After 16 months of delays, Jewish community leaders from across New Jersey traveled to Trenton last week, prepared to testify before the Assembly Community Development and Women’s Affairs Committee about why Jews need a definition of hate that protects them.
Instead, Democratic Assemblywoman Shavonda Sumter opened the hearing by canceling the scheduled vote and announcing it would be “discussion only.”
Her reason? “These issues are complex.”
Antisemitism is not complex. It’s hate. It’s direct. It’s deliberate. It’s deadly.
Imagine arriving at your own state capital, prepared to speak your truth, only to be told that the threats you face and the harassment you endure for being Jewish, are somehow too difficult to confront, and that your safety is debatable.
In the stunned silence that followed, Democratic Assemblyman Gary Schaer, the bill’s primary sponsor, and Jason Shames, CEO of the Federation of Northern New Jersey, described the sudden decision as “deeply hurtful, disturbing, and disappointing to the more than 600,000 Jews who call New Jersey home. We will return when there’s a vote.”
With quiet dignity, they and those who had come prepared to speak left the room in protest.
Then came the testimony.
The hearing began with Sadaf Jaffer, former Assemblywoman (D) and Princeton researcher, launching into a tirade accusing Israel of murdering New Jerseyans and children abroad. At the 17:16 mark of the official hearing audio, she stated: “The goal of the silencing campaign is for Israel to be able to kill them and say they enjoyed it.”
It was a modern blood libel, grotesque and public, delivered in opposition to a bill meant to protect Jews from hate. She made no distinction between the Israeli government and Jews supporting the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism, and that was her point.

“Sadaf Jaffer” hates the Jews? What a shock.
Sounds like time to reopen Nuremburg.
Which blue state has yet to go nuts?
Niemals vergessen?
Leider, besser gesagt als: Immer und Für Immer.
Never forget?
Sadly, better said as Always and Forever.
Wow.
Swap out the word ‘black’ for ‘Jewish’ and I am sure *Shavonda* wouldn’t find it so complex after all.
I doubt that I need Gallup or any other polling firm to tell me how the million or so Jews in New Jersey VOTE and direct their political contributions.
...and the thing is, NOTHING WILL CHANGE in that regard. For whatever reason, Jews in the US still fear Christians far more than they fear Muslims and other tribals that actually want them dead.
It’s all very simple:
Follow them.
Punch them in the face.
Why do men say “excuse me” almost everywhere in a store but women do not?
Men know men can punch in the face.
Terrorism? Today everything FADDISH is labelled a hate crime that offends us. Gays, trannies, blacks, are the fad, Jews and Whites and Catholics are not.
Don’t go there Jews: wasted breath.
What used to scare us we called bad. Now we call it terrorism. But only the faddish things.
Chanting from the river to the see is not terrorism because tge fad is with hamas. Of course it scares the hell out of the jews. Don’t go there Jews. Follow them. Punch them in the nose. Share the “scare”. Hey, that’s like a cool chant line: share the scare.
When they abusers are alone, unexpecting: punch them in the nose. It needs to be ingrained, like it is in men.
Like it is in hamas in gaza now that the Israeli’s followed them....
That, or offer it up to Jesus for the sins of the world, like Pro-Lifers do.
Either you bleed; love,
or they bleed; scare.
Government is USELESS. Public opinion is useful only for satan.
“What happened in Trenton wasn’t a discussion. It was erasure. A systematic assault designed to replace the global Jewish consensus that Zionism is central to Jewish identity with fringe theology serving as a fig leaf for ancient hatred.”
This has everything to do with hating God above all and it is satanic.
Antisemitism is of the devil. Those of them and of you who are antisemitic, think about a rational reason why—there is none—your father the devil has implanted antisemitism in you based on jealousy, envy, hatred, stupidity, ignorance. Dream on, God will protect Judaism. Christianity is a kind of Judaism, Jesus was born into a Jewish family, Mary and Joseph were Jewish and practiced Judaism, Jesus loved Judaism, you cannot say you are a Christian and hate Judaism.
Sounds like they're advocating for hate crime laws.
It was a modern libel, grotesque and public, delivered in opposition to a bill meant to protect Jews from hate.
Sounds like they want to make hate speech a crime.
You directed this at me? Go back and read my post again- you clearly misunderstood it.
No, sorry. Good talking point, but no.
Belief in Christ as the incarnation of God, who died and rose again for the forgiveness of sins, is the core belief of Christianity.
Rejection of Christ is a core belief of Talmudic Judaism.
Christianity and Judaism are polar opposites on this core belief.
Buddhism is closer to both, because Buddhism has no position on Christ.
You can be an atheist and worse, and Talmudic Jews will accept you as a fellow Jew if you have "Jewish blood." But you lose your Jewish status if you accept Christ. Rabbi Smuley Botech, Dennis Prager, and other Jews, have all said that if you believe in Christ, you cease being a Jew.
Jesus explicitly rejected Talmudic Judaism (the "tradition of the Pharisees) -- and they rejected, and continue to reject Him. So Jesus and Christianity have no connection to Talmudic Jews.
There's nothing "anti-Semitic" about saying this. Read some Jewish publications. Jews often state all of the above. They just don't like Christians hearing it.
That depends on what legislation would be proposed. There was no vote on any legislation, just a bunch of psychotic screeds against Jews, after they left the meeting. “Sounds like” sounds like inuendo. Now ‘scuse me. Gotta go kill me some Jersey-ans. Blintzes to make, and I need a good filling.
No I directed my comment at the idiots in New Jersey.
