Do you want to know how I can so easily tell when someone's use of the hashtag #Jew or #Jewish is antisemitic when reference to the Israel/Palestine conflict? When they use Jew or Jewish but then use #Palestinian and not #Muslim or #Arab.
If the hashtag were merely descriptive of those involved, they'd surely use both right?

Snippet from Culture Cancer - tromsite.com/2026/07/culture-c…
Another example of stage 2-3 Culture Cancer is that of the occupation of West Bank by Israel. They have literally caged in a group of people, like you would do with livestock for consumption.
On top of that some people from the Israeli tribe are forcefully taking the land from the West Bank residents, beating, mocking them, even murdering them.
An example:One of the Israeli settlers “hoarding” a Palestinian woman, mocking her as if she is a cattle. And filming all at the same time. Did I mention that he is holding a riffle?
In the video you can see him making the same noises that the Palestinians make to hoard their animals. The Israeli leaders tolerate and even encourage this behavior.I recommend these two documentaries to see the insane cancerous situation between Israel and the West Bank:
No Other Land - videoneat.com/documentaries/26…
Louis Theroux: The Settlers - videoneat.com/documentaries/26…These are examples of a stage 2-3 Culture Cancer. It has spread significantly and it is hard to tackle. Thus it has a great influence over a population of people who can turn violent against each other.

"#DavidHirshberg never had a brother. His three sons do, and #Hirshberg says all three are among each other’s best friends. For his latest #novel, “#CrossingtheBronx” (Fig Tree #Books), Hirshberg went in the opposite direction: two brothers find themselves on opposing sides of a fight over the construction of the #CrossBronxExpressway.
“Crossing the Bronx” is Hirshberg’s third novel and the final #book in his Mid-Century #Trilogy, following “#MyMother’sSon” (2018) and “#JacobosRainbow” (2021).
The novel is set in 1952 and centers on Jay deVenezia, a 23-year-old, six-foot-five-inch #Italian #Jew from the #Bronx, and his older brother, Eric “Bud” deVenezia. Eric is muscular, intimidating and at ease among the neighborhood toughs who surround their father, Ike. Jay works at a record store and is drawn more to books, music and #Hebrew study."

[Puts on broken record] you can't just replace Jew with another word and think this shit is now ok.
"A #Brooklyn #DemocraticParty official is facing renewed accusations of #antisemitism and calls to resign after blaming “#Zionists” for a bitter dispute over her family’s #BedfordStuyvesant brownstone and comparing the case to #Israeli policies in #Judea and #Samaria.
#CarmellaCharrington, a #Democratic district leader representing part of central Brooklyn, made the remarks during a recent interview with #Egyptian #podcaster #RahaZein while discussing the long-running legal fight surrounding her family home.
“They’re Zionists that basically did this,” #Charrington said. “Same thing that they’re doing in the #WestBank, it’s the same thing. There’s a connection.”
The remarks brought renewed scrutiny to Charrington less than two months after she faced criticism for promoting a video centered on #HenryFord’s notoriously #antisemitic publication The International #Jew."

According to man's understanding, what you say could introduce doubt about the Christ, who gave us the new testament, which is his blood, a sacrifice he made available also to you.
Before #Judaism, there was Abraham. He was never called a #Jew, but he was a friend of #God. And #Jesus said, "Before Abraham was, I am."
Nothing predates God, who is the Eternal Truth. This planet was created by Jesus, who is the Word of God made flesh, who existed before the world was.

"The #Seattle Police Department will work with local #Jewish communities to ensure their safety during the #HighHolidays amid surging anti-Jewish violence nationwide, #KatieWilson, #mayor of Seattle, told JNS.
“Seattle has no place for #antisemitism or hatred of any kind,” the mayor, who identifies as #socialist, told JNS.“I know Seattle’s Jewish community is acutely aware of a rise in antisemitism and is feeling anxiety and concern,” Wilson said. “I believe every Seattle resident needs to be able to participate fully in civic life without fear, and my office welcomes dialogue with the Jewish community for sharing what they need to improve safety.”
Wilson’s comment to JNS appears to be the first time she has addressed #Jew-hatred in the city publicly since she became mayor in January.
#RoshHashanah begins this year on Sept. 11 at night and lasts two days. #YomKippur, which lasts a day, begins on Sept. 20."

