He sure as Hades alluded to it in his reply hoss
Get your facts straight before you try to stir up what I'm sure you were hoping could lead to you calling someone anti Semite when in fact it looked like nothing of the sort. I too read Jewbacca's posts and wondered how these kids knew he was Jewish for sure till Jewbacca said in the reply to you this:
Nope, 100% Ashkenazi, beard, kippot, etc.
Powersboothfan did nothing wrong whatsoever...I too would like to know that if Jewbacca dresses traditional or has peyos etc does he frequently get slurred by strangers etc and what sorts of folks do that if it is common
I lived in Manhattan in the 80s and worked in the Diamond District and never saw anything like that there..and there were Lubavitch and other Orthodox all over the place ...we even have a few here in Nashville...one is a prominant gun rights advocate whom I actually know...
You want to find serious anti Jewishness...go to some black areas or to our Muslim communities and you have it in spades...ferreting around this forum is silly...arguably there is not a stronger pro Israel forum on the internet
You have been a real jerk for nothing and you owe Powers an apology.
Any freeper can review the exchange and see for themselves you were making something up hoping to smear someone for bigotry that was not there.
I absolutely detest when freepers here do that....and lord knows they do...there is nothing some here on a conservative forum like better than smearing someone as bigot or racist.
No apology to you.
Yes, I am an Orthodox Jewish guy. Israeli native, although also a USA citizen.
Regarding “anti-semitic” events, it’s probably monthly I get something.
Anytime I ride the subway in the northeast in a non-Jewish area, I’ll get something from a bum, typically a black guy. Just crude comments trying to get a rise. Same stuff they do to women or you, but targeted at visible Jewishness. I don’t know if I count that.
Hairly eyeball from arab/ME street vendors, etc. any time they see me. Don’t count that. They probably do that to everyone.
Catcalls (”[insert insult] Jooooooooo”) in London, Paris. Typical stuff. I tend to wave and say “thank you, yes, I know!”
Actual, real, events have been 5-6 over a lifetime.
I got put in the hospital in Cambridge by a drunk white guys who decided to run up and smash the back of our heads we paving stones as we walked to shul one Friday night. This was, by far, the most serious.
My wife and I had a very unpleasant encounter with arabs on the Berkeley campus (she was there for medical conference), where we got pushed around out of the blue. I got a fat lip and I broke some teeth out of one guy.
The slurpee incident in Houston, which was unpleasant, but no big deal. Ruined my shirt and tie, but no one sat next to me on the Soutwest flight!
There are some others that I forget as I sit here, and lots of stupid crap in school that I don’t count.
On the bright/funny side, I got asked to have sex in an asian country so the woman (who was married and a professional, and no, not that kind of “professional”) could have smart children who would do well financially. She was very serious and rather insulted I wouldn’t sleep with her.
Not sure if that was “anti” semitic, but it was very odd.
