Carl, The Jewish people know the power of words and the danger of silence. The Holocaust did not begin with murder but with antisemitic rhetoric that went unchallenged. Today, the internet is full of poisonous Jewish tropes that are growing and spreading like a cancer. And many of these slurs are combined with frightening calls to action that threaten the safety of all Jews. We cannot afford to ever turn a blind eye to blatant online hate — especially what is being posted on social media. Brave young Jewish leaders are standing up and calling out some of the vile comments they have received: “F*** Jews. They don’t deserve to be called people.” “Judaism is literally a racist cult which promotes pedophilia and rape.” “You belong in an oven.” If you find this as shocking and unsettling as we do, please make a generous gift to the World Jewish Congress, American Section in support of all the critical work of the World Jewish Congress. Together we can fight back against all forms of antisemitism. |
