Stop Antisemitism

Last month the ADL released the results of its latest survey onantisemitic attitudes in America.

Recent surveys added some additional questions to determine what other mindsets correlate with Jew-hatred.

The survey, as it always does, asks people whether they agree with antisemitic tropes like "Jews have too much power in the United States today" or "Jews in business are so shrewd that others don't have a fair shot at competing." The more of the tropes they agree with indicates more antisemitic attitudes.

Until 2014, the trend was that younger people were less bigoted towards Jews. That trend has been reversed: right now, millenials are the most likely to harbor antisemitic attitudes, followed by Gen-Z.

As a result, antisemitic attitudes in America are now the highest that they have been since 1964.


The other correlations with antisemitic attitudes are more interesting. People who believe in conspiracy theories are more likely to be antisemitic, as do people who believe that “an ideal society requires some groups to be on top and others to be on the bottom.” One would expect such attitudes from right-wing antisemites.

But a mainstay belief of the progressive Left is also correlated with antisemitism.

The more people agree with the statement “When we think about the problems of the world, it comes down to the oppressor vs the oppressed.” were also far more likely to be antisemitic.

Eighty Jewish CUPE members have filed applications with the tribunal, claiming they have been made to feel “isolated, unwelcome, scared, silenced, discriminated against, threatened and harassed.” The lead complainant is Carrie Silverberg, an education assistant in a public school board and a CUPE member of 17 years standing, who is seeking $500,000 in damages.



Her application names CUPE Ontario, its president Fred Hahn, and Local 3906, which represents 3,500 workers at McMaster University in Hamilton.



The application points to a tweet on Oct. 7 by CUPE 3906 as the terrorist attack was taking place that read: “Palestine is rising, long live the resistance” and another on Oct. 8 by Hahn that praised “the power of resistance.”



Hahn apologized two weeks later but the application said it “lacked sincerity” and was just the latest in a long pattern of discrimination against Jewish union members.



The application states that Hahn has advised Jewish members that the Jewish people “stole” the land of Israel from Palestinians, and that he encourages and condones antisemitism.

“If one stops a shop, say, in a university or in a local authority from stocking Jaffa oranges, then that means that people who wish to buy them can’t do so.

“And it’s particularly invidious when a religion – and there are several religions – have specific dietary rules and laws.

“So in the case of Judaism, kosher food, to specifically isolate the ability of individuals who choose to follow the religion’s norms and rules in terms of diet to ban the right of them to do so – it’s much more invidious because what it’s doing is impacting one’s way of life and therefore the principle is far greater…

“And what we’re seeing with this so-called BDS campaign, what we’re seeing increasingly is Jewish kosher foods, which may be Israeli or may not be, being specially targeted, whether it’s in supermarkets, whether it’s in Jewish-owned stores, being specifically targeted by racists and inhibiting the rights of those who choose to be kosher-adherent to be so.”

Bayard Rustin also spoke to the dangers of the international community ignoring the terrorism and violence Yasser Arafat was inflicting on the Israelis. Like Dr. King’s almost prophetic call to stand with Israel in 1968, Rustin (in 1975) correctly predicted what would happen if the world turned a blind eye to the slaughtering of Israeli civilians. “By embracing the PLO, the United Nations has given a solemn amen to organized brutality, encouraging along the way no one knows how many other extremist organizations with a grudge against society.”

Rustin foresaw what we know today as global terrorism—Palestinian-style violence against Israel exported internationally. This is being done by an untold number of “extremist organizations with a grudge against society.” What the Palestinians exacted against Israeli men, women, and children in the name of justice—car-ramming, shooting, stabbing, suicide bombing, plane hijacking—is no longer merely an Israeli problem. As the world allowed terrorism to happen to Israel, it is now happening to the world.- From Chapter 5 of Zionism & the Black Church by

[Being anti Jews comes from ignorance, sometimes never having met any Jews, and all the lies told about Jews in the country they live in ]
