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.”

I think Jake is doing fairly well for himself even if he’s 6’4.

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

Same here though I don’t get to listen as much as I would like to. Dennis Prager is a gift!

Gostin should have a fireside chat with David Horowitz.

The most ugliest anti-Semitism I have personally witnessed in my life has come exclusively from liberals.

Maybe he should stop traveling and hole up somewhere for a while.

I suspect this guy has been hanging around with AOC and the Squad way too much.

“Here in south Texas, quite a number of Christians are outright friendly toward someone because they are Jewish “

Because they believe in the Abrahamic covenant and that God will bless those who bless you.

When you’re six foot four, a Star of David around your neck is right at eye level for most of the rest of us, so one cannot help but look at it.

That this schlemiel finds that terrifying is quite funny.

Good God.

“Unpleasant stares”.

This is the level that means AmErica is evil and racist. AND just plain mean and cruel.

But then, I’ve long stated that our weasely liberal culture is leading to accusations of cruelty based on “daggers in the eyes”. I meant this specifically for dog training! And hence naturally applied to children, or any preferred adult humans.

So yes, these evil eyes and icy stares can now qualify as unmitigated bullying and cruelty and hence RACISM!

I went to Israel in 2019.

One of the main questions posed to our Jewish tour guides was.....”Why do Liberal Jews hate Israel?”

I’ve often wondered about the difference between “cultural” and “observant”.

It is hard to wrap my head around, sometimes.

There, clearly, seems to be a hatred from secular (cultural) Jews for Israel.

JMO.
