just wanted to offer a little insight as to what it feels like to be a Jew right now in America in the west we're seeing all of these protests celebrating the slaughter of Jews we're seeing all of these incidences of anti-Semitism blatant anti-Semitism and it kind of just feels like even the people who are quote on our side there's almost this feeling of yeah listen it's not cool what those people are doing yeah no listen it's not right no no it's not right it's not a sort of soft disapproval like a yeah oh yeah no that's not nice it's not nice they shouldn't do that no they definitely shouldn't do that for some reason anti-Semitism doesn't seem to summon up the collective anger and outrage and intolerance of good people around the world to condemn it the same way they condemn anti-black racism or discrimination against Asians or other groups there's a professor of Colombia in the days after October 7th who wrote an AR article published it celebrating the event as a glorious energizing event of resistance he's a tenured professor he's still there can you imagine if a white supremacist Professor published an article after a massacre of African-Americans praising those actions tenured or not he'd be gone in a second there wouldn't be a need to call attention to an article like that get people to take notice we all would know immediately that that is unequivocally wrong and he would be gone but in the case of Jew it's not nice no we don't agree with the article it almost feels like us Jews are on the schoolyard and there's a bully and the bully has been brutalizing us and when we bring it to the attention of the teachers we're getting that answer that some parents used to say you just try to avoid the bully okay don't fight the bully don't fight back list and just try to avoid him in school we don't agree with the bully we'll tell him it's not nice just try to stay away okay it would make it easier for us kind of just feels like there's this double standard racism wrong intolerable unacceptable of course anti-Semitism we don't agree with it we don't agree with it it's not cool but you know let's just yeah let's just look the look the other way
