Every year, I share the memory book of the lost shtetl of Zaromb, near Treblinka. It is a haunting catalogue of horrors, compiled in 1946. One of the recurring themes of the accounts: Zarombers faced as much danger from Poles as they did from Germans.

“As we saw later, the Poles took an active part in the massacre of the Jews of Zaromb. Several days before, a number of Polish cart drivers had been given orders to be ready to transport the "Zshides" (derogatory term for Jews) of Zaromb. They kept that order secret.”

I'm not sure I really get the logic behind the antizionists who also want to kick fellow Jewish citizens out of their diaspora countries.

Like... where are they supposed to go specifically?

I'm joking. I totally get the fucking logic.

"A violent #antisemitic incident unfolded Sunday evening in #Istanbul, where a group of #Jews heading to light the eighth and final #Hanukkah candle at the Neve Shalom #synagogue were attacked by #proPalestinian #protesters.

According to footage circulated on social media, the attackers charged at the group while shouting, “These #Zionists should leave this country.” Police intervened and dispersed the demonstrators, who waved #Palestinian flags and attempted to approach the #Jewish group."

"Benzion Shemtov, #rabbi at #Chabad #Jewish Center at #Michigan State #University was out of the state when someone spray-painted #Nazi symbols on the doors and threw rocks at the windows of the center in the days following the #massacre at #BondiBeach in #Australia, where 15 people were #killed during a #Hanukkah celebration.

But when Shemtov returned to #EastLansing, he said he was greeted by numerous letters from the #MichiganState University community that the center serves.

“I got home and I got letters in the mail from people that are not even Jewish, just writing letters of support. It’s break right now. There’s no one in town…. just to see from #students that graduated and maybe came to us, students [that weren’t] necessarily so close with [us] perhaps because maybe they didn’t attend that much, but they were writing, this is their home, this was their home on campus,” Shemtov said. “This will always be their home.”

Shit is getting weird out there... oh wait, I mean same as it ever was.

"Two young #Jewish #children at #Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport were harassed by a man who called them ‘pig,’ ordered them to dance, and threatened to snatch their #kippas if they did not ‘#freePalestine,’ according to footage circulating on social media this week.

The man who accosted the children filmed the video himself and addressed them in both #French and #English.

“Are you gonna free #Palestine, bro?’ the man asked, adding, “If you don’t free them, I’ll snatch your hat, bro.”

"#Jews comprise 0.2% of the world’s population.

Take a group of 500 random people, and on average, 499 won’t be #Jewish.

So you may be wondering what it’s like to be part of that 0.2%.

Here’s a little snapshot:

In May, Jews gathered at a museum reception in #WashingtonDC. A #gunman started #shooting. Two attendees were #killed.

In June, Jews gathered at a park in #Boulder, #Colorado. An assailant threw #Molotovcocktails into the crowd. A woman was killed.

In October, Jews gathered at a #synagogue in #Manchester, #England. A man drove his car into pedestrians and #stabbed them. Two people were killed.

In December, Jews gathered on a beach in #Sydney, #Australia. #Terrorists opened fire. Fifteen people were killed.

That’s just in 2025.

Bottom line: being Jewish is dangerous."

I really regret contributing to this situation. I didn’t anticipate how completely it would dominate the narrative.

"On the first night of #Hanukkah, #Jewish families gathered in #Sydney to celebrate. Instead of #candlelightings and #latkes, they were met with #gunfire from two armed #terrorists. At least a dozen Jewish #Australians, including a #Holocaust survivor, were murdered, and the first candle of Hanukkah was lit in grief.

Almost immediately, however, the focus of the public conversation began to drift.

Rather than centering the #victims or grappling with what it means for #Jews to be targeted at a Jewish #celebration, much of the discourse has fixated on a different element of the attack, one that, while important, should not be the story itself."

"The director of a new organization founded to advance the priorities of #US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. #Kennedy Jr. has extensively promoted the “#Protocols of the Elders of Zion,” a famous #antisemitic forgery.

Leland Lehrman, who last month was named executive director of the #MAHAInstitute, also believes #Israel may have been behind the 9/11 terror attacks, and has inveighed against “high-level #Jewish Illuminists, or Lucifer worshipers.”

A lot of Jewish people hid their religion & their ethnicity after coming to the U.S. #AntiSemitism was not only in Germany, it was all over.

When you watch a #Superman movie or read the comics, you see a character created by two Jewish boys about a man from another world, with a secret identity, who puts on glasses and a suit to blend into the world around him.

That's who Superman is. He's the first-generation immigrant who was once called Kal-El, and is now Clark Kent.

But here's the important part:
NO ONE KNOWS his true identity.

He is a metaphor for so many first-generation Jewish people in the late 1800s/early 1900s, who hid their #Jewish #ancestry and changed their names to blend in.

Do you have Jewish ancestors? Look at your tree. Find the "Russian,” "Polish," “Ukrainian,” and "Czech" immigrants. Your Jewish ancestor probably comes from there. Research terms like "Shtetle" and "Pogroms."

Leonard Nimoy at a #NOW rally in 1989. His sweater reads "PRO-CHILD, PRO-FAMILY, #PROCHOICE". His sash reads "HONORED GUEST". His pin reads "HONORARY SISTER".

#LeonardNimoy was #Jewish and spoke fluent Yiddish. His parents were first-generation #Ukrainian Jewish #immigrants who fled the Soviet Union and he was born in 1931 in Boston. Jewish activists have always been at the core of support for #abortion rights.
