.

Yes there is. They’re all Semites. Let them duke it out on their own. I’m fairly sure that Israel will win in the end anyway.

Why give foreign aid to any side? Or any country for that matter. Where is our free health care? Oh, not allowed to mention that.

What’s the point? Because the British say so?

A Zionist false-flag conspiracy, just like the Holocaust./S

They take a cue from the White Supremacists burning down Black neighborhoods disguised as BLM, hanging nooses in NASCAR garages, and assaulting Jusse Smollet./S

Antisemites hate Jews and antisemitism means hatred of Jews. It does not mean hatred of Semites.
If you have a problem with the definition, take it up with Welhelm Marr of the Austrian Antisemitic League. I hate to use a reductio ad Hitlerium, but the Nazis were allied with the Arab Nationalists, Muslim Brotherhood, and Jerusalem's Grand Mufti Haj Amin al-Husseini. al-Husseini helped raise SS units with the promise of murdering Jews. Does this make Hitler less antisemitic? Of course not.

In a dispute between between Israel and Hamas, we should stand against Hamas.
1. Hamas was co-founded by Sheikh Abdullah Yusuf Azzam, who would later found Makhtab al Khidamat, which became Al Qaeda, after his sucessor Osama Bin Laden took over.
2. Hamas is a proxy of Iran, a country at war with America.
3. Any Hamas perceived victory helps Sunni and Shia Islamists and destabilizes the region.I prefer the region export oil instead of terrorists and waves of refugees
