So with the recent UN resolution regarding Israel many disgusting racist antisemitic republicans such as Paul Ryan and Orange Mussolini have either tweeted or made comments about it.
They neither care about Israel nor about Jews.
So what worries me is that in time where being a Jew is clearly no longer somewhat safe in America will have even less safety and protection.
There is already rampant antisemitism such as blood libel, Jews control media/banking/world canards, and rhetoric that would not be out of place if it came from neo-nazis in leftist activist progressive circles.
This is a massive problem and terrifying in its own right and I worry that that those that would be the more likely group to help Jews during these times will look at the right and go see they care about Jews and won’t do anything to Jews and Jews must clearly agree with them.
Basically I worry that the shit the people to right who don’t actually give a fuck about Jews and who are antisemitic will be taken as an excuse to harass Jews and as a reason to not have our backs in time when being a Jew is very much not safe.
When neo-nazis are making lists of Jews and their address, when newspapers are inciting mobs to go after Jews for crimes we haven’t even committed such as cancelling a xmas play, white supremacists are coming into the white house, the president to be is an honorary Cossack, and more along these lines being Jewish is extremely dangerous.
It has never been safe to be Jewish in America it has just been far more safe then most places.
Even in liberal blue cities being Jewish has not been safe no matter the year, but now it is not just not safe it is actively dangerous.
If you, yes you, consider yourself to be a progressive person who cares about marginalized minorities, racism, and discrimination then you need to step and have the backs of Jewish people and help us because these are some dangerous times for us.
The founder of the neo-Nazi website The Daily Stormer has announced that the site’s campaign of harassment against Jews in alt-right leader Richard Spencer’s hometown of Whitefish, Montana will continue with an armed march in January. Andrew Anglin claimed on Thursday that 200 people are already expected to participate in the march “against Jews, Jewish businesses and everyone who supports either,” which will take demonstrators carrying “high-powered rifles” through the center of the town.
Meet Betsy DeVos, Trump’s pick for Secretary of Education. She funds an institute that wants to bring back child labor and get rid of public education.
Betsy DeVos is from my area (West Michigan) and let me tell you: she comes from not one, but two of the most corrupt, entitled, extreme conservative families in the area.
Something else, that I feel like people really should be aware of is that our state government (led, of course, by Rick Snyder of the ongoing Flint Water Crisis) just stated that literacy is not a right.
What happened is that some students in Detroit tried to sue the state because they have been denied access to literacy (through disinvestment and indifference to Detroit’s public schools). And the official response is that state legislation only requires that there be a system of free public schools. So yeah, there are schools. Schools without money or resources. But they’re there, and literacy is not a right (apparently).
Meanwhile, Betsy DeVos is a huge supporter of charter schools. Which means that she’s strongly anti-public school. She never went to public school, nor did any of her children.
Also: the DeVos family contributed over $9 million to the Tr*mp campaign.
