I guess we’re about to witness sizeable crowds of non-Iranian Americans demonstrate in favor of Khameini’s evil dictatorship…

This country’s entire education system needs to be razed to the ground & rebuilt in a way where this won’t happen again, or there won’t be a country.
It’s perfectly fine to be reflexively antiwar, that’s not what I’m decrying.

What I’m decrying is the reflexively embracing the enemies of America, Israel and the West as inherently good due to the fact that they are our enemies.

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil.
Yes, America, Israel and the West has a whole have plenty of sins and did plenty of bad things worldwide.

Anyone who believes that Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran and the Houthis are a better replacement are utterly mad, just as bad as those who think Russia or China would be.

I am glad I’ve opened twitter this morning and saw what the current discourse is:

The oppression of Sefaradim in the US by Ashkenazim.

Finally, I can vent my horrible pain and discuss my daily oppressions; a thread.
Just now, I woke up and tried to get a decent cup of coffee. Not a single place actually prepares Turkish coffee! Not a single bakery offers fejouela, you can’t find any decent baklava, and what they called burekas is an abomination.

You start your day and it’s ruined already.
We are getting closed to Shabbat, so you know, maybe I should do some shopping?

Oh, wait, unless I’m willing to pay over $50 I’ll get some boutargue and it’s going to be already dry! And forget about finding Arak, it’s all grain alcohol with anise flavor! And no bukha!

People who are not part of the Haredi community don’t understand how it’s basically impossible for an outsider to credibly pretend to be one of us.

A short thread on why it’s so easy to spot fakers
First of all, there is no united Haredi community. It really is a constellation of groups that are loosely connected.

Chabad is nothing like Satmar which is nothing like Ponovich which is nothing like the Mir which is nothing like Slobodka which is nothing like Lakewood, etc.
For people, we might externally look similar, but we immediately pick up on cultural signifiers that others have no idea matter. From the type of hats to how you wear your socks, everything about your outfit will tell people within the Haredi world which subgroup you belong to.

The epitome of "As a Jew;" or how antisemites weaponize Jewish identity to spread antisemitism.

An exemplary thread. Image
"Chana Sarah" here has quite a story. Born in an Orthodox family, spoke Yiddish growing up, went to a Chabad School, and a Holocaust museum tour guide

Not only that, but her family was so zionistic she was even a Kahanist at the same time! Image

Whenever I make a post about Jews being victims of antisemitism and it takes off, the same phenomenon happens with Jew haters:

Half are saying it’s justified & half are saying it’s not happening.

What’s fascinating is just how angry both of those groups are at the idea it is.
I never see that in any other posts that have to do with any other groups or ethnicities being hated. No virulent denial that it’s happening

Some people might be downplaying it or say the OP is making a bigger deal out of it than it deserves, but no “It’s not happening at all”
Same goes with the people acting with anger & glee saying that the group deserves it

That’s not to say that there are not random troll posts who might be individually saying it, but here I’m talking about hundreds of tweets one after the other saying variations of the same thing

Jews kicked out of theaters. Jewish hospitals picketed. Jewish businesses vandalized. Jews insulted & assaulted for being visibly Jewish.

I'm not surprised that this is happening.

I'm surprised at how quickly it was normalized and deemed unworthy of mention in the public square
In a sense, I shouldn't be.

I spent years on this platform discussing how Orthodox Jews were by far the biggest victimized group in America per capita, which was completely ignored as our schools and way of life was under attack from the likes of the New York Times & NY State.
You could have an average of 2 or 3 Orthodox Jews assaulted a week, and we'd get maybe a small mention a year throughout newspapers, and none by pols.

However, if in the lower East Side someone tagged a graffiti targeting non-Orthodox Jews it still made the news pre-October 7th.
