This is a post from a Jewish politician condemning rising antisemitism in the US, saying nothing about anti-Zionism or Israel. And yet the replies are entirely full of people preemptively jumping in to say, “criticizing Israel is not antisemitism! Being anti-Zionist is not antisemitic!”
Today marks the end of Jewish American Heritage Month, Illinois.
I won't be silent in the face of a continuing record rise of antisemitism in our nation.
There is strength in our faith, and we can always find strength in one another.

Some people LOVE to tell me that scientists have lost public trust because we were wrong about something, we communicated badly, we swore or cried or acted fallibly human, or whatever.
That’s bullshit. Scientists lost public trust because disinformation campaigns like this stole it & eradicated it.

This is not the first time a public health agency’s communications have been spoofed and altered w/antivaxx rhetoric. We documented this in our analysis to the US response to measles outbreaks in 2017-2019. It was very challenging for health departments to overcome.

Not wrong, but I’m not wasting money and energy. Just the opposite. NO money and NO votes for ANY Dem Senate candidates in 2026 if Schumer and Durbin are still minority leaders come September. 53-47 and 100-0 are the same thing if our leaders whip votes for the opposition. I’ll focus on the House.

FYI, it’s stories like this that explain why so many Jews don’t and can’t trust the “safety through solidarity” mantra. We know that for us, it’s not an offer of outreach to unite, it’s a threat to exclude.
For those who promote that slogan, this is on you to fix. They’re not going to listen to us.

There are a non-trivial number of "Punch a Nazi" types who, if honest, would have to punch themselves in the face, but instead do that to their own movements.
If you want to understand how the Holocaust has been weaponized to erase Jews from the story of their own murders, this story is instructive: "Cincinnati rabbi disinvited from rally against Nazis" (he was a progressive who failed a bigoted progressive purity test on Israel)

People like this don't understand Nazism, which is why they've been so utterly inept at arresting its resurgence. You can't fight what you never grasped and sometimes actively abet.

The most inconvenient fact about the Holocaust for many individuals is that it happened to Jews. That's why they've been working for decades to appropriate the Holocaust from the people who were almost wiped out by it and turn it against them. Helps explain how the Holocaust happened in first place.

Not good news, but needs to be said: Hamas claimed that Israel killed the Bibas children and their mother in an airstrike. Forensic examination of the corpses reveals the kids were murdered and that Hamas didn't even send back the mother, but a random body. Depravity piled upon lies.

That Hamas did not think "not kidnapping infants and holding them in dungeons" was in its power tells you a lot about what they think power is for.
