9. When people were protesting Israel and attacking/targeting Jewish students, antisemitism was dismissed

Nov 1

by saying people were taking it out of context. Racism and sexism do not get the "out of context" treatment.

When a temple is vandalized, the news of it lasts a day or two and then disappears. The outrage against the anti-Asian violence that happened a few years ago was broadcast daily.

Jews have been targeted for years to little or no fanfare against it, yet we are not considered a protected class.

The Holocaust is denied by many people. Slavery is not.

"The Jews won't replace us." No place did I see or hear "homosexuals won't replace us." Because we have always been a convenient, easy target.

"Arbeit Macht Frei" can be put on a float and it seems no one at this parade stopped it, mentioned anything, or did anything to prevent. If these little Nazis went blackface, the outrage would spread throughout the country.

The right wing hates us. The left wing hates us.

I could go on about this, but I want to keep this short. If I went on, this post would be pages long.
