Not a week goes by when someone is making an anti-Semitic remark, and shame on us for not saying a thing about it. If each one of us can stand up against prejudices in the form of Anti-Semitism, we will individually contribute towards a better society that we really want to live in. It is subtle. Should others do that to you?
I am sharing a few personal examples to prompt you to share yours.

1. In Dallas City Council around 2005, someone made a comment looking at a Jewish council person "You People" - and thank God I wrote my outrage about it and published in Dallas Morning News.
2. I have written quite extensively about an incident where a Muslim made such a remark and I was on his tail all over, until he renounced and proved that he will not do that. http://www.foundationforpluralism.com/Articles/Jewish-Muslim-dialogue-a-necessity.asp
3. There are numerous examples I will be listing here that I have dared to speak out against, in the process I have lost many a “friends” but really, they were not friends. It is a choice we make to lose friends or do the right thing. At the end of the day, you have to decide to pile up guilt’s and weaken your soul or…
Please share real examples and link.
Please remember time is of the essence and want succinct, clear information that we can share in a conference or workshops.

ReplyDeleteMuch has been made in recent years of the distinction between "anti-Zionism" and anti-Semitism, legitimate criticism of the Israeli government and efforts to de-legitimize the state of Israel as an entity.
These battles are raging all this week on college campuses across the United States as "Israel Apartheid" Week takes place at universities from New York to California. Many of the organizers claim they are simply calling attention to what they claim are discriminatory policies by the Israeli government and that this is a human rights issue - unmotivated by any hatred of Jews.
They claim they have no problem with Jews, only the state of Israel as an entity.
But lost in the recent hysteria about the NYPD's alleged religious profiling of Muslims in the New York/New Jersey area and renewed focus on "Islamophobia," was a survey by the American-Israeli Cooperative Enterprise, that revealed a SHOCKING statistic.
78% of Jewish undergrads have either directly experienced or witnessed anti-Semitism.
This is on top of the annual FBI hate-crime statistic report which again identified Jews as being the most targeted religious group in America - nearly 600% more hate crimes were committed against Jews than Muslims. More hate crimes were committed against Jews than Hispanics, gays and Asians.
But statistics are not the same as real stories. So the people at JerusalemOnlineU.com and StepUpForIsrael.com reached out to students who participated in the AICE survey as well as students who were active in Israel activism on their campuses.
This video was the result.
Their words speak for themselves.
