I'm Terrified But Won't Shut Up About Jew-Hatred
I won’t lie to you in that I am fricking terrified at the dangerous levels of Jew-hatred in America and across the globe.
My trans identity may be under attack from Republicans but my Jewish identity is under attack from people across the political spectrum. Jew-hatred is one of the worst viruses in the book—it dates back over 2,000 years. The Egyptians, Amalek, Romans, Nazis, you name it. Someone tries to kill us, we survived, let’s eat, right? I don’t know about you but when are we going to get to the point of eating? But in all seriousness, the tragic events that befell us on Simchas Torah will likely be added to Israeli Memorial Day. It’s possible that it joins the list of events we remember on Tisha B’Av but those events historically happened on Tisha B’Av.
