The Jewish Council of Australia has expressed “grave concerns for the activists on board the Gaza Freedom Flotilla” after it was intercepted and boarded by Israeli forces.
“We call on the Australian government to urgently intervene to secure the immediate release of the vessel and safety of the crew.”
“Israel has a history of killing activists trying to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza and cannot be trusted to ensure the safety of the Freedom Flotilla crew.”
More details continue to emerge. When hamas massacres their own people in a desperate bid to cling to power by preventing access to free & plentiful food, then blames Israel, the #media just runs with their lies and the Very Online automatically believe them.
The new #antisemitism is not that complicated. Demonize #Israel, collectively blame #Jews, then physically attack them.
Two terror attacks in America in less than 2 weeks.
Fediverse moderators might not care, but ordinary people do.

And how is your day going? Mine is going like #JEWS WERE JUST FIREBOMBED IN DOWNTOWN #BOULDER.
It was at a “Run For Their Lives” weekly walk to raise awareness of the hostages. A WALK … not protesting, just … walking while #Jewish. This could have been me, my husband, my kid, my mom. (Don’t @ me with equivocations, that earns an insta-block.)
Apologies for being shouty … but fcking hell. I need a drink.

'JERUSALEM (AP) — Chanting “Death to #Arabs” and singing “May your village burn,” groups of young Israeli Jews made their way through #Muslim neighborhoods of #Jerusalem’s Old City on Monday during an annual march marking #Israel ‘s conquest of the eastern part of the city.
#Palestinian shopkeepers closed early and police lined the alleys ahead of the march that often becomes a rowdy and sometimes violent procession of ultranationalist #Jews. A police officer raised his arms in celebration at one point, hugging a marcher. It was blazing hot, with temperatures hitting 98 degrees Fahrenheit (37 Celsius) in late afternoon.'

I’m a Jewish Atheist. Didn’t know Jewish identity can be ethnic without Judaism? There may be other things that surprise you about us.
You can read more in my piece about Jewish American Heritage Month:

I also stand with Palestine. As do many Jews. Most of us aren’t Zionists, who are religions extremists.
Let us learn about, celebrate, and love one another.
@banned_tweets_of_john_cusack @palestine #Israel really doesn't seem to care how much the world starts to hate them. You would have thought that after the #Holocaust they would be careful more than anything so their people stay safe. Can't imagine how scared that might make #jews in other countries. Coz county ≠ people ≠ faith.
Beinart concludes his commentary, which is a response to Dan Senor's recent speech re: the state of word Jewry, by saying that the US Jewish "estabishment" is in "profound moral" because the American Jewish establishment ... basically takes no responsibility for the moral crisis that exists either vis-a-vis Palestinians or within the United States itself."

"We are in a moment in which Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International have both in different ways said that they think Israel is committing genocide. I think a growing larger and larger consensus of people who study genocide, including people like Omer Bartab, the renowned Holocaust historian, have said this is genocide."

"It's an extraordinary moral abdication ... to think about the state of Jews in the world today and not to think about how we are impacted and what our moral responsibilities are in the face of the gravest threat to American liberal democracy, perhaps since the Civil War."

"Christians are the true voice of Jews. In each case, marginalized people are seen as unable to speak for themselves; their voices are only valuable if they cosign or echo those who are not marginalized. Jews, sexual assault survivors, trans people, are not entitled to speak for themselves; they must fall silent before their betters. This is, in fact, a major part of what being marginalized means."
Noah Berlatsky calls mainstream media (and other powerful institutions out) on how they deal with the actual voices of the marginalized as the report on the issues of the marginalized:
"[For mainstream media,] cis people are better able to speak for trans people than trans people themselves; people who have not experienced sexual assault are better able to understand sexual assault than survivors;"

The narrative that the democratic liberal West didn't know what the Nazis were doing to the #Jews is as big a lie as the West today claiming that what Israel is doing to the #Palestinians isn't #genocide.
"The mass persecution /extermination of Jews in #Germany was only too well known to the thinking world. Indeed, it began at the very outset of the reign of Nazism in January 1933. One need only read the diary of the late American ambassador Dodd in Germany during that period to realize how well informed the "democratic" American government was of the abominable acts perpetrated by the inhuman Nazi regime. The British ambassador undoubtedly kept his government equally informed about this phase.
However, as the record shows, neither the #UnitedStates nor the #British governments made any effort to denounce the criminal acts of the Nazi regime.
On the contrary, diplomatic and commercial relations remained intact.
And not only that.
Nazi Germany was encouraged and assisted in rearming for war.
As Nazi Germany became an increasingly formidable competitor by invading world markets, it was then, and not before, that Britain declared war on Germany."

The "Tim" whom Ingrassia referenced is Timothy Hale-Cusanelli, who was convicted of multiple nonviolent offenses for storming the Capitol on #Jan6 & was later pardoned by #Trump.
Federal prosecutors described Hale-Cusanelli as a "#Nazi sympathizer" who once went to work at a naval weapons station with a "#Hitler mustache." He also recorded a lengthy #antisemitic video rant in which he compared Orthodox #Jews to a "plague of locusts."
"have offered American Jews a kind of devil’s bargain: throw in with us against the antisemitic universities and campus rabble-rousers, but pay no attention as we dismantle the traditions and institutions that Jews value and that have provided the foundation for all they have been able to accomplish as Americans. Who’s in?"

"The net result is that we are in the early stages of a Jewish civil war unmatched since the early battles over Zionism of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In essence, Trump and the forces arrayed behind him—the legacy organizations, a new and well-financed right-wing Jewish media, and the Christian evangelical world that blindly supports Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu—"

Eric Alterman sees civil war (of a sort) looming among American Jews due to the Trump administration's overt, grotesque attempts to manipulate the Jewish community and Jewish issues to serve its political ends.
Alterman notes that two-thirds of Israelis said they preferred Trump over Harris in the last election, while the exact opposite was true among US Jews.
