(Jewish Group) Why Do Jews Have To Be Murdered For You To Admit Anti-Semitism Is Real?

[Behind the Aegis]

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

or the second time this year, a white supremacist marched into a synagogue and shot it up. On the six-month anniversary of the deadly shooting in the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, a copycat inspired by that attack marched into the Chabad of Poway and opened fire.

In the wake of the horrific attack, many were the forceful condemnations of hate. I’ve read meaningful, painful expressions of solidarity.

But one disturbing phrase kept popping up. Everyone from Presidential Candidate Kamala Harris, Republican Senator Tim Scott, Democratic Representative Ted Lieu, and even Jewish writers and activists felt the need to announce: “anti-Semitism is real.”

Hearing this didn’t make me feel better. It made me feel worse.

Of course, anti-Semitism is real. That should go without saying. According to the Anti-Defamation League, over one billion people in the world harbor anti-Semitic attitudes. These hateful thoughts are leading to real atrocities; 2017 was plagued by 1,986 anti-Semitic hate crimes, plus a march where hundreds of white nationalists, white supremacists, and neo-Nazis came together to chant that “Jews will not replace us.”

1. It is sad and shocking. Like many people I have issues with

Israel and their policies but that has everything to do with their hateful right-wing politics and nothing to do with my feeling about Jews.

I am revolted that these sub-humans can actually believe that Jews are evil and trying to take over the world. They are insane and I'm so sorry you have to go through this hell.
