Blind Allegiance: The Dangers of Uncritical Jewish Support for Social Movements (Judean Rose)

Disclaimer: the views expressed here are solely those of the author, weekly Judean Rose columnist Varda Meyers Epstein.Black lives matter. Of course they do. Everyone’s lives matter. But you don’t just go and support a group with an agreeable name without some due diligence. Or do you? My progressive Jewish friends don’t seem to think any due diligence is necessary when it...

Vivek Will Talk to Known Antisemites but Not to Those Who Point It Out (Judean Rose)

So let me see if I’ve got this straight. Vivek Ramaswamy gave an interview to an antisemite and then got angry when the Washington Free Beacon reported that fact. No, wait. That’s not quite right. Ramaswamy didn’t know that Albert Faleski, aka An0maly, was an antisemite at the time of the interview, so it wasn’t nice that the Washington Free Beacon made it look like he did...

Tucker Carlson and the Jews Who Need Proof (Judean Rose)

Back in April, I asked a question: Is Tucker Carlson a Covert Antisemite? To my mind, there is no question that he is, but people understand things in different ways. Some want proof rather than this author’s interpretation of Carlson’s words and deeds. In a way, that is the point. There likely will never be proof. This is why I refer to Carlson’s brand of antisemitism as...

Hebrew, Yiddish, antisemitism and the New York Times

The New York Times has an op-ed by Ilan Stavans about the resilience of Yiddish, supposedly by an expert in the field. It includes some antisemitic tropes, oversimplifications, self-contradictions, outright falsehoods and ultimately reflects anti-Zionist politics more than it represents the state of Yiddish today.For a language without a physical address that has come frighteningly...

This 1939 description of antisemitism could have been written today

Rev. Charles Owen RiceThis article from JTA, published in September 1939, sounds like it could have been written today in regard to "anti-Zionists."DISCUSSES ANTI-JEWISH ATTITUDE Priest Assails Those Who Say They Are Not. Opposed to "Good Jews." PITTSBURGH—Those who mask their anti-Semitism with the assertion that they are not opposed to "good Jews" were assailed...

Old antisemitic lies don't die. They live forever, no matter how many times they are debunked.

Jordan's Al Ghad has an op-ed by Youssef Abdullah Mahmoud that quotes a variant of a Nazi-era libel claiming that "president" Benjamin Franklin gave a speech to the American people warning them about the dangers of Jews.There is a great danger for the United States of America. This great danger is the Jew. Gentlemen, in every land the Jews have settled, they have...

Anti-Jewish hate crimes in NYC continues to dwarf all others

Here is a chart showing the categories of hate crimes in New York City for the first half of the year.Out of 235 incidents, 108 were anti-Jewish. This is a little less than half but still much, much more than any other kind of bias.In 2022, 43% of all hate crimes in New York City were against Jews.I am sure that the NYPD takes antisemitic incidents seriously, but - this is...

A Jew was once on US currency (maybe)

I came across this story from JTA in 1930:This would be the Standing Liberty quarter.Doris Doscher had played the biblical Eve in a 1918 silent film, "Birth of a Race."After she died in 1970, there were claims that another actress named Irene MacDowell was the model for the quarter and her role was hidden because her husband disapproved. Doscher's husband, who survived her,...

San Diego Human Relations Commission member says AT THEIR MEETING that Jews are taught in synagogue to murder all Palestinians

From the San Diego Union-Tribune:The meeting was supposed to focus on recent controversial remarks on Israel by one member of San Diego County’s Human Relations Commission. Instead, they were overshadowed when another commissioner made new, inflammatory false comments about Jews.Now, local Jewish leaders are calling for dramatic changes to the commission they believe are needed...
