In order for Republican Jews, like Chaya Raichik the creator of hate account LibsOfTikTok, to continue their work they must everyday embrace the open, proud and deep seated antisemitism of their Trumpian friends.
A sample of replies from Chaya Raichik’s followers as she uses Libs of TikTok to promote antisemitic, transphobic, racist conspiracy theories 🧵
One response to LibsOfTikTok calls for the murder of anyone supporting trans rights in a thread blaming Jews. Chaya Raichik has the ability to hide this threat, speak against it or report it and has done nothing but continue 🧵
LibsOfTikTok followers foaming at the mouth to link Jews to a conspiracy theory about promoting child grooming and trans gender affirmation. 🧵
Chaya Raichik who is Orthodox Jewish, has been targeting trans people and left Jews to build a community that finds her useful, for now. This is still from the same one post of hers 🧵
Mazel tov on your accomplishment Chaya Raichik.

Since Maccabi Tel Aviv is trending, come and get to know its soccer/football fans who ignited anti-Arab hate and violence in Amsterdam, leading to reprisals from Arabs who were attacked (and who are universally being smeared as antisemites engaging in pogroms).
🧵
Here is a report from an Israeli agency, who sent observers to every match to find 190 incidents of racist chants, calling 2022-2023 "the most racist and violent" soccer season in Israel's history. Including routinely chanting "monkey" at Black players.
This predominant fan culture in Israeli soccer isn't only home calling foreign team bigoted things, but also veers into going after each other. The study found 20 matches where fans would call for "Shoah" of the opposing Israeli team.
As we go into new campus actions for Gaza across the world, you're going to see a lot of our legacy Jewish orgs using polls to tell you how antisemitic our universities are.
The problem with these polls?
🧵
Nearly all of these polls assume that when a student is asked about antisemitism, they have a good analysis of what it means.
One way to examine the polls that are coming, is to look up their methodology, which is rarely reported in articles that mention the polls.

So @BrandeisU's new poll will be used in media, talks & emails to politicians, agencies, parents etc saying students are swimming in antisemitism.
Who/how they "fixed" the poll won't be reported.
Here's fine print admitting they only polled kids who went on trips to Israel.
We’ve been told as Jews that the slightest micro aggressions by individuals births antisemitism so dangerous we must have zero tolerance.
Today we’re told that open genocide, apartheid & ethnic cleansing in co-opting our name, faith, history & even synagogues doesn’t fuel antisemitism & we should tolerate it for our survival. 🧵
If some among us can’t navigate through hasbara engineered to rob us of our humanity for Palestinians and Arabs, and instead favor an often outsized moral panic over our daily safety, one would think maybe at least you can attempt to see our own self interest in ending this. This which will fuel antisemitism for decades to come, putting our lives in danger.

A common reply to this idea has been a smear. That this frames Jews for our own antisemitism. Yet, if you stay beyond the sound bites you’ll learn that many of us who look deeply into antisemitism history know that it’s invented by right wing Europeans and utilized by white supremacy as a middle man, a steam valve, to offer the poor a target.
From a booklet distributed by @DemMaj4Israel at the DNC today, touting 22 years of Kamala Harris' support for Israel, including this bit of her backing the criminal prosecution of Muslim students who interrupted an Israeli government speaker at their school.
@DemMaj4Israel The students prosecuted are referred to as the Irvine 11, who were moved by Israel's 2008-2009 massacres inside Gaza which killed 1500 Palestinians and left 100,000 homeless.
@DemMaj4Israel Here's the amicus brief from lawyers at @theCCR and @jvplive on discriminatory enforcement on the Muslim students, such that had not been seen for other protestors first amendment rights and those who had interrupted even longer.
