What could be more destructive of Judaism than this twisted claim that efforts to stop #genocide by starvation, bombings, and bulldozers are "antisemitic." As Jews we can survive terrible attacks on us - from the Holocaust to Oct 7; but a genocide carried out by Israel is driving a wedge into the hearts of Jewish communities that will take far longer to heal. It shatters us.
The ADL, Trump, Netanyahu can name-call and troll, but Israel's horrific actions are driving this wedge—not activists demanding that it end. The Jewish community can only begin to heal when the horror is halted, the perpetrators are tried like Nuremberg, and a very long reckoning begins.
But Judaica will not heal for generations; we will remember this dark moment like we remember Kristallnacht and the Exodus.
Whatever they say, whoever you are, keep fighting. Judaism is on the side of life and of freedom. Every activist demanding peace is on the side of the Jews, and Jews are here alongside you, as you fight for the lives of Palestinians now terrorized and starving.
Antisemitism my ass.
