Цитата относится к части, описывающей положение до 7.10.2023. Потом описывается эскалация антисемитизма в последний год. И из подборки примеров следует, что основной вклад в эскалацию внесли левые. Хотя правые тоже в какой-то мере участвуют.
Ну и в конце размышления о том, что делать евреям. Гордиться еврейством и не сливать Израиль, хоть и не обязательно во всем слепо поддерживать.
большое спасибо! тогда это не просто "не полностью отражает содержание статьи", а, в какой-то мере, отражает почти ровно наоборот. если человек ДО 7 октября считал, что основной антисемитизм в США идет справа, а ПОСЛЕ понял, что слева (про том, что, да, справа есть, и возможно, тоже увеличился) - это еще ничего. (другое дело, что я и ДО считал, что слева больше и опаснее, и, в какой-то мере, имею право сейчас сказать, "I've told you so!") если же человек и после считает, что "справа больше и опаснее", то, мое мнение, плохи дела у такого человека
After Oct. 7, it became personal. It was in the neighborhoods in which we lived, the professions and institutions in which we worked, the colleagues we worked alongside, the peers with whom we socialized, the group chats to which we belonged, the causes to which we donated, the high schools and universities our kids attended. The call was coming from inside the house.
It happened in innumerable ways, large and small.
The home of an impeccably progressive Jewish director of a prominent art museum was vandalized with red spray paint and a sign accusing her of being a “white supremacist Zionist.” A storied literary magazine endured mass resignations from its staff members for the sin of publishing the work of a left-wing Israeli. A Jewish journalist scrolled through Instagram and recognized an old friend from Northwestern gleefully tearing down posters of Hamas’s hostages while saying “calba” — dog in Arabic — to the pictures of kidnapped infants and elderly people. A leading progressive congresswoman was asked during a TV interview about Hamas’s rapes of Israeli women and called them an unfortunate fact of war before quickly returning to the subject of Israel’s alleged perfidy. An 89-year-old Holocaust survivor petitioned the Berkeley City Council to pass a Holocaust Remembrance Day proclamation in light of the resurgence of antisemitism and was heckled by demonstrators. An on-campus caricature depicted an affable Jewish law school dean holding a knife and fork drenched in blood. A Columbia University undergraduate posted on Instagram: “Be grateful that I’m not just going out and murdering Zionists.” Tucker Carlson platformed a Hitler apologist. Trump warned Jews that he is prepared to blame them should he lose the election.
All these stories became public, but what could be at least as upsetting were the stories you heard about only over meals with friends and acquaintances. A publishing executive who wanted to promote a novel set during the Holocaust but faced internal resistance from staff members who saw it as “Zionist propaganda.” A college freshman with a Jewish surname being the only person in her dorm to have anti-Israel leaflets pushed under her door. A student who suggested to me, during a give-and-take at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, that Israelis should heed the words of the Book of Matthew and turn the other cheek. It reminded me of Eric Hoffer’s quip that “everyone expects the Jews to be the only real Christians in this world.”
At some point, an awakening of sorts occurred. Perhaps not for every American Jew, but for many. I’ve called them the Oct. 8 Jews — those who woke up a day after our greatest tragedy since the Holocaust to see how little empathy there was for us in many of the spaces and communities and institutions we thought we comfortably inhabited. It was an awakening that often came with a deeper set of realizations.
One realization: American Jews should not expect reciprocity.
Few minorities have been more conspicuously attached to progressive causes than American Jews: Samuel Gompers and labor unionism; Betty Friedan and feminism; Harvey Milk and gay rights; Abraham Joshua Heschel and civil rights; Robert Bernstein and human rights. A proud history, but whatever we poured of ourselves into the pain and struggle of others was not returned in our days of grief. Nor should we expect much understanding: In an era that stresses sensitivity to every microaggression against nearly any minority, macroaggressions against Jews who happen to believe that Israel has a right to exist are not only permitted but demanded.
A second: “Zionist” has become just another word for Jew. Anti-Zionists deny this strenuously, because a vocal handful of Jews are also anti-Zionist and because outright antisemitism is still unfashionable and because they’d like to believe — or at least tell others — that their objection is to a political ideology rather than to a people or a religion.
But when the wished-for dire consequences of anti-Zionism fall directly on the heads of millions of Jews and when the people the anti-Zionists seek to silence, exclude and shame are almost all Jewish and when the charges they make against Zionists invariably echo the hoariest antisemitic stereotypes — greed, deceit, limitless bloodlust — then the distinctions between anti-Zionist and antisemite blur to the point of invisibility.
Возможно, Брет этого не знает (или почему-то не захотел писать), но сходство с совком, в котором официально боролись не с евреями, а исключительно с сионистами, производит сильное впечатление.
Буду признателен за ссылку на Трампа. Я видел его не слишком уклюжее заявление о том, что он не понимает как евреи могут голосовать за демократов, которое по тональности не сильно отличалось от заявлений Байдена и Обамы по поводу негров, не желающих голосовать за демократов.
""If I don't win this election - and the Jewish people would really have a lot to do with that if that happens because if 40%, I mean, 60% of the people are voting for the enemy - Israel, in my opinion, will cease to exist within two years," Trump told the crowd."
Говоря попросту, Трамп высказал мение, что если он проиграет (а в этот проигрыш внесут существенный вклад те многочисленные американские евреи, которые собираются голосовать за врага Израиля), то Израиль перестанет существовать через пару лет.
у меня даже есть уверенность, что станет более тяжелой, но, возвращаясь к Брету, Трамп таки это сказал, даже если и не в смысле "это все евреи виноваты!"

Ну а бред про перестанет существовать через пару лет - это как обычно.
обсуждает возможность своего проигрыша
Date: 2024-10-22 10:41 pm (UTC)Да, это шаг в правильном направлении, — я его недооценивал :-)
Надеюсь, что этого не произойдет, но уверенности в том, что, в случае его проигрыша, ситуация не станет для Израиля более тяжелой, у меня нет.
