It certainly didn't start w them. Still remember MTG Jewish space lasers comments. The GOP was openly embracing those spreading antisemitic speech long before these two weighed in.

And Charlottesville before that, and Trump reluctantly and slowly declining David Duke’s endorsement. Trump also outlined his definition of what American Jews are supposed to be (basically Israeli citizens).

I was constantly bullied by the Evangelical Southern Baptists I went to high school with in South Carolina. I harbor a great deal of resentment, but I have never made threats of violence against anybody that is directly or tangentially associated with the Church.

I'm sorry he was bullied, but he can fuck right off with that bullshit victim mentality.

Silly man, he should just declare he's running as a republican in a local or national election and he'd get a nod and a handshake and be told best of luck on his campaign. No consequences, and in fact would help with endorsements.

There's this girl I know who, within the first week of seeing her again after not seeing each other since Elementary school, told me that she harbored a bit of resentment towards black people because she was heavily bullied in that school district (which was predominantly black).

Idk, maybe it's because I didn't stay in that school district after 3rd grade, but I was bullied by the same groups of kids that bullied her and I didn't grow any amount of resentment for black people.

Or, you know, maybe it's cause I'm not a fucking racist. It's really not that hard to not judge people you don't know, idk why it's so hard for others to just mind their business and leave people alone

True story, when I was in second grade they had some “international food day”.

I was a typical rich suburban Massachusetts kid, which means I had no clue about anything other than my own life.

Anyways, a Jewish kid brought in the potato pancakes and applesauce. And it was the greatest thing I’ve ever tasted.

I have loved Jewish people ever since.

So for my entire life, I have never understood people who just are anti-Semitic or hate Jewish people. They clearly haven’t tried the food or dated the women. And I strongly suggest they do. 10/10 they will become fans.

Latkes if you didn't know the name if you ever wanted to look up recipes. Really easy to make. Shredded potato, egg, onion (powder works fine, but fresh is better IMO) and fry 'em up in a pan.

Also good with sour cream.

P.S. If you liked latkes, try kugel. It's a noodle dish.

I don't think hate of that caliber is rational so there is no understanding those people. That goes for hatred of any ethnic groups in general.

I remember in high school our theater director/teacher made latkes for us, and it was the first and only time I had had them (this was the South in the 70s), until I got to grad school. She was wonderful. Rest in Power, Ruth.🥲

Don't have to be their ethnic to enjoy their ethnic foods!

We grew up with potato pancakes, and best with sour cream and salt. Applesauce on the side. Also things called pierogis. Some stuffed with sauerkraut and mushrooms. And then smoked kielbasa with some horserasdish dip.

Funny, being of European descent, I find Asian food, Indian food, and now, Spanish foods to have a wonderful selection of spices that are missing from most foods I grew up with.

Pierogis slapp. I called them periogioes as a kid. Incredible with sour cream.

Pierogi is already plural! It’s a battle that cannot be won.

But anyway I also grew up on Polish food and customs and there’s a lot of Jewish crossovers.

This is so wholesome. I love it! I grew up in a small town in MI where I only knew two Jewish families in the whole town. I ended up marrying a Jewish man and I feel so lucky that I get to live partly in that world now.

confusedham t1_iv34t19 wrote

We have a surprisingly large (but small really) Jewish community in australia. Only like 100 000 people.

Nobody really has interactions with them so I can only assume the everyday person is guided by US media in how they view the community.

I like to travel to one of the larger Jewish areas in Sydney because it has a nice walking path, and bonus that they have some great bakeries. Store bought bagels (even expensive ones) can’t compete with a fresh bakery made bagel!

Edit: by nobody has interactions, I mean they do. But most people don’t meet people and judge their whole work or friendship on religion. Also because they are not the majority, it’s not a topic on peoples minds.

Since he did apologize I don't see mainstream media reporting about it besides sports networks.

nomofica t1_iv26oij wrote

He apologized only after he was suspended.

And he was only suspended because he failed to apologize and walk back his previous statements twice.

Next you'll tell me he donated 500K to the ADL, but leave out the part where his donation was rejected because the ADL rightfully saw it as a piss poor attempt to buy his way out of being accountable for his words.
