For Jews in America and around the world, Israel represents a thriving land of survival and opportunity, and not only for my people. Nowhere else in the Middle East are those of all races, religions, sexes and sexual orientations welcome to live in peace and prosperity. Now the dream is dying — thwarted by people who’d like nothing better than to see Israel wiped from the map.
It’s a sad day across the United States and abroad as whiny, privileged college students and thrill-seeking provocateurs, egged on by leftist professors, the “mainstream” news media and numbskull politicians, foment pro-terrorist, anti-Jewish violence. They prove, once again, that no place is safe for Jews.

They’ve been expelled over 1000 times from different cities in 109 countries.
If a guy gets kicked out of all the bars in a small town, it would be his fault, right? But why is it when we’re talking about jews, all of a sudden it’s antisemitism?
jews aren’t White.
The writer should look in the mirror.
Since you won’t answer/defend we have to go with your tag is your position.
You are under the delusion that Jewish Leftists all support Israel and then put Israel above their ideology. Both are false.

Jews are butchered and expelled for not being Christian, and you blaim the Jews. Jews are kept from most vocations and forced to become money lenders. Those indebted to Jews rile up a mob to kill and rob them. Black Death occurs and Jews die in lower numbers because of higher standards of cleanliness. This is taken as proof that Jews are poisoning wells. Mentally ill Christians project Roman blood libel of Christians onto Jews, and Jews are expelled. Christians fantasize that Jews give a crap about Christian crackers and fantasize that we have a religious need to torture the Mass's host. Christians go to war with Muslims and kill or expel Jews out of pure bigotry. Should I go on?
Who Are the Semites? - Bernard E. Lewis
A historian traces the origins of the term. [EXCERPTS:]
Semites
As far back as 1704, the German philosopher and polymath Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz had identified a group of cognate languages which included Hebrew, old Punic, i.e., Carthaginian, Chaldaean, Syriac, and Ethiopic. To this group he gave the name "Arabic," after its most widely used and widely spoken member. To call a group by the name of one of its members could easily give to confusion, and Leibniz's nomenclature was not generally accepted.
It was not until 1781 that this group was given the name which it has retained ever since. In that year, August Ludwig Schlozer contributed an essay on this subject to a comprehensive German work on biblical and Oriental literature. According Schlozer, "from the Mediterranean Sea to the Euphrates and from Mesopotamia down to Arabia, as is known, only one language reigned. The Syrians, Babylonians, Hebrews and Arabs were one people. Even the Phoenicians who were Hamites spoke this language, which I might call the Semitic." Schlozer goes on to discuss other languages of the area, and tries to fit them, not very successfully, into the framework provided by Genisis 10.
"Semitic" Languages
The idea that Semitic languages derived from one original language (by German philologists sometimes called Ursemitisch or proto-Semitic, and that the peoples speaking these languages were descended from one people, exercised considerable influence and caused some confusion.
By 1855, the French scholar Ernest Renan, one of the pioneers of Semitic philology, wrote complaining: "We can now see what an unhappy idea Eichhorn [sic; should be Schlozer apud Eichhorn] had when he gave the name of Semitic to the family of Syro-Arab languages. This name, which usage obliges us to retain, has been and will long remain the cause of a multitude of confusions.
"I repeat again that the name Semite here [Renan is referring to his pioneer study on Semitic philology] has only a purely conventional meaning: it designates the peoples who have spoken Hebrew, Syriac, Arabic or some neighboring dialect, and in no sense the people who are listed in the tenth chapter of Genesis as the descendants of Shem, who are, or at least half of them, of Aryan origin."
Renan was of course right in pointing to the dangers of taking "the generations of the sons of Noah" as a basis for philological classification. He might have gone further. The descendants of Ham, conventionally the ancestor of the Africans, include, in addition to Egypt and Ethiopia, Canaanites and Phoenicians, who lived in the Syro-Palestinian area and spoke a language very similar to Hebrew.
Defining Race
The confusion between race and language goes back a long way, and was compounded by the rapidly changing content of the word "race" in European and later in American usage. Serious scholars have pointed out — repeatedly and ineffectually — that "Semitic" is a linguistic and cultural classification, denoting certain languages and in some contexts the literatures and civilizations expressed in those languages.
As a kind of shorthand, it was sometimes retained to designate the speakers of those languages. At one time it might thus have had a connotation of race, when that word itself was used to designate national and cultural entities. It has nothing whatever to do with race in the anthropological sense that is now common usage. A glance at the present-day speakers of Arabic, from Khartoum to Aleppo and from Mauritania to Mosul, or even of Hebrew speakers in the modern state of Israel, will suffice to show the enormous diversity of racial types.
Jews are white .
…..
Ok...what are YOUR NUMBERS? Betcha dont answer.
These Israeli politicians don't care about Europe nor America, they will flood us with refugees to destroy the west.
You are cherry picking. European Jews generally vote for parties that oppose immigration. Meanwhile, Netanyahu has been meeting and protecting the European Right. https://foreignpolicy.com/2019/02/24/why-benjamin-netanyahu-loves-the-european-far-right-orban-kaczynski-pis-fidesz-visegrad-likud-antisemitism-hungary-poland-illiberalism/
Depends on the election. A lot of Republicans have carried the Jewish vote in New York City for two decades. Ron DeSantis carried it in Southern Florida.
Do you think you are smart by playing the communist game of ignoring the actual history of the term “antisemitism.” “Antisemitism” comes from 19th century Germany and Austria, where politically semitismus meant equal rights for Jews, and antisemitismus meant opposition to rights for Jews and/or racial hatred of Jews?
Numbers...percentages?
They claim to be white when it suits them, then show what they really are when it suits them.
