" #Antisemitic voices are “no longer on the fringes” of #American culture that #students are exposed to, said panelist Daniel Joslyn-Siemiatkoski at a session discussing a new #book, #Judeophobia and the New Testament: Texts and Contexts (Eerdmans, out now), in which 35 #authors devote chapters to each of the 27 #books of the New Testament plus four extra-canonical texts.

“It’s designed for #teaching, to unpack some of the assumptions about #antisemitism and the locations of students in these issues,” says Joslyn-Siemiatkoski, director of the Center for Christian- #Jewish Learning at Boston College. His own book, Resisting Anti- #Judaism: Practices of Christian Solidarity will be released by Fortress in October 2026.

“These issues are not hypothetical, says Eric Vanden Eykel, associate professor of #religion at Ferrum College and one of three editors of Judeophobia and the New Testament."

First and foremost, congratulations @haubles. If your job is to make the @Mastodon community healthier, it's going to be a hard one. Wish you all the best, and a way to get rid of #genocideDenial without being smeared as #antisemitic.

However, if we can support your mission with graphics, pls let me know.

Congrats, America. You have a billionaire-funded AI that will spout #antisemitic tropes, praise Adolf Shitler, and regurgitate #ElonMusk's reactionary views on race, gender, and #eugenics. High-tech #neonazism is reshaping social norms in horrifying ways.

#Berlin ’s #immigration authorities are moving to deport four young foreign residents on allegations related to participation in protests against Israel’s war on #Gaza, an unprecedented move that raises serious concerns over civil liberties in #Germany.

The deportation orders, issued under German migration law, were made amid political pressure and over internal objections from the head of the state of Berlin’s immigration agency. The internal strife arose because three of those targeted for deportation are citizens of European Union member states who normally enjoy freedom of movement between #EU countries.
“You can see it in the U.S. and Germany, too: Political dissent is silenced by targeting the migration status of protesters.”
Some of the allegations are minor. Two, for example, are accused of calling a police officer “fascist” — insulting an officer, which is a crime. Three are accused of demonstrating with groups chanting slogans like “From the river to the sea, Palestine Will be Free” — which was outlawed last year in Germany — and “#freePalestine.” Authorities also claim all four shouted #antisemitic or anti-Israel slogans, though none are specified.
