I'm with you. North American Jews should be much more muscled in their response, as I have already written countless times. How about pulling all donations to cultural, medical, charitable groups until the antisemitism is dealt with by governments? How about a Jewish rapid response team to ugly Palestinian demonstrations and encampments? How about denunciation of governmental authorities for their wishy-washy anti-jewish stances and calls to abandon them at the polls? How about.....?

Jew hatred is fundamentally the problem of non-Jewish society. So...

Pat is brilliant at nailing the motives for anti Semitism. I once wrote an article entitled "We are the good Jews, not the bad ones", as a satire for Jews claiming "we dont want to make trouble". But today the Jews are justifiably making trouble instead of keeping their heads down. This article is truly relevant.

Thanks Pat. I hope that non-Jews read your substack, stand up and speak out. this won't end until the "silent majority" of non-Jews start to publicly lean on our leaders and institutions in a meaningful way.. Otherwise, we will continue to hear platitudes from our PM and politicians deploring antisemitism in the same breath that they condemn Israel and as they continue to do absolutely nothing about the harassment and marginalization.. Thanks for all you do

Excellent, I have long wondered why Jews haven’t fought back more. Of course it’s east for me to say this!
