Here’s a reminder of what Jews have faced this week: - A Jewish barber in NY was stabbed in the hand with scissors and his customer shouted “I want to kill you, you f–ing Jew.” - A Jewish woman in Germany was attacked for wearing a “Bring Them Home Now!” shirt. - A Jewish man in Bulgaria was threatened with a knife by a man who shouted “Hitler!” Multiple times at him and stole his yarmulke. - A kosher restaurant in France was vandalized with red paint and “Free Gaza.” - Students at a NYC Hillel event were harassed at a Jewish deli by masked protestors shouting slogans like “Terrorists, terrorists, terrorists” at Jewish students. - A Jewish student on the NYC subway was harassed by a man screaming antisemitic insults at him. - Free Palestine protestors in London threw Nazi salutes at Jewish counter-protestors and held deeply antisemitic posters with no repercussions. - CNN’s Dana Bash had her event targetd by Free Palestine protestors who screamed in her face. - A man fired shots near the Israeli Consulate in Munich with a WWII Nazi manufactured rifle. - A woman in Paris screamed at a town hall where Jews were celebrating their civil ceremony saying "Son of a bitch! Genocidal! Everybody knows you commit genocides!" And this is only accounts for some of the incidents that have been reported. Jews should not be risking their safety by merely existing in 2024. If the world stays silent about antisemitism after all this, I fear the atrocities it would take for people to finally speak out.
