i’d encourage people to donate to HIAS, the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, if able. they support refugees and immigrants all over the world.
the pittsburgh shooter allegedly posted on social media, claiming that HIAS are bringing in ‘hostile invaders’ that ‘kill our people’, before carrying out the shooting.
he will not silence us. now, more than ever, we stand with immigrants and refugees, and live our jewish values publicly and bravely.
I try not to speak up about Trump because he exhausts me like no other. But blaming the shooting on the fact that there were no armed guards at the Synagogue. I want to be very clear here: this is rhetoric that goes back to blaming the victims of the Holocaust for not having guns. Not only is this not true, it is antisemitic. STOP BLAMING JEWS FOR BEING SLAUGHTERED. IT IS NOT OUR FAULT – IT IS THE FAULT OF THE NAZIS, ALT RIGHT, AND OTHER ANTISEMITES THAT ATTACK US.
98% of public mass murders are in gun free zones. This was a gun free zone. Get rid of gun free zones and allow adults to carry guns to defend themselves and others. It’s not victim blaming. It’s a practical method to counter mass murderers.
Shut the FUCK UP shut UP this isn’t about them not having guns it’s about the terrorist HAVING one and CHOOSING TO USE IT WHERE FAMILIES ARE GATHERED FOR RELIGIOUS REASONS
“The flag I was carrying is the same one I always hold in all the other protests I’ve attended. My friends make fun of me, saying it is easier to throw rocks without holding a flag in the other hand, but I got used to it.
If I get killed, I want to be wrapped in the same flag. We are demanding our right of return, and protesting for our dignity and the dignity of our future generation.”
