Ever single gentile needs to read each and every one of these.

A Jewish woman on Instagram made a post about how matzo is made and why we eat it on Passover.

Every reply was violent, vile, and hateful.

I need you to understand how even the most innocuous part of Jewish existence is reviled.

It's not about bad words & hurt feelings, or even increasing violence. Progressives & radicals must see antisemitism as the oldest & one of the most effective tools the ruling class has to divide & defeat any movement for progress. Don't let them manipulate you - stand up for us as we do for you.

This is appalling. I went to find her page to leave a supportive comment, and the video was so interesting! It takes intentionality for non-targets to see abuse like this, so I’m grateful to you for flagging.

The bit about needing to account for the action of wild yeasts was totally new for me. I wonder if the traditionally-made stuff is really different tasting from the Manischewitz kind?

I had some strongly pro-Palestinian, leftist students basically corroborating this in a class discussion recently — that they see vile antisemitic replies to just a ton of the posts on Instagram, and they’re disgusted by it

The overwhelming majority of Palestinian people I’ve encountered online are very sensitive to, and willing to call out, any antisemitism they run into.

The only reason I share any Jewish content on TikTok, and I haven't posted anything since this past Hanukkah, is because I have put incredibly comprehensive comment filters in place so they can try, but their hate never sees light of day. IG doesn't have that and it's vile.

Antisemitism towards Jews is nothing new the only thing that’s changed is they found a new way of saying anti-Jews the new word is anti- Zionist when Zionist was created exactly for this reason but even more so to protect the jews from being slaughtered like in the Holocaust.

People need to stop the anti-Zionist crap because it is the way of spreading anti-Jew. The media and influential people including politicians are in on this hate. They hate America and Israel and got Americans brain washed to sympathize for Terriost groups.

I am so, so sorry for the ignorance and hatefulness of far too many people. My guess is these fools illogically blame all Jews for the heinous actions of Netanyahu and his party. This isn't rocket science, yet....

I'd love to hear the matzo story if you're still willing to share it. Sending hugs...

As a Jew with OCD, I get so mad anyone claims following the mitzvot or minhag are just OCD. No they're fucking not. Being Jewish has actively helped ease my OCD so much because there's explanations and I'm allowed to say "I won't do that." Don't get me wrong, it's all gross. That one has me livid.

This kind of antisemitism is usually bad twice over because you make innocuous observations about Jewish life and you’re met with immediate vitriol, and then if you push back or complain about it, you’re “exaggerating” or “centering your minor complaints over more important things”

DO NOT reply to this and say “oh that’s just instagram” or “instagram is bad you shouldn’t be on it anyway.

This is not just instagram. This is AMERICAN SOCIETY. This is wide-spread anti-Jew hatred.

And every single post she makes results in these exact replies.

I think the most honest thing we can do is constantly and thoroughly examine our biases, ESPECIALLY in the face of the moment. I'm really sad to see some folks not be able to handle the nuance of "not every Jewish person is on board with Israel".

And it's not just a right-wing phenomenon.

I don't expect those idiots to be anything but evil, but we need to demand better from those who claim to be good. If you're harassing Jews for being Jewish, you're as bad as any other bigot and should get the hell out.

I agree with you it is not just instagram. I have noticed lately though, that it is getting *worse* on places like instagram. Same thing with posts by/about transgender people. It’s unclear how much of it is real and how much is manufactured, but all of it is hurtful.

What do you think is the fraction of organic hate, vs high-
volume low-effort social disruption that the usual bad actor content mills churn out daily? A surprising amount of the really divisive crap on other topics (ie American civil war) is just content mill pot stirring.

Agreed. And everyone online is habitually underestimating it, especially on larger sites like Insta.

That said, the fact so many real people are that easy to provoke into bandwagoning is depressing.

When I was a grad student and union rep/organizer c. 2023-24 I tried to stand up to this exact sort of shit from other leftists and labor organizers, and I was of course ostracized and antagonized into resigning from those spaces instead

Nobody ever believes me that this happened

I had to deactivate my Instagram in 2019 bc I made a post saying ”No one’s illegal on stolen land” at a Jews Against ICE protest due to hundreds of vile comments (wouldn’t surprise me if post was dropped in a conservative antisemitic group claiming to care about Palestinians).

Ive usually seen it thrown at things like the eruv, where "defining spaces for the public good" or otherwise making rules based on context and exigencies is seen as sophistry and attempting to "cheat" the rules, rather than make them easier to follow
