Is It a Crime To Be Openly Jewish?

Ever since October 7, mobs of Muslims have taken over much of central London for kill-the-Jews rallies. The effect has been to make being Jewish in London increasingly dangerous. Things came to a head last Saturday when a group of Jews leaving a synagogue bumped into the Muslims’ weekly protest. One of that group, Gideon Falter, describes what happened:

It was early afternoon, in central London, and I was with five others, some of us wearing a kippah, or skullcap.

At Aldwych, we came across the pro-Palestine protest and we started to cross the road as the front of the march got to us. Suddenly I felt hands on me. I looked around to see a police officer who was shoving me onto the pavement.

He said: “You are quite openly Jewish, this is a pro-Palestinian march. I’m not accusing you of anything but I’m worried about the reaction to your presence.” The march came towards us and after a few minutes the crowd got thicker, people stopping and shouting abuse at us: “Disgusting”, “lock them up”, “Nazis”, “scum”.

Videos of the incident went viral:

You are quite openly Jewish,

You can be openly gay, openly transgender, openly anti-white, anti Christian (they or them is also executable) - but PLEASE don't be openly Jewish!! I draw the line if you identify as that.  We might just send Pontius Pilate after you. After all, Jesus was openly Jewish.

They Were Assaulted on Campus for Being Jews

At Yale, Sahar Tartak was stabbed in the eye. At Columbia, Jonathan Lederer’s Israeli flag was burned and he was hit in the face.

For a second, imagine that black students at Columbia were taunted: Go back to Africa. Or imagine that a gay student was surrounded by homophobic protesters and hit with a stick at Yale University. Or imagine if a campus imam told Muslim students that they ought to head home for Ramadan because campus public safety could not guarantee their security.

There would be relentless fury from our media and condemnation from our politicians.

Just remember the righteous—and rightful—outrage over the white supremacist “Unite the Right” march in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017, where neo-Nazis chanted “The Jews will not replace us.” 

This weekend at Columbia and Yale, student demonstrators did all of the above—only it was directed at Jews. They told Columbia students to “go back to Poland.” A Jewish woman at Yale was assaulted with a Palestinian flag. And an Orthodox rabbi at Columbia told students to go home for their safety.

At Columbia I Am Told: ‘Go Back to Poland’

My Israeli flag was stolen and burned. I was hit. And the school is preventing the NYPD from protecting us.

I Was Stabbed in the Eye at Yale

The school has allowed anti-Israel students to run roughshod over their most basic policies. Yesterday, I paid the price for their inaction.

Not Just Columbia and Yale, Thought  That Would be Bad  Enough.

Apr 20, 2024

During the public comments segment of the University of California Regents on April 10, 2024, various faculty members complained about political indoctrination, intimidation, and antisemitism at the David Geffen School of Medicine (DGSOM). These are excerpts from that meeting.

Rising Antisemitism and Choosing Freedom - Bari Weiss

This weekend at Columbia and Yale, student demonstrators told Jewish students to “go back to Poland.” A Jewish woman at Yale was assaulted with a Palestinian flag. And an Orthodox rabbi at Columbia told students to go home for their safety. 

Demonstrators on these campuses shouted: “Say it loud and say it clear, we don’t want no Zionists here.” In one chant at Columbia, the protesters were heard saying “Go Hamas, we love you. We support your rockets, too.” and “We say justice, you say how? Burn Tel Aviv to the ground.”

These campus activists are not simply “pro-Palestine” protesters. They are people who are openly celebrating Hamas and physically intimidating identifiably Jewish students who came near. We published the accounts of two of those students—Sahar Tartak and Jonathan Lederer—today.

Students—all of us—have a right to protest. We have a right to protest for dumb causes and horrible causes. At The Free Press, we will always defend that right. (See here and here, for example.) It is not, however, a First Amendment right to physically attack another person. It is not a First Amendment right to detain another person as part of your protest. 

The institutions that are supposed to be dedicated to the pursuit of truth have not only abandoned their mission—they have stood by and done nothing meaningful to condemn students who support terrorism, or to stop the horrific scenes of the past 48 hours. :snip:

First they come for the Saturday People Then The Sunday People.

Socialism (either National or International) is a religion, and evangelical. It Must Spread, and "Thou Shalt Have No Other Gods Before Me" They take that  Very Seriously.
