Multiple People Stabbed In Synagogue Saturday Night With A Machete in Monsey, NY - Why aren't black leaders condemning the many recent antisemitic attacks by blacks against Jews? Is it racist to point out that so many attackers are black? vosizneias.com/2019/12/28/mon…
The people who want to blame all of antisemitism on the far Right are complicit in these crimes. Antisemitism isn't a Right or Left issue. It is a hate issue that can infect anyone. People turning it into a partisan issue are part of the problem.
And yes, I'm referring to you, @IfNotNowOrg @jvplive @jvpliveNY @RashidaTlaib @IlhanMN @jstreetdotorg @arielelysegold - saying you are horrified is meaningless if you keep insisting it is a Right-only problem.
@IfNotNowOrg @jvplive @jvpliveNY @RashidaTlaib @IlhanMN @jstreetdotorg @ArielElyseGold Most blacks are not antisemitic; surveys show it is at around 20%. But that is unacceptable. The reasons that blacks have problems with Jews are completely different than those of neo-Nazis. But who is doing anything about it? Only the political allies of Blacks can - & aren't.
@IfNotNowOrg @jvplive @jvpliveNY @RashidaTlaib @IlhanMN @jstreetdotorg @ArielElyseGold NOI yes, but most blacks aren't NOI. I don't know the percentage of attackers that might be.
@IfNotNowOrg @jvplive @jvpliveNY @RashidaTlaib @IlhanMN @jstreetdotorg @ArielElyseGold And as someone who hosted a party in my house tonight, with my door open and dozens of people attending, damn right I am upset that I should have to think twice before doing it again.

Where is @marclamonthill ? Wwere is @TheRevAl ? If prominent black pundits remain silent about blacks attacking Jews, then anything anyone else says is worthless.

And they ARE silent about it. Ask them why.
@marclamonthill @TheRevAl Translation: It's not my problem.

Yes, Marc, it is. You can do something about it but you don't dare to admit that there is a specifically black antisemitism problem. And only black leaders can do something about it.

You are a coward.

@Michael_Zank Hi, I read your article and am very confused.

You say the EO "does not distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate criticism of Israel" while IHRA does. This omission "opens the door to civil rights proceedings" against universities for anti-Israel activities. 1/
@Michael_Zank But the EO doesn't even mention the word "Israel." Its only reference to Israel is via the IHRA definition which already has what you are asking for,

Am I missing something?
@Michael_Zank The more I look at the article the less it makes sense.

Do you think the existing Title VI language fights white supremacism, since it provides protection against racism?
From the other perspective, do you disagree that IHRA covers white supremacist antisemitism?

Every criticism of the executive order on antisemitism is based on its supposed potential to suppress free speech.

The ACTUAL TEXT says EXPLICITLY that it does not infringe on ANY rights granted by the First Amendment, including free speech.

So why are so many freaking out?
1/
Title Vi protects students (and others who receive gov't funds) from discrimination. Only when speech becomes harassment does that become an issue.

The critics of the EO are saying that Jewish and Zionist students should have NO PROTECTION from harassment at school.

Really. 2/
Everything else is smoke and mirrors. The bar for discrimination is not that low under Title VI, and it is not being raised by this.

And if schools respond by protecting Jews/Zionists from harassment and discrimination, WHY IS THAT A BAD THING?

This is a thread of prominent black leaders condemning antisemitism and recent hate crimes against Jews.
While we need more voices calling for change, it is false that there has been total silence. Will update regularly and please feel free to add. We are stronger together.
Thank you @Sifill_LDF

-Isms should be uncomfortable. Labeling something as a 'bias' or prejudice does not make it less #racist, #sexist, #homophobic, #ageist, #ableist, etc. Recognizing your own racism, sexism, homophobia - your own -ism, is the first step to fighting it
#diversity #inclusion 1/
Sugar-coating these words to make them more comfortable to work with does us no favors.

Back story:

During the Ignite pre-day I was very open about recognizing my own bias, specifically my own racism. I understand that it exists & I actively work against that conditioning. 2/
It is conditioning. And exists in most of us. I was just willing to admit to it in an open forum. It's sad that instead of asking how we can all get to a place where we are admitting to & working against our own isms, people get hung up on the admission & label me "a racist" 3/

GANDHI THE PERVERT
Gandhi was fav.Indian Leader till came across this Article.
OMG..he was pervert according to Historians.
Let Sparta share some facts about Mohandas Gandhi.
Hope no one would not be upset, afterall these facts r written by credible people.
Lets start;
Not only a Sex addict , also was a #Racist like #Modi . Looking at history , his speeches and secret life one can assume that he was a Hypocrite too.
Used Sluers like Kaffir aka Nigga for Africans of Black skin.
OMG
Amazingly under the cloak of Philanthropy Gandhi showed his actual worth by writing to English custodian of Colony that he being an Indian ( brown colored) wud prefer not be be called African (Black colored) as he was better than them in Race & alloted separate quarters .....

The murder of Lori Gilbert Kaye z”l in the #Chabad of #Poway synagogue in #SanDiego, California is but the latest in too long a list of recent antisemitic attacks on #Jews and #Jewish communities around the world.

Luciana Berger cited #Labour becoming "institutionally #AntiSemitic" as a key reason for quitting the party.

Despite all the evidence, there are those who still deny the severity of #LabourAntisemitism. Here's a thread detailing how institutionalised it truly is...
Starting at the very top with @JeremyCorbyn.

He infamously referred to #Hamas and #Hezbollah as "friends". Both organisations call for the extermination of #Israel, and regularly carry out attacks against #Jews. They're also both officially classified as #terrorist groups.
Perhaps the most well-known incident is #Corbyn's attendance at a wreath-laying ceremony in Tunisia in 2014, which honoured the terrorists who murdered 11 #Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics. Mr Corbyn claimed to be "present but not involved".

In August 2018 Jim Sheridan a Labour Councillor was reported to the Labour Party for #Antisemitic comments. Sheridan stated that he had lost respect and empathy for the Jewish community.
I am not going to defend his statement. It appears to have been used in frustration at what he perceived to be unwarranted levels of #Antisemitic allegations against the #LabourParty Jim Sheridan has since apologised and been reinstated with a warning.
But what was behind his frustration? Why would someone who stated he had supported the Jewish Community all his adult life, suddenly say he had lost empathy for them? Perhaps we should look at the broader picture?
