"I was walking home from a #Shabbat morning service, wearing a #kippah and carrying my #tallit bag in my urbane, diverse #NewJersey town, when a pickup truck slowed down beside me. The driver rolled down his window and yelled something. I won’t repeat it here, but I can say with certainty it was not “ #ShabbatShalom.”
Why? Because of a small piece of fabric on my large, bald head.
My truck-driving antagonist was in good company. On social media, bigots will refer to #Jews as “the little hat people.”
"...During the 1968 #NewYorkCity school teachers’ strike, which aroused #antisemitism, an announcer on radio station WBAI-FM read a poem written by a school child, dedicated to #AlbertShanker, the Jewish head of the teachers’ union: “Hey, #Jew boy, with that #yarmulke on your head/You pale-faced Jew-boy, I wish you were dead.” Shanker, in fact, did not wear a yarmulke."

@dukepaaron Here in #SouthAfrica such antisemitism, to the extent that it exists, keeps its head down. Anti-Zionist Jews were so prominent in the anti-apartheid struggle, and are so prominent in the pro-Palestine & social-justice movements, that they're the public face of Judaism.
this story about Benjamin Mauerberger, a south african #crypto bro and card carrying member of the chinese #mafia who made so much money via #pigbutchering and other crypto scams that he managed to co-opt a large part of #Thailand's government (to say nothing of #Cambodia and #Myanmar) is nuts.
if you’re wondering about the dark forces driving the current war between thailand and cambodia, this is one of those forces.
