"There is now a #Jewish debate about fighting #antisemitism. And we need to consider what exactly we are arguing about when we argue about it.
[Brett] #Stephens’s thesis might seem provocative now, but it wouldn’t shock medieval #Jews. #AvrahamGrossman points out that #Rashi often depicts the nations of the world as “lying in wait to attack and devour the #Jewish people.” #Grossman writes that this is not surprising, considering that the renowned medieval commentator’s community was massacred during the #FirstCrusade, and endured multiple #antiJewish edicts.
In his commentary on the #Torah, Rashi quotes the phrase from the #Midrash saying that “it is a rule that #Esau hates #Jacob.” This means that antisemitism is a metaphysical reality; the spiritual heirs of Esau will always hate the descendants of Jacob. Antisemitism will never end.
Rashi’s attitude to antisemitism remains influential today."

“The Hamas attack resembled a medieval Mongol raid for slaughter & human trophies—except it was recorded in real time & published to social media. Yet since #Oct7, Western academics, students, artists, & activists have denied, excused, or even celebrated the murders by a #terrorist sect that proclaims an #antiJewish genocidal program.

It was billed as the March of the Red Shirts.
On a motorway overpass, on the edge of Orlando, there was a gathering of around 50 #NeoNazis.
They were members of two #antisemitic, #WhiteNationalist groups - #BloodTribe & the #GoyimDefenseLeague.
Those present, all #male, were dressed in red & black & most had their faces covered.
They gave the #Nazi salute, chanted #antiJewish #slurs & waved #swastika flags at passing motorists.

#Trump using #antisemitic #rhetoric to get #politicaldonations after #indictment. “They're loaded with #antisemitic #language, some of which has been used in the past to #validate #violence against #Jews,” said Kurt Braddock, a public communication professor at American University. “There's no other way to describe it — he's using #antijewish #stereotypes and #historical #hatred to raise money.” https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2023/04/01/trump-campaign-donations-indictment/11573596002/

Not that you asked, but...
...I'm not really okay with referring to PEOPLE as "Semitic." It's an obsolete term. "Semitic" is kind of (sort of) acceptable as a term that describes a group of LANGUAGES.
I realize that the folks who are speaking out against "anti-semitism" have pure intentions, but it's probably more accurate to talk in terms of "anti-Jewish" bigotry.
