Antisemitism is one of the oldest forms of hate in this world. Whether it’s for attention or it lives deep within him, his actions and words have real consequences that affect Jewish people everywhere. It threatens our existence. It needs to be stopped.
I have visited twice Auschwitz camp and several holocaust museums before Oct.7th. Each time what goes through your mind is- how could this have happened? How did the world allow this? Mind blowing . And now we see and live this reality !!!! How can this be happening!!!! Between the silence of the people and the sick antisemitic celebrities. As a none Jewish - I now see how throughout history to present the Jewish people have to live and defend themselves. The great importance of having the State of Israel. This is not about sides or political parties - it’s about right from wrong.
This is a no brainer. Antisemitism is at an all time high and we can’t sit in silence anymore. The more we allow the more we just get used to it. Let’s not forget our history and let’s not let it repeat!
During my freshman year of high school, I faced cruel antisemitism, including having food thrown at me and being subjected to hateful gestures. This made me distance myself from Judaism for a while. But I realized the problem wasn't my faith—it was the prejudice. I stood back up and continued to fight, embracing my identity with even more strength and resilience.
I don’t know what else needs to happen. I experienced something well over 37 years ago in middle school plus having comments made to my face. Nothing is new. We can scream it from the rooftops and still silenced! No more
As somebody who struggles with mental health issues, the concept of a police officer refusing to try to understand when somebody is going through something is utterly terrifying, especially when taking into account how stigmatized certain disorders are.
I have an Autistic daughter. She will run off and even if you tell her to stop she will not stop. If you grab at her she will recoil or possibly even push you away with one arm and say no.
Her only chance if she encounters a police officer is either that she is still very young, the officer doesn’t attack because she is a girl, or the officer is properly trained and never jumps straight to action.
I can’t even put myself in my friends shoes. Both his son and daughter are autistic and like my daughter it’s bad. They are both non compliant. So he has a boy that is dark skinned and at some point that boy is going to be tall and teenage. I’m worried about cops attacking my daughter especially after seeing that cop who body slammed that 100LB teen into concrete with no provocation. It’s worse for men and it’s worse for dark skinned people.
My son has autism and was taken advantage of and used by druggies. Yet he's paying the excessive price. They wanted to send him to state mental hospital, very bad place to restore him to prosecute. I threw a fit telling them he's not insane, he's autistic! The court sentenced him with 2 felonies. For someone with the mental capacity of approximately 16 socially and elementary in comprehension, reading and writing. I felt it was excessive for someone with autism. I truly believe autistic people are really smarter and highly intelligent and lifted. However, it's trapped inside them, making communication very difficult for them. The judge should have shown some compassion but didn't. He's still on probation and none of the probation officers know anything about special needs or autism. It was shameful and disgusting to witness as his mother. I will never give up on him. He's finally getting help in developmental disability program but Medicaid makes the process extremely difficult to get him the help with living skills he desperately needs. This young man is going far if we can just keep these druggies and freeloaders from taking advantage of and manipulating him. He was almost off welfare when he met this bad person who got him into soo much trouble. It breaks my heart he's doesn't understand when someone is using him or manipulating and taking advantage of him.