"When I tell people I’m a nonobservant #Orthodox #Jew, there is usually a small pause, followed by a look that says: Pick one. I understand it. The phrase sounds like a hedge, or like someone claiming a title he hasn’t earned. But I don’t think it’s a contradiction.
It helps to start with where this came from, because it didn’t come from childhood. Until a few years ago, I wasn’t curious about any of it. I was #secular and, on some subjects, actively hostile to religion. What changed was #Oct7, 2023, and then a semester when I was honored to be associated with #Yeshiva University. I came away wanting to know more than I did, and I’ve been picking at that ever since.
I should be clear about the scale of it: I am not a learned man in the #Jewish sense of that word. If you quoted a passage at me, there’s a good chance I wouldn’t recognize it. What I do is modest and improvised."

There's actually a very active frum fitness scene.
"It may be one of the most overlooked #religious obligations of our time.
Not #prayer. Not #charity. Not even #Torahstudy. But #exercise.
That may sound odd, because #Judaism is not a culture of physical vanity. We do not worship the body, glorify muscle, or measure human worth by outward appearance. The #Torah’s ideal is not the #athlete in the stadium, but the #Jew who lives with #faith, discipline, humility, and a sense of higher purpose.
And yet, somewhere along the way, many of us seem to have confused rejecting vanity with neglecting #health.
When it comes to sleep, diet, movement, and basic physical care, too many people treat the body as if it were religiously irrelevant."
#Jewish tradition says otherwise."

@underzen
What you have experienced is true of all religions: we cannot judge what's in a man's heart simply because of a label. Related lessons I learned:Just because they say they are #Buddhist or #Jew or #Christian or #Muslim, or of any other religion, does not mean that they:
1. Tell the truth. Some lie about their religion for selfish advantage.
2. Live according to their rules. Many disregard the teachings of their religion, only wanting to belong to a group.

"#Galut is thus often understood as the experienced reality of being in exile, albeit structured, however, by the internalization of the textual notion of the #Diaspora and tempered by the daily experience (good or bad) of life in the world. The #Jew experiences the daily life of exile through the mirror of the #biblical model of expulsion, whether it be the expulsion from the #GardenofEden or freedom from slavery in #Egypt. Galut has formed the #Jewish self-understanding of exile, at least for religious #Jews. Yet for some thinkers today the involuntary dispersion of the Jews (galut or #golah) is articulated as being inherently different from the voluntary exile of the Jews (diaspora or #tfutsot). These two models exist simultaneously in #Jewishhistory in the image of uprooted and powerless Jews on the one hand and rooted and empowered Jews on the other."

"In May 1818, #MordecaiManuelNoah, a prominent #Jew of his time and a member of the #Madison administration, delivered a discourse on #Jewish #history on the occasion of a #synagogue consecration. One man read #Noah’s words with interest, and took pen to paper to say so.
“Your sect by its sufferings has furnished a remarkable proof of the universal spirit of #religious #intolerance,” the correspondent noted, in elegant cursive. “Our laws have applied the only antidote to this vice, protecting our religious, as they do our civil, rights by putting them all on equal footing. But more remains to be done, for although we are free by the law, we are not so in practice.”
The letter’s author was #ThomasJefferson. 200 years later, there’s still work to do.
The Jefferson letter is one of 75 objects on view at All We Have Standing Between Us: 250 Years of Jews and #American #Democracy, the American Jewish #Historical Society’s new exhibit at the Center for #JewishHistory."

#Israeli #Nazis continue their ethnic cleansing in Gaza. The world just watches. This mess of the Middle East was created by #Europeans. They didn't just murder #Jesus, a Palestinian #Jew. They have actually been supporting #European #Jews to continue to murder Palestinians and to destroy the peace in the #MiddleEast.

Interesting Jewish experience on a city tour in Germany. These questions around memory are pretty important and thought-provoking.
"A year before, I’d gone on two more of these types of #Jewish memorial trips. In Poland, we’d visited #Auschwitz, #Treblinka, and the #WarsawGhetto. In #Prague, we saw the Old #Jewish Quarter, #Theresienstadt, and #Europe’s oldest #synagogue. Here, too, we naturally experienced these cities and tourist sights through the eyes of #Jews. Each monument was viewed and explained, each museum was visited or at least noticed, each chance for lamentation was taken.
But on this city tour through #Dortmund, I noticed something rather peculiar: no Jews. With one exception: me. Oh well, I thought, today, my generation is so trained to be tolerant that it would practically be an advantage to be the only #Jew in a large group."
