"Here's what Maurice Cohen, chair of the #Jewish Representative Council, gets that a lot of us don't: #antiSemitism doesn't arrive with a #swastika armband and a manifesto. It seeps in through the gaps in our moral certainty. It sounds like a #Jordanian #doctor refusing to treat a #Jewish #woman in an #Irish hospital. It looks like #graffiti calling to '#KillJews' in #Dublin streets. It feels like a Jewish family being driven out of #Killorglin after five years because their neighbours decided being Jewish made them unwelcome.Now, I can already hear the protests - That's not anti-Semitism, that's legitimate highlighting of #Israeli policy. Except - and this is crucial - it's not. A Jewish woman in #Cork awaiting a #Csection didn't create #Netanyahu's coalition government. A family in Killorglin didn't vote for Israeli #settlements. A child in a Dublin playground didn't authorise any military action. They're just Jewish. And we're making them pay for that."https://www.westernpeople.ie/opinion/lets-not-abandon-irelands-beleaguered-jews_arid-81775.html

"The only known #Jewish #museum in the #Arab world is tucked away in a residential neighborhood of the #Moroccan economic metropolis of #Casablanca, guarded by a lone soldier.Among other items, the museum contains black-and-white photos of Jewish life in #Morocco from the 1920s and 1930s. The pictures show craftsmen at work, celebrations and family life. Display cases contain #Torah scrolls and clothing, a few old #manuscripts ― all relics from a time when Morocco still had a large Jewish community.Around 300,000 #Jews lived in the Arab country, which had a population of 7 million at the time, when the state of #Israel was founded in 1948. After that, most emigrated, motivated in part by anti-Jewish #pogroms in the cities of #Oujda and #Jerada in the same year, in which more than 40 Jews died. About 1 million #Israelis with Moroccan roots live in the Jewish state today. Around 3,000 to 5,000 Jews remained in Morocco, most of them living in Casablanca."https://www.dw.com/en/jews-in-morocco-a-small-community-often-overlooked/a-75115308

"#Jews comprise 0.2% of the world’s population.Take a group of 500 random people, and on average, 499 won’t be #Jewish.So you may be wondering what it’s like to be part of that 0.2%.Here’s a little snapshot:In May, Jews gathered at a museum reception in #WashingtonDC. A #gunman started #shooting. Two attendees were #killed.In June, Jews gathered at a park in #Boulder, #Colorado. An assailant threw #Molotovcocktails into the crowd. A woman was killed.In October, Jews gathered at a #synagogue in #Manchester, #England. A man drove his car into pedestrians and #stabbed them. Two people were killed.In December, Jews gathered on a beach in #Sydney, #Australia. #Terrorists opened fire. Fifteen people were killed.That’s just in 2025.Bottom line: being Jewish is dangerous."https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/dear-non-jewish-friends/
