A fairer headline would be "Zionist student says they do not feel safe at MIT"
GOOD
I bet the non-zionists feel pretty damn safe. It's MIT for fuck's sake.
Conflating Zionism with being Jewish is bullshit. CNN knows precisely what it's doing when it does this.
Conflating Zionism with being Jewish is antisemitic
Meanwhile nearby at Brandeis cops were just arresting pro-palestine protestors
wonder how safe people feel in gaza rn
Attacks on both Palestinian and Jewish citizens have increased since the beginning of the war. Both is unacceptable and neither justifies the other.
there is legitimate fear of antisemitism and pretending to be afraid of antisemitism (eg Amy Schumer) because you saw a free parking sign. Considering that she has an Israeli flag I'm leaning more towards the latter.
also, American Jews being more white-passing (yes I know not all Jews have light skin) likely do get attacked less compared to people with darker skin.
Keep in mind the first hate crime after 9/11 was against a Sikh man because an ignorant bigoted American thought he was Muslim.

That was Eve Fartlow.
Thats nice and all, but that doesn't make concerns about the safety of Jews any less valid. The world has become significantly more dangerous for both Jews and Palestinians, and the fact that one group might have it worse does not take away from the concerns of the other. It's like the classic "Why are you depressed? Other people have it so much worse than you!"
Btw, hate crimes against Arabs are also antisemitism, as by definition both Jews and Arabs are Semites, so I'm not sure how useful this word is in the context of the current conflict.
i have noticed that white supremacists have jumped at the opportunity to post antisemitic things in the spotlight and are receiving a lot less criticism, and it’s sad that people use the suffering of others to justify their hate, as it’s directed the wrong way
After the hospital bombing and the response by the media I had a colleague regurgitate some "Jews control the media" nonsense. I pushed back that Judaism isn't Zionism and this is the normal media response to anything relating to western foreign policy and maintaining US hegemony. Shits depressing.
She shouldn't feel safe on MIT campus looking like that, either. But entirely because she looks Persian. She's on Iranian flag sticker on her backpack away from being absolutely brutalized by campus police.
Fascists shouldnt feel safe anywhere
I wonder if the flag in the background has something to do with that.
Unironed flag spotted. Do you think she put it up just in time for this interview?
Gonna pull my Jew card out, as a non Zionist Jew I feel totally safe. The thing that has worried me most in terms of antisemitism has been the rise of the far right in Europe.
Liberals will praise the brave fighters of the Azov battalion in the same sentence as they condemn Arab students for “antisemitism”
As an American living in America, I don't feel particularly safe as a tall white middle aged man. Just walking through downtown and looking crosswise at the goon squad that is the HPD, and it gives me the willies. They're all just looking for an excuse to reenact some grainy video of "How to survive a knife attack" they saw during training. And that's assuming they're not drunk or roided up or feeling particularly angry at the world after losing one too many games of Candy Crush.
Maybe after these freaks are done lashing out at me, they might come back around and say I was looking at them too Jewishly. Or maybe my facial hair and slight tan might trigger their "Arab-looking" danger sense. Idfk. All I know is that these guys are constantly looking for fights and aren't shy about lashing out at the homeless at every chance they get.
Israel's been pretty damn antisemitic too, I don't think anyone else has killed more Semitic people in recent memory (other than the US)
There most certainly has been an increase in anti-Semitic expression and actions. There have been assaults of Jewish people outside and Israel and attacks on Synagogues. There have also of course been increases in Islamophobic attacks. This happens every time Israel does this shit. One of its many terrible effects is that by pushing the idea that to criticize Israel is anti-Semitic, and due to the open support of Israel by most large liberal Jewish organizations (which are the most public and influential), and their support of the definition of antisemitism as including criticism of Israel, this leads to many people actually making the inference that antisemitism is correct. In other words it gives cover and justification to anti-Semites.
If you're in Europe, you are inevitably going to hear a bunch of anti-Semitic shit from every social class and every ethnic and religious group. There have been upticks in attacks on Jews and antisemitic graffiti. It's probably either far-right white supremacist fascists or its Islamists, but the European governments (e.g. France) are claiming, and the bourgeois media is pushing, that these are also psy-ops from Russia (lmao, these societies are already anti-Semitic, Russia doesn't need to do anything). In France there have also been a couple Islamists attacks with teachers getting beheaded, though I'm not sure of the teachers background, though often in these cases the reasons given for the attacks are self-evidently anti-Semitic.
